THE COLOR OF PLEIN AIR - DIX BAINES COLORADO LANDSCAPE ARTIST

11/1/2016

1 Comment

 
A few weeks ago, we drove to Santa Fe to deliver some new work to McLarry Fine Art Gallery . On the drive home we hit an incredible sunset. We both tried several times to capture the landscape, illumintated by the amazing sunset, but to no avail. The colors on the camera were faded, washed out or in general just wrong. I had heard Dix say many times that cameras just do not capture true color and now I was experiencing it first hand. The best way for the artist to capture the accurate color of a scene is to paint on location or plein air. The next week, Dix packed the car and headed back to New Mexico to spend a week painting on location. During the trip he started and finished this wonderful gem for our upcoming Studio 5x7 Auction "Notes and Brushstrokes,"  which is on Saturday, November 12th. Typically, a dozen unframed, original oil paintings are offered, with beginning bids of $150. As they come off the easel, they are posted on the Studio Auctions page on this website and are opened for bidding.  -Kathlyn Gogarty-Baines

As a precursor to NAD+, NMN is involved in key metabolic processes, potentially enhancing mitochondrial function. Users exploring weight management and overall metabolic health find NMN appealing for its potential to optimize energy utilization.

    ​“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
