"In Between"
Pastel, " x 12"

 

Norm Bleistein   more info / photos   

“I am hooked on the potential of digital processing for recapturing the image in my mind’s eye. Traditional film or new digital media can capture only a small fraction of the highlight and shadow that the human eye sees. The digital darkroom facilitates recapturing the visual image, especially near the edges of the range of light of the medium, where detail begins to fail. Further, the eye interprets color more vividly than it appears in any image capture. I try to reproduce that interpreted color while avoiding artificial enhancement. For me, the result has to be pleasing and plausible, but I admit to a consciousness of light and color that was raised by my love and study of impressionist painting.”

"As in life, so it is in art. The more I paint and learn, the more there is to learn. Art is complex! In addition to skill and talent, the study demands intellectual discipline and commitment. Thankfully, because of my passion for art, there is infinite pleasure in the process. As a serious artist, I strive to make the difficult and complex become beautiful and spontaneous. My desire is to speak through my art on an intimate and unique level. "
 


 


"Untitled Still Life"
 
Michelle Chrisman   more info / photos     

"Painting is a mysterious process. There is the academic side where one learns all of the “rules” that are necessary, whether you are going to use them or break them. Then there is the poetry. I love painting in a way that applies the rules and then dives into another poetic place. I am a colorist and a modernist and I love to take painting to the edge of disaster which is a walk on the wild side! I also love to paint in a way where the viewer sees thick and moving paint, as it has the most sensuous quality all on its own."

 
 

"King Over Ojito in Last Sun’s Glow"
Oil on canvas
Bren Corn   more info / photos     

Corn believes art is limitless to interpretation. She invites the viewer to experience her work and allow each piece to strike in its’ own way. She says, “Ultimately, you will not see what I see; every individual is reached differently. I want you to take out of it what you will. That is truly the beauty and wonders of Art.”

"Nature offers an endless variety of beauty, but all too often it goes unnoticed. My goal is to capture some of this beauty and present it in such a way that the viewer feels the same emotion I felt while observing nature and painting it."



 
 

"Autumn Reflections
24 x 30

 
Ken Elliott   more info / photos     

“Typically, I’m trying to use brighter colors than are found in nature, but that still seem believable to me. I am also balancing different elements in my work to make a more interesting scene.  Whistler said, ‘I’m improving on nature.’  That is very close to what goes on when I am working.  It is very much a chess game.  There is a lot of deliberating, chance-taking and moving pieces around.”

 


 


"Yellow Dance"
oil on canvas
48 x 60
 
Carlene Francis  more info / photos     

My canvas is a field of color continuously in play from edge to edge rather than organized in terms of figure/ground relationships. The work reflects the juxtaposition of complexities with simplicities, thus harmonizing opposites.  One might conceptualize non-objective work as meditation..... a peaceful place to rest the mind.  We need not identify with form on the two dimensional surface of the canvas.
 


 
Deborah Fuelberth  more info / photos     

Deborah focuses much of her attention to light and color in her creation of landscapes, wildlife and her love of horses and their people. Her work has been described as impressionistic realism. “I want to bring the joy of life through painting and use my brush to create a connection with the viewer.”

Jeff Koehn              more info / photos     

 
Jeff Koehn is one of a few younger artists that have captured the interest of gallery owners and art lovers across the country these past several years. Born in a small Midwestern town, his first grade teacher was prescient when she told him he would be a famous artist some day.

Jeff's style has evolved from early emphasis on photo-realism with the use of pastels in cityscapes and figurative works. His earlier illustrative works have appeared in numerous publications. As he shifted to oil and acrylics, he has become absorbed with the excitement of color and texture, refining his paintings with dry brush techniques that lend both complexity and subtlety to his distinctive style.

'Turkish Boatmen'
pastel. 16 x 23
Meg Miller  more info / photos     

"By taking simple and often mundane images, symbols, numbers, patterns and iconography from popular culture, and playing with the juxtaposition of them by placing them in an unexpected context, they develop a new personality and become art.  This helps us notice an invisible world around us that we might otherwise look at, but never see."

E. Melinda Morrison  more info / photos    

"People have always been my first love in painting. Even though I love to paint landscapes, my greatest appreciation is for the human form. Whether a humorous or emotional moment, capturing a person in a moment of expression is the ultimate glory for me in my painting."
 
 

'The Honeymooners'

 
Tracy Parker  more info / photos     

Through my abstract mixed-media expressions I aim to inspire people to transform the way we relate and connect to the world of environments which we live in. " 

"These paintings are everything I feel, see and do; everything I can’t find words to express.   I seek subject matter that is very personal, but is able to be translated universally."
 

'Lighthouse #1
'
Garnie Quick  more info / photos    

"My love affair with watercolors started when my children were in high school. I had always wanted to express myself in some way and watercolor became that medium. The joy comes from not only expressing my impression of the world around me but also from the the creation of a whole new world in the process."

"My hope is that anyone viewing my work will be able to feel the essence of what I try to capture."

 

 

"A Street in Nice"
watercolor, 14" x 20"

 
Kathryn Riedinger  more info / photos     

“The light as it bounces and flows across a scene, creating shape, form and natural color harmonies is the thing that intrigues me the most. I’m just trying to articulate on canvas the beauty of what I’m seeing out there. To hear someone say my painting reminds them of being in their favorite place outdoors makes me think I’ve succeeded.”

"My art reflects my faith in imagination and intuition, and my fascination with the natural world.  Through painting, my ideas and visions become tangible.  When I begin a work, I don't know how it will end, but everything I have seen and experienced influences the outcome.  I see each piece as an interaction -- a conversation – with the evolving painting.  This approach to creating art is extremely personal -- each piece is a unique result of who I am and how I relate to the world around me."

"Aqua, Good and Evil"

 
Phyllis Stone                more info / photos     

Phyllis Stone is a Denver artist with a life-time interest in art who has been painting for over 20 years. She works primarily in oils and has done both traditional realistic works and abstract and nonrepresentational paintings.

"Many of my paintings as well as the series incorporating copper and glass are about journeys. Maps can help us arrive at the destination, but the route taken is up to the individual. That is a way to look at art. And it is similar with life, as each person must seek his or her own way. As the saying goes, "Life is a Trip." 
 

 

 

"Destination"
acrylic, 40" x 40"
Steve Zavodny  more info / photos     

I had a serious eye operation at age 23.  Consequently, I took seeing more seriously, enough to get a camera and start shooting.

I became left-eyed and right brained.  I saw people as living cartoons and nature as the source of all.  Now I have made a garden that I photograph and it supplies me with an endless source of nature.
