Southwest Art Magazine Feature Article & ALTAMIRA FINE ART Exhibit

Hello Everyone!

This post is to share the Southwest Art Magazine article and a few more paintings that are a part of the ATLAMIRA FINE ART exhibit.  

Southwest Art Magazine Feature Article - August 2013 Issue

I was literally speechless while speaking with the managing editor of Southwest Art Magazine when she told me that they would like to do a feature article of my work.  A feature article in a prestigious magazine is a pivotal point in an artists career.  This happens only after an incredible amount of time 'behind the brushes' and from the support and enthusiasm from those who love art.  I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Southwest Art Magazine, to ALTAMIRA FINE ART, to The Gerald Peters Gallery, to Trio Fine Art, to the collectors of my art and to my friends and family.  Art is not created in a vacuum and my work would not be where it is now without you.  

The link below will connect you to the Southwest Art Magazine article:

ALTAMIRA FINE ART Exhibit

I am excited to share that the recent exhibit has been a success and is still up at ALTAMIRA.  If you are in Jackson and would like to see it please do so as it will be taken down this Monday the 29th.  Enclosed are a few paintings in the exhibit that I was not able to include in the last post.  

'Bailar' - 40 x 60 - Oil on Belgian Linen - ALTAMIRA FINE ART - SOLD

'Midnight' - 20 x 30 - Oil on Belgian Linen - ALTAMIRA FINE ART - SOLD 

'Ode to Kuhn' - 24 x 30 - Oil on Belgian Linen - ALTAMIRA FINE ART - SOLD

'Rocky Mountain Majesty' - 30 x 30 - Oil on Belgian Linen - ALTAMIRA FINE ART - SOLD

Even though this is a quick post I still have to include a picture of Uma.  Here she is in a saddle bag, needless to say she was not pleased about the experiment which lasted all of about two minutes.  :)

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

All my best,

~ September 

An Exhibit at ALTAMIRA FINE ART and an upcoming Southwest Art Article

Hello!

I hope everyone is enjoying the warmth and abundance of summer.

There are many new works in the studio for an upcoming exhibit at ALTAMIRA FINE ART titled 'A Divine Pause' from July 15th - 27th, with the reception on July 18th from 5 - 8.  If you are in Jackson please come, we would love to see you.  If you are not in town please view the works online at www.altamiraart.com or www.vhay.com, the paintings will be posted online as they arrive at the gallery. 

I have had the honor of exhibiting at ALTAMIRA FINE ART for the last year and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience on many levels.  They are dedicated to the union of art, collectors, artists and the public.  I am grateful to be affiliated with this team and their collaborative venture of connecting people with art.  

On that note, below is a sneak preview of a few works that are currently on their way to the gallery for this exhibit.  

'Chiefs of Day' - 30 x 77 - Charcoal on paper - Available at ALTAMIRA FINE ART -  SOLD 

'Chiefs of Night' - 30 x 77 - Charcoal on paper - Available at ALTAMIRA FINE ART - SOLD 

'Legends Stand' - 30 x 30 - Charcoal on paper - Available at ALTAMIRA FINE ART - SOLD 

'A Summer's Glance' - 12 x 24 - Oil on Belgian Linen - Available at ALTAMIRA FINE ART

There will also be a few Red Horse oils and watercolors in this exhibit.  I will add the new watercolors in a post soon, here are the oils.  

'Red Horse Nine' - 45 x 66 - Oil on Canvas - Available at ALTAMIRA FINE ART - SOLD

'Red Horse Forty Seven' - 15 x 17 - Oil on Belgian Linen - Available at ALTAMIRA FINE ART - SOLD 

'Red Horse Thirty Six' - 22 x 28 - Oil on Canvas - Available at ALTAMIRA FINE ART - SOLD 

Another piece of news is that Southwest Art Magazine will be doing a featured article on my work in their upcoming August issue (watch for details in my next post).  Needless to say, I am very excited to see it in print. 

And to close out this post is a photo taken of the studio.  Since I had a picture of 'Summer's Glance' on the easel I am including it in this post to give you a view into where it was created.  I use a Santa Fe II Easel which can hold a piece as small as the above (12"tall x 24"wide) or as large as the bison charcoals (30"tall x 77"wide) in this post.  For small paintings I use the pallet on the easel (on this picture it is the long thin piece of glass just below the painting) and for larger pieces I use the freestanding pallet to the right of the easel which is on wheels so very mobile.   

Tea and popcorn are the essential creative ingredients.  :)

Uma's Post:

Uma never fails to make me laugh on a regular basis. 

David Swift, a well known and very good local photographer, took this picture of her along the bike path a few weeks ago.  She was curious about his fancy camera and bright orange jacket but most likely wondering if there was a treat anywhere in his pockets. 

I will add another post as soon as the rest of the works are done for the ALTAMIRA FINE ART Exhibit. 

Be well, and thank you for your precious time in reading this post.
