Fine Art Painting of the Day
Deborah Bays

Deborah Bays "Light on Blue" 16 x 20 Pastel

Deborah Bays prepares her pastel compositions as she did when preparing theatre staging in the beginning of her career. “As westerners,” she explains …”we read from left to right, I carefully block in my still life objects with this in mind. Like dealing with stage space, I consider an interesting object on the left but illuminate more brightly another object in the upper-right corner of the painting, creating two focal points of interest in a diagonal line.”

Deborah also creates her compositions with mathematical prowess. Utilizing the ancient Golden Mean Theory, she often uses a predefined spot on a grid to balance interest. Deborah like artists, architects and composers from the past who practiced this theory, uses this technique to solve her problems of object placement to create a pleasing fine art painting.

She is inspired by the painting masters, Degas, Caravaggio and Vermeer but equally inspired by musical composers to guide her creativity from Beethoven to Mozart. Bays says the music inspires order and beauty because it possess a language that features color, chords and tempo like her paintings.

August 28 - September 19, 2015

Living in Taos, New Mexico gives artist Dinah Worman a constant source of imagery to fill her canvases. After years of painting pastels successfully, she shifted direction in a straight line to oils creating landscapes with a unique view. Dinah Worman designs a landscape that is abstract, stark, seemingly flattened out on the canvas dotted with benign white-faced cows all alone in trapezoidal fields. A modern view, derived strictly Dinah says from a subconscious level.

Dinah’s conceptual view is rooted in reality but as she says, “…more me – the vision moves forward pushing boundaries traveling constantly. My interpretation is more important to me than the object itself.”

Kim English Solo Exhibition

Friday, November 6, 2015

Both in his own life and on the canvas, Kim English combines technical bravura with careful observation. What he brings to our attention are magical moments - such as walking through an old-world arched passageway wondering what might be on the far side - not the far side itself but those moments of anticipation just before.

Kim English explores and creates visual observations of everyday life capturing the human spirit on canvas. Mikkel Saks says of Kim, "Day in and day out, Kim English is one of the finest artists in the country today. His brush work is spectacular, his compositions are electric, and his colors create a fantastic illusion of life."

Fine Art Painting of the Day

Edward Aldrich

Edward Aldrich "Field of Flowers" 8 x 14 Oil

More than a faithful reproduction, the wildlife art of Edward Aldrich captures the very essence of the animal... Each image becomes a stolen moment with an animal.

Edward Aldrich is an artist dedicated to reaching beyond the realistic rendering of wildlife and the natural world. He is convinced that conveying the inherent being of an animal is integral to his work. Edward style breathes life into his subjects and invokes the viewer into feeling that he or she is actually a witness to the scene. The viewer is not left to simply look and appreciate, but is drawn into experiencing the essence of what is depicted. In short, his is an art of feeling as well as portrayal.

Raj Chaudhuri Detailed View of "Ceremonial Race" 18 x 36 Oil

Raj Chaudhuri describes himself as one of the "New Orientalists," a traveling painter in the modern world. Storytelling is his focus, creating exotic imagery from ceremonial camel races to paintings utilizing bright flashes of color such as "Rajasthani Women Waiting for a Bus" which recently won Raj an Honorable Mention Award at the 15th Annual American Impressionist Society's National Juried Show.

Raj Chaudhuri says: "Art has always been my passion." Raj teaches a 3-day workshop at Art Students League of Denver - his subjects vary but his favorite is The Traveling Painter. Students review works of traveling painters and Orientalist's such as Sargent, Sorolla and others. They learn composition, emotional content and storytelling. Raj believes in learning the visual vocabulary of a painting.

Fine Art Painting of the Day
G. Russell Case

G. Russell Case "Navajo Perspective" 11 x 14 Oil

The sweeping western landscapes of artist Russell Case remind us of the great artists of the past who painted on grand scales such as Maynard Dixon and Thomas Moran.

Russell Case offers us the plain and simple truth of the west, warm tones, high canyon walls, jagged mountain ranges inhabited by a lonesome cowboy or a Navajo family traversing the harsh yet beautiful high desert landscape. Immense vistas draw us closer to the modern view of familiar scenery - light and shadow are brushed on the canvas with care.

Russell Case is to be collected, he was proven this with numerous awards including Best of Show and First Place Oil Painting - Phippen Western Art Show in Prescott and People’s Choice Award – Maynard Dixon Country, Utah.
