This series of garden paintings focuses on backlit figures surrounded by horizontal and vertical planes arranged to catch the light. The halo of light around a backlit figure’s edge becomes my center of interest and in these pieces I have juxtaposed the organic and often curving lines of the woman with the flat planes or straight sides of tables and chairs. All of these scenes were set in my garden and on the balcony of my studio.

Brad was born in Abilene, Texas in 1951 and lived there until he was 13. His maternal grandmother, Maybell Hutchins was a primitive Texas painter and ceramist, and he spent a major portion of his childhood painting and working with her. By the time he was in his early teens, his family had permanently relocated to the ranch they owned near the small Texas town of Hico, where he had already spent much of his childhood.

Caroline Korbell Carrington   more info 

"My Concern as an artist is to discover a personal vision through nature. The landscapes I paint are new and old places I have traveled that have a magical, sacred quality. The rugged beauty of the South West has captured my heart and senses like no other place. I feel that by painting the landscape I celebrate its awe inspiring beauty."

Hello Cupcake
Watercolor, 22x30 inches

 
Ken Elliott    more info  

“Typically, I’m trying to use brighter colors than are found in nature, but still seem believable to me. I am also balancing different elements in my work to make a more interesting scene.  Whistler said, ‘I’m improving on nature.’  That is very close to what goes on when I am working.  It is very much a chess game.  There is a lot of deliberating, chance-taking and moving pieces around.”

 


 


Into the Woods, Monotype
Rene Andrew Esparza    more info 

He vividly remembers a class trip to the San Antonio Museum of Art in 1988.  Two classmates were viewing a John Singer Sargent painting and whispered to each other how there was no way they could paint something like that.  He remembers coming up to the painting after them and thought to himself that he thought he could, even though he had not picked up a paint brush since his paint-by-numbers days.  He knows now that after all the years of clues and hints that he did not have to go looking to become a painter, it would always come looking for him.

“I have always been drawn to nature - it is my livelihood, my recreation, my comfort, my home. It is who I am and what I know best. I hope you enjoy my art and find a connection that is meaningful to you.”
 
 



Night Watcher

Malou Flato     more info  

"There are few Austin artists I admire more than Flato . . . . Flato overlaps pale smudges of color — like layered crepe paper — mirroring the play of light, the diaphanous quality of water and the thickness of greenery in western landscapes. Michael Barnes Austin American-Statesman."
 
 

Cherries
Watercolor

 
Charles Field    more info  

The immediacy of plein-air painting is exhilarating. I can see and feel the enormous sweep of nature with all elements in motion. In the studio, my approach is as direct as when I am working in the field. I have painted on the remote coasts of Ireland, Nova Scotia, the Pacific Northwest, as well as Tuscany, New Mexico, the Texas Hill Country and Gulf Coast. Many of my paintings might be called " skyscapes", as the infinite space and illumination of the sky are key to my compositions. I love to move paint and color in response to the challenge of natural form, space and light.


 
 

Painting 8
 
Pauline Howard    more info  

"...learning, changing, exploring, absorbing, (still). Redefining form, color, and light, (over and over again)...and then again there is the interest in nature, and the nature of people, that draws me to put pastel to paper, paint to canvas."

 
 

"On the Edge of Thunderbird Hill"  Watercolor/Gouache, 6 x 7 1/2
 
Kraig Kiedrowski     more info  

"I can divide my current landscapes into roughly two groups, the vistas and my “little building paintings” or “suburban scenes”. The vistas are about space and atmosphere. The suburban scenes are about intimacy and the beauty in the familiar.

An artist’s job is to convey a sense of the world that is unique and at the same time universal. If I can speak to that through an evening sky over a flooded field or sunlight on a paint peeled garage door I feel I have succeeded."

 


 


The Road to Alpine
Oil on linen, 26x40
J. Mark Kohler    more info 

Mark has spent the last 13 years traveling the American West from Texas to California and from Arizona to Montana. "Everywhere I've traveled, I've had the good fortune to meet hard-working, decent men and women who are following a life-style that is, at the same time, both noble and disappearing. It's my privilege to chronicle their struggle to keep the tradition of the West alive."
 
 

"Mundito"
Watercolor on paper
 
Janet Eager Krueger    more info 

"I like to think of myself as an interpreter between two cultures: a representative of a remnant society that still exists within the larger urban clamor of the American scene. Lately my work has taken a turn for the literary. Suddenly, every thing I see seems to have a certain mythological resonance. I believe it is an appropriate way to take a new look at the old myth that is Texas ranch life."


 
 

"Cows and Calves"
oil on poly, 54x48 inches
 
Linda Morgan    more info  

"A moment in nature is my usual inspiration for a painting. Everything in nature is in a constant state of change. Whether the variations are dramatic or subtle, there are evolutions every year, every day - every moment. I can't capture all of them, but hopefully, at the end of the day, a few of them will become pieces of art and will be memorable in some small way."
 
 

"Into the Woods"
Acrylic on canvas 36x48
 
Doug Sweet    more info  


This work represents a visual interpretation of the effects of light on a variety of subject matter.  Experimentation with the direction applied on these subjects has created an avenue of expression which explores the aesthetic relationship between painting, music and poetry.
