Welcome to Two Studio Art

Welcome to my blog. I am an artist living in two places therefore the name Two Studio Art. I normally paint in oil but I also enjoy working with pastels. A recent trend in painting is to paint in a small format and to paint often to improve one's skills. While I'm not a daily painter (too many other commitments) I try to paint at least once or twice a week. I recently started painting in plein air and find it a way to really connect with the colors seen in the environment. I am an instructor at Blue Raven Studio in Kayenta at Ivins, Utah where I teach a class at Canvas a la Carte. I also show my work at Blue Raven so stop by and take a look at the paintings that I don't get posted on my blog. I hope you enjoy your visit and return often.

The Birches


We live beside a lake in the wild woods of Alaska where ferns, mushrooms and mosses grow in abundance. The woods are mostly birch and aspen and have grown skyward 70 feet or more. The trees shelter and house a multitude of bird life and normally I don’t pay them much attention, but on the rare occasion when the sun has come out this summer the trunks of these trees reflect the most amazing colors. I have tried to capture those colors along with a bit of our lake in this painting that I call "The Birches". Oil 6" x 8".
