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.

"School's Out - Summer of '61"


Summer in Alaska is flying by. Gardening, family and company has kept me very busy, however, I'm still finding time to do a little painting. I agreed to do a small oil painting to be used as a door prize at my high school reunion later this month. I'll be celebrating my graduation back in 1961 which makes this one the 5oth. Wow how did I get this old. I've painted a special painting for the door prize which I'm calling "School's Out - Summer of '61". While hiking one summer on Kodiak Island in Alaska I saw this old bus completely overgrown with "elder"berry bushes. It seems like a perfect subject for my high school reunion. 9" x 12" gallery wrap oil.
