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 Little "Su"


This painting was done in early May near the bridge that crosses the Little Susitna River on the road to Hatcher Pass. The snow had just melted and the greens were those that last only a short time before our Alaska daylight increases at breakneck speed and our greens rapidly get darker and bluer, the colors of full on summer. The river was beautiful that day and painting beside it was very relaxing as the water blotted out all other sounds. Oil 8" x 10"
