For the artist it is important to be able to see the sites, eat the food, smell the smells, and in general be part of a view before being able to put it on the canvas. Eight years ago, in the darkness of the recession, we were not able to travel anywhere due to a dwindling income and so we created a place for Dix Baines to go and create. With three ponds at Dix Baines Studio, the biggest being Sky Pond, there are always an abundance of views. With the beginning of every season there is a hope of what is to come and with the end of every season there is a beauty to enjoy. Here are a few views from Sky Pond at Dix Baines Studio. ENJOY! -Kathlyn Gogarty-Baines Fall color at Sky Pond at Dix Baines Studio 2016

Dix Baines“I am drawn to the things which speak to the senses; the light and atmosphere of landscapes, the impressions of a moment or place, and the spirit of nature and of people. It is important to me to strive as an artist to paint a variety of subjects and to paint each equally well. I paint often on location, or from life. Whether researching sporting life images, landscapes, or places from abroad, painting directly from the subject is essential to capturing the impression of what I see.” -DIX BAINES Archives
