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.

"Passing Storm" and "Cheyenne Man"



I'm finally settled again in Utah and back to blogging. I has taken a while to get back to doing art and I must admit the paintings I am posting today were done last year. I am donating them to Xetava Gardens Cafe here in Kayenta. They are doing a fund raiser auction to improve their kitchen and although this isn’t a non profit we are friends with the owner and want to see his restaurant succeed. The first painting is done in pastel and is called “Passing Storm” the second painting is an oil painted from an historic photo of a Cheyenne Indian man. I have joined the emerging artist studio in Kayenta called the Blue Raven you can connect to them at this link http://www.blueravenartstudio.com/ You can connect to Xetava Gardens Cafe at http://www.xetavagardenscafe.com/ It’s good to be back on the desert and in our home in Kayenta.

    I see why Passing Storm sold for the price. I love the colors. Congratultions in helping with the fundraiser. I'm sure the owner of the restaurant is happy about it too.
