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.

Rampart of Stone


I learned this morning that I received a second place award for my pastel painting Rampart of Stone in a local art show. I completed this painting for a show at the St. George Art Museum called Visions of Zion. The show was judged by a local well known artist and it always makes an artist feel good to have their work judged to be worthy of an award by another artist. The painting depicts the Great White Throne, which is possibly the best known land mark in Zion National Park. Zion and is one of my favorite places to paint, draw and take photographs. We live only 45 minutes from the park entrance so it makes it easy to access the park at all times of the year. If you visit us Zion will most likely be the place we want to show you. Thanks for viewing my artist blog and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. 9 x 12 pastel

    Spoke to Victoria yesterday morning and she wants your blog so she can look at your art. I thought I'd let you do that. Again, fantastic work and congratulations on your award.
