DESIGN X2 -- Nov. 2016 - Feb. 2017

Two graphic designer, serious painter people ( me and Coni Grant ) have put up a fabulous show here in Alamosa, Colorado, in the ARTrium at SLV Health Regional Medical Center.

Show Reception Party will be on Friday, January 13, 2017, from 4-7 pm.

Alamosa Artwalk 2013

All sorts of arts will blossom in Alamosa this Friday and Saturday, June 21-22. My paintings will be on display at Wild Roses on Main Street in the Antiques side front window. Might even try a little painting between 11 am and 2 pm. This art created around town and a few other paintings will be on display.

Front Yard Aspen, water media, 11 x 8.5

VFW Post 899, Alamosa, water media, 11 x 11

Sacred Heart, water media, 10 x 8

Cole Park + City Hall, water media, 5 x 7

Ready to Jump, water media, 5 x 7

The first four were created (at least partially) on location last summer (en plein air) using both drawing and painting materials and methods. The cat showed up late last fall and spent some time hanging out in the neighborhood. A savvy fellow.

"Trail"

"Morning Light"

SQUARE Show at Milagros

It's spring here in the mountains, and I am part of a wonderful show of more than 90 small paintings at Milagros Coffeehouse in Alamosa for March and April. Twenty percent of show sales will benefit La Puente and other local nonprofits.

The SQUARE Show came to life after much experimentation with the square format during Coni Grant's Adult Painting Classes over more than a year. Nine students and former students are in the show. All images are perfectly square, many only 6" x 6".

I like the small square format very much. I find it elegant and intimately accessible to the viewer. I use it on a canvas board which is defined by edge of frame. And I use it on museum board where the naturally ragged painting edge may show inside a mat opening. A matted image is generally presented under glass, but I am also developing beautiful ways to mat and frame without glass which gives a softer presentation. A few of my show entries are posted above.

"Hazy Day"

"High Mountain Meadow"

"Rain Approaches the Rio Grande"

"The Marsh just after Sunset"

"Clouds at Play over Blanca"

"Evening Gold"

"Twilight"

Taos Show...Hearts and Stars

Somehow the year ended without me telling about participating in the December Hearts and Stars Miniature Show in Taos, NM. It is a show held each year at Wilder Nightingale Fine Art specifically to benefit the Taos Coalition to End Homelessness.

This was my first year to send a couple paintings to the show and I was happy to hear that my 8x10 landscapes, "Evening Gold" and "Twilight", received some positive attention. See the paintings directly above this post.

Thanks to Wilder Nightingale Fine Art for hosting this worthwhile benefit!

"Flowing Gold"

Creative Capitol show in Denver

The painting above this text ("Flowing Gold") is currently on display in the Colorado State Capitol through February 28, 2010. It is part of an exhibition celebrating Artists of Southwestern Colorado. I am honored to be one of 37 artists from 16 counties.

A public reception will be held on Thursday, January 28, 2010, 4:00 - 5:30 pm in the Offices of Lt. Governor Barbara O'Brien.

The raking evening light in this painting reveals brilliant golds in contrast with deep shadows along the Rio Grande as it flows through the San Luis Valley. Here water is more precious than gold.
