Autumn in Red

This is the painting that sold up in Cheyenne - not the 8"x 6" plein air piece in the previous post. 'Autumn in Red' is one of my large studio pieces, 48"x 36", and Rebecca Barrett, owner/operator of the Link Gallery in Cheyenne, has sold several of these large pieces for me. Thanks Rebecca.

Pinch Me!

I met with this fun surprise when I rolled into Cheyenne. It would be enough to see my name on the marquee but in the company of such heavy hitters like Don Weller, Dan D'Amico and Will Bullas
- that was a thrill.

On The Town

Cheyenne is full of history and cowboy romance. The area between the bright and newly redone Depot Plaza and the Botanical Gardens boasts the state capitol building and so many beautiful, gracious old homes. Alec Cooke, you will love painting here.
Saturday morning I took in the 2008 Western Spirit Art Show. David Montgomery, a fellow painter from the San Luis Valley had two landscapes in the show and Tom Lockhart, another San Luis Valley painter was one of the 3 jurors for this event.
Don Weller, won Best Watercolor and I was so excited to find that Rebecca Barrett had gotten his work for the Link Gallery. Bravo! Don Weller (I believe a WY native) was a premier designer and illustrator in California when I was a designer in San Francisco. I am HUGE fan!

Springtime in Cheyenne

The Link Gallery is located on the street level of the refurbished, historic Plains Hotel across from the, also historic, and recently refurbished, Train Depot. Depot Plaza will be the site of the "Quick-Draw" competition that wraps up the Inaugural Wyoming Plein Air Event in August. On Capitol Avenue, the gallery is also down the street from the Wyoming state capitol building.

One final note here- to artists; if you are interested in information about the Wyoming Plein Air Event you can download the prospectus at the Link Gallery Website at www. link-gallery.com or click on the my blog link to the gallery.
Big Skies beckon!

Gallery News, GRAND OPENING in Cheyenne

The Link Gallery, which, up to January, featured my work in Estes Park, has moved and after a month of renovation is now open in the historic, old town section of Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Link Gallery is owned and operated by Rebecca Barrett, a Brit with a passion for fine art, who I think, has already won the heart of this ol'cowboy town. Rebecca has the energy of a small nuclear power plant and the enthusiasm to drive it; it won't be long before she'll have all of Cheyenne at her doorstep.
The more I hear about Wyoming, the more I like it.
Check out the Grand Opening on March 29th, in Cheyenne at
1609 Capitol Ave., Cheyenne, Wyoming, 82001
or online at www.link-gallery.com. It will be a great party and I plan to be there.

New Year News

Christmas brought snow (yeah!) but the New Year brought scary-cold to our part of Colorado. Two paint outs were canceled due to below zero temps; and those were the highs for the day. The tree is down, the 'thank you"s written, now I am getting a serious case of cabin fever and counting the minutes until the kids go back to school.
I received some New Year news from the gallery in Estes Park that represents me - it is moving to Cheyenne, Wyoming. The proposed space is HUGE and in an up-and-coming arts district. Look for more about the LINK Gallery in Cheyenne, Wyoming and to check out their website go to www. link-gallery.com.
A grand opening is planned March 29, 2008- and I will be there. I'll keep you posted.
