BRENT I have looked at this video a bunch of times , but I cannot kick-up the volume to hear your commentary. Other videos I watch play with normal sound. Have you heard of this problem from anyone else ?

JAMES A lovely painting. Very unusual light. Was a storm coming in, or was it early evening ?

LISA What a neat place to paint, no one looking over your shoulder, cool breeze, and good shade. But I have to ask, were you standing in water ?

New gallery-- and my website is up!

After I got back from my trip, I learned that I had been juried into the Chaffee Art Center for both pastels and oils. I am pleased, as I think that the Chaffee is in the process of evolving into a truly dynamic regional institution. I was also asked to apply to be a "featured artist" for next season's exhibitions!

I am only interested in what you think should be legitimately labeled a plein air work. Here are a coupl… Continue
