For over twenty years I have painted the pastoral landscapes that surround my home, a cattle farm in Virginia. My passion for color and love of animals has culminated in paintings that combine the gentle beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains with images of my cows and farmland. I often dramatize the social dynamics of the herd within this peaceful environment by using strong diagonals and intensified colors, particularly red and yellow tones. In several landscapes, the cows in my paintings stare out of the canvas inquisitively and engage the viewer in an emotional relationship with the natural world.

“That magical time of day, usually sunrise or sunset when the colors are saturated and everything has a glow is when I like to capture my impressionist paintings. Whether I'm painting on location or in my studio I'm always painting the light. Reflections in water, children at play or the sun coming up behind the mountains are all favorites which also continue to challenge me. I'm a happy painter who is most humbled when people are moved by my work”. Victoria Brooks After a successful career as an art director in television and motion pictures, she pursued her love of painting, which she has been doing for 20 years. In addition to being a talented studio artist, she is an accomplished plein air painter as well. She has won numerous “Best of Show” awards for her studio and plein air works. Victoria loves teaching oil and watercolor painting and is a favorite of art clubs for her informative art demonstrations. She teaches plein air painting workshops in California , Italy , France , Ireland and Greece . |

Many painters paint what they see. Callaway most frequently paints that which he would like to see. His imaginary subjects, portrayed in dynamic compositions characterized by bold unctuous brushstrokes and strong color harmonies and light and dark shadow contrasts, invite the viewer to share in tranquil relaxation. |

Richela Chapman "A painting is like a symphony of colors captured-- waiting in time for a viewer's participation to release it's melody into the universe." Richela's landscapes and innerscapes depict feelings she intends to convey to the viewer. She enjoys expressing light, sound and mood through color in composistion. Unusual design decisions and interpretations of scenes and visions make her work unique. |

Being an Advocate of "Plein Air" painting and working from life for my florals and still life, I feel that the objective of the artist is not merely to record. Fine Art does much more than that. People like to see the spirit of the artist in their work. I strive to bring the beauty of nature into the home for the viewer to enjoy and reflect upon.Founder and Signature Member |

All sense of time is suspended for me while I am painting. My paintings often reflect the soft tranquility that I feel while I paint. I am fascinated by the challenges that nature presents with its ever changing light and moods. My heart fills with joy when I come close to expressing with paint what I feel and what I see.

A love of the beauty of the Southwest has been passed down in my family for many generations and I thank my parents and grandparents for sharing this love with me. As I paint the land, sky and waters of the Southwest, I do so hoping to share that beauty with you. If I am successful in my use of paint and color, then perhaps you will caatch a glimpse of what I see and feel. In a way, my paintings tell a story, perhaps you will find a story here as well. |

For Sawyer, painting "en plein air" is another way to touch the heart of Nature - Dodging insects and avoiding rattlesnakes in a quest for that fleeting amber moment when the mountain tops blush salmon and the oak glows from within - Weathering wind and haze and heat to capture the light on an elusive eucalyptus in a field of golden poppies - Standing ankle-deep in fresh powder while frozen fingers try to communicate the majesty of a High Sierra morning. Kat Sawyer will always stand in awe of Nature. With each brushstroke a mantra and each painting a sacred symbol, her works remind us of our eternal oneness with that great wild Spirit in us all. | ||
