The hour a day of painting became two, than three, than more and the more Dix Baines painted, the more he wanted to paint, and the more he wanted to paint everything in view. He did not want to paint the same thing over and over or in other words, as he put it, "...did not want to paint girls in pink dresses" for the rest of his life. As he practiced the skill of painting, he began to define exactly what he was about and stated it in his artist statement:
"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
He began reaching beyond the banks of the river and painting the views surrounding the river. He began exploring another of his passions, architecture, as he captured the beauty of the southwestern churches and barns he found along the way in his travels. The images became endless, as anything before him became fair game for a painting. And what about where it all began, the fishing images? They, like fly-fishing would always be a passion and continue to be part of his repetoire of paintings celebrating the life and beauty of this world.
