An Afternoon with Two Impasto Painters

Barry Kooser and Skye Mason

Demonstrations and Reception

Saturday, April 21, 2012

1:pm - 4:pm

Barry received a Fine Arts degree from Kansas City Art Institute. Barry swiftly moved into his professional career working full-time as a Background Artist at Walt Disney Feature Animation Studios in Orlando. "My work there, with such dedicated and talented artists, has given me an understanding of craftsmanship and helped me develop a passion for creating environments. This experience provided me the realization and the knowledge that technical understanding is a must — drawing, composition, value and color."

Kooser "Summer Light II" 30 x 30 oil

                                                                                                                                Skye Mason will show you five different stages of completion and demonstrate painting garden flowers. Skye's rich, thick impasto style is inviting and powerful. Her approach to the canvas has a romantic quality, layering the oils while utilizing dramatic colors to carefully display thick, visible strokes of the brush.  Discover her latest works presented at the gallery.

Award Winning Artist Stephanie Birdsall Joins Saks Galleries.

Three Beautiful New Works By Acclaimed Artist

Stephanie Birdsall

"Fresh" 8 x 10 oil

Join Saks Galleries as we welcome master artist, Stephanie Birdsall to the gallery in Cherry Creek, Denver Colorado. Just in time for spring.

Stephanie Birdsall has painted three new works for her first season at Saks Galleries. Visit the gallery in Cherry Creek Tuesday - Saturday. We open at 10:00 am.

Stephanie Birdsall received her formal training at the City and Guilds of London Art School in England. She has exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, England, Bargemon, France and both the Salmagundi and National Arts Clubs in New York. Her work has garnered recognition and over 40 awards in national and international juried exhibitions. The French Publication, L'Art du Pastel, recognized her as one of the leading international pastel artists.

"Hydrangea" 16 x 12 oil

In the early 2000's, Stephanie met an artist who would be her friend and mentor—renowned representational painter and author, Richard Schmid. Richard suggested that she start painting in oils along with her pastels. Schmid invited Stephanie to paint alongside him and it was during these Plein Air painting sessions that Stephanie blossomed as an artist of note, resulting in many awards including the Grumbacher Gold Medallion Award, the Degas Pastel Society Exceptional Merit Award.

"Afternoon Light" 11 x 14 oil

Ms. Birdsall's work has been displayed in select museum exhibitions and included in several Permanent Museum collections including the Florida Museum of Art and Culture which held a one woman show of her work.

Stephanie Birdsall will be featured in our upcoming "America the Beautiful" exhibition opening June 22, 2012.
