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.

Marshland

Here is another water scene. This one is done in pastel. I started this painting for a bird art show. My intention was to place some ducks in the painting, however, when I added a duck in the foreground it just took away the calming serenity of the scene. I took the bird out and decided I liked the painting a lot better without the birds. I ended up painting a Chickadee in oil for the art show and I promise to post that one at a later date. Pastel 11" x 14".
