I work on several paintings at once using one large palette.I rotate the canvases on the easel as they dry and as my inspiration and patience changes on each day.Even though i paint every single day I take a long time on each, my average painting is 3x3 feet and takes a month of daily painting and i mean every day.

Ever Changing Studio . Painter Amy Evans

“My studio has changed according to where I live. One constant is that I have a portable one for occasions when I am in the outdoors. My outdoor studio is the one I frequent the most since I love painting the landscape. I use my indoor studio for large paintings as well as studio paintings derived from my references.” Amy Evans

From Life to Clay . Sculptor Lori Kiplinger Pandy

“People and the stories of their lives fascinate me and that is why I sculpt the human figure. Learning about a person’s accomplishments and how they have dealt with adversity matters. I can benefit from their choices and wisdom, celebrate their achievements and believe that others can too.” Lori

Treasured history and stories make up all of the paintings in Laurie Pace’s studio. This is the story behind all the horses used in the old TV series, The Lone Ranger.

My Happy Place . Painter Kathy Soliday

This painting was from a photo opportunity I had to visit a longhorn ranch at feed time.  These amazing creatures with their longhorns know exactly how to move without hitting those enormous horns.  For being huge animals they move like dancers but their eyes were mainly on the food pellets.
