Thinking Spring!
This is one that I started Plein Air on the patio last
year, then it poured! So I finished it in the studio this April.

Buds are appearing on the iris this spring! Watching
daily to see if they are ready to paint.
The snow storm this past weekend got one of them! Hope
the others will bloom.

This wonderful winter scene was painted at DeLaney Farm Historic District in Aurora Colorado.
I spent many happy hours painting there in all kinds
of weather.
This painting below was based on daylilies growing by
a wall of the John Gully Homestead House.

"Join
artist and meteorologist Phil "the Forecaster" Chadwick in a
perspective- changing look at the genius of Tom Thomson as an artist through
the weather and inspired him...."
If there ever was a year to study the art of Tom Thomson, this is it, a hundred
years after his passing. Canada lost a gifted artist way too soon. What might
he have produced?
A chance inquiry from a friend at Killbear Provincial
Park has grown into a tour of other Provincial Parks in late August... with
maybe more on the way. I like to make every trip away from the lake count. Each
presentation will be a bit different depending upon the interests of the group.
Here is what I know so far..
Killbear Provincial Park Tuesday August 29th 8 pm
Algonquin Wednesday August 30th, 8 pm
Arrowhead Thursday August 31st, 8 pm
Bonnechere Friday September 1st, 8 pm
I will update this list and times...I arrive early and stay late to answer any
questions. I've even been known to talk about the weather...

Lorenzo
Chavez Clair de Lune Oil 11 x 14 $2550
April
17, 2017, (Parker, CO). NOTES FROM NATURE plays on the vital intersection
between art and music: visual images have inspired composures for centuries;
music, likewise, has stirred mood, emotion and drawn a deeper understanding of
sacred geometries in visual artists for as long as there has been music. Join
us for a unique experience that melds both art forms, elevating and connecting
the visual with the auditory, on May 5, when the Parker Symphony performs
selected works based on nature from Debussy to Mendelsohn
and Beethoven, and does so surrounded by the art of the Plein Air Painters of
America (PAPA). PAPA members exhibiting works are John Budicin,
John Cosby, Lorenzo Chavez, Louise DeMore, Andy Evansen, Gay Faulkenberry, West
Fraser, Gerald Fritzler, Joe McGurl,
Ned Mueller, Ralph Oberg, Joe Paquet, Jean Perry,
Brian Stewart, Kate Starling, George Strickland, Linda Tippetts,
Skip Whitcomb, and Dan Young. All paintings are for sale, proceeds go to
support the art programing at the PACE Center and the
Plein Air Painters of America.
Exhibition
runs May 3-June 14, opening reception is May 5, from 6:00 to 7:30PM, followed
by the Parker Symphony concert.
