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.

Old Work Horse


What is it about old vehicles that make artists want to paint them? I always have a great time when I paint old trucks, cars and now this tractor. I’m not too sure what vintage this “oldie but goodie” is but I’m sure it goes back a ways. I photographed this tractor while heading for a hike near Zion National Park called the Eagles Crag. It’s a beautiful place to hike if you are looking for great vistas of Zion’s temples. To get there cross the Virgin River at Rockville and head toward Grafton but stay to the left and head up a very steep hill. High clearance vehicles are advised and don’t attempt the road if it has recently rained. I’m sure this "Old Work Horse" hasn’t moved in years and is waiting for you to take a photo of your own.
