New Arrivals! Walt Gonske at Saks Galleries
 |
| San Luis Winter, oil, 11 x 16 inches |
Artist Statement
"In the past, I would have an idea for a painting and hold to that idea through to the finish. I could pretty much see the end result before I started. There were no surprises. But now my understanding of the process is that the idea is just the first impulse. From that first impulse forward, improvisation takes over. The end result is not about that first idea, but is instead a record of all those impulses along the way. Each stroke of paint carries emotion and power. I work in a loose, painterly style in part because I want the viewer to see the process and not hide it behind 'finish;' for the viewer to maybe even feel how a particular piece of paint was put down.

| Rio Ojo Caliente, oil, 9 x 12 inches |
Painting is not about reproducing nature. I like the notion that art should have more to do with the communication of the artist's emotions to the viewer through the paint itself. My goal in the work is not to show what I know, but what I feel. The more intensely I can express emotion though paint about the subject, the more likely the viewer will respond. All I can do is make an honest effort and then accept without judgement. To remain neutral about the paintings and to not judge them as good or bad is very important to moving forward.

| Apodaca Apple Blossoms, oil, 8 x 12 inches |
My best work comes when I'm able to give up control, to trust my impulses. Then the painting takes on a life of its own. When I don't know what is going to happen next, the process becomes full of surprise and wonder."

New Arrivals! Barry Eisenach at Saks Galleries
 |
| Elk Scent oil, 24 x 36 inches |
Barry Eisenach began drawing at an early age and after 23 years as an illustrator and
graphic designer he followed his life long desire to paint and sculpt. Having grown up in
the west, he was naturally drawn to portraying the lives and history of the indigenous
peoples and explorers of this region. Eisenach feels it is a privilege to stand on the
shoulders of the western artists that have come before.
