Send us a Text Message.Gary and Julie spoke to Ross over zoom not long after his exhibition, 'Moonlight -Daylight', at King Street on William gallery in Sydney. Ross Laurie is represented by King Street on William Gallery, Sydney.'Laurie has won the inaugural Norville Prize for Landscape Painting, the COFA Print Award at the Paddington Art Prize and the Kings School Art Prize. He has also been selected as a finalist in the Dobell Drawing Biennial and the Wynne Prize, both at the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney. Notably, Laurie's work has been selected for the Salon des Refuses ten times between 1995 and 2019.The artist's work can be found in numerous state and corporate collections such as Artbank, AGNSW, National Gallery of Australia, New England Regional Art Museum, Tamworth Regional Gallery, the Laverty Collection Sydney, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Macquarie Bank Collection and NRMA Sydney.Ross Laurie's 2020 solo exhibition at King Street Gallery ‘engaged the drought and it did so deeply. Many of the paintings in “Dry at Walcha” were suffused with the glow of pink light. But it was the arid stain of ash rather than nostalgia or eros that made these works glower' (Anna Johnson, 2022). Lauries last major body of work and solo exhibition ‘After Storms And Rain' 2022 ‘found a harder, brighter palette but also bolder geometric forms' (Anna Johnson, 2022).“It might be accurate to say that my work echoes the structure of the land. The verticals in tree forms. Multiple horizons. Forms and shapes embedded from childhood memories. I don't draw in order to paint. If I do draw I'm after a way to help me see. There is no scaffolding.” (Ross Laurie, 2022)Ross Laurie joined King Street Gallery in 2014. He lives and works on his family farm, Rams Gully, in Walcha NSW.'

Jesus Christ left heaven to enter this sin-cursed world as a human being to open the doorway back into the presence of God. - SERMON TRANSCRIPT - This fall I was visiting my family, the part of my family that lives up in Boston and my daughter Carolyn, and I went to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. In one of the galleries there we saw a painting that just arrested me and seized my imagination and caused me to ponder for a long time. The painting was entitled, Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, and it was painted by Thomas Cole. It's a dramatic scene, of course, depicting the most tragic event in human history. Adam and Eve's sin in the Garden of Eden leading to God's curse on them and on the world and the judicial sentence of death descending on them. God then righteously expelled them from the Garden of Eden and put a guardian cherub with a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way into the Garden lest any of them or their descendants should eat from the Tree of lLife. Thomas Cole, who painted that painting was an ardent evangelical Christian who lived in the first third of the 19th century, and he painted this masterpiece in the year 1828. Cole was a founder of the Hudson River School of Landscape Painting. He dearly loved the pristine beauty of nature all over the world, but especially in his home area of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. Cole's painting of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden is basically divided in half. The right half of the painting is the beautiful Garden of Eden with clear blue skies, fair weather, clouds, stunningly beautiful snow cap, mountains in the distance and alluring lake in the valley between the mountains, lush greenery, abundant with colorful flowers in the foreground, paradise lost. The left half of the painting is bleak with dark colors of volcano erupting lava in the distance, flashes of lightning coming from the ominous storm clouds, a straggly apparently dead tree dominating the foreground with apparently dead animals at the foot of that tree. Adam and Eve themselves are tiny, barely noticeable as they hurry from the Garden of Eden into the dark dying world that their sin destroyed. They hurry into that cursed world across a stone bridge that spans a deep chasm shrouded in darkness. The waters of a flood seem to be hurdling down the chasm toward them. Between the brilliantly light right side of the painting and the dark left side is a passageway, like a doorway made of stone, like the entrance it seems to a cave. In the center of that doorway, brilliant light emanates with overpowering rays. Those rays perhaps represent the glory of God chasing the two sinners from paradise, or perhaps the flaming sword in the hands of the guardian cherub ready to kill them if they should try to double back. It is of the expulsion from the presence of God and of this brilliantly lit passageway back into the presence of God that I want to speak tonight. It was in order to open this doorway back into the presence of God that Jesus Christ left heaven and entered this sin curse world as a human being. My texts tonight are Ephesians 2:13 and Hebrews 10:19-22. Hear them again, Ephesians 2:13 says, "But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ." And again, Hebrews 10:19-22, "Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the most Holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain that is his body. And since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our heart sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.” I. Expelled From Eden First expelled from Eden, Adam and Eve were created perfect by God in the image of God and placed in that perfect world in which everything had been declared very good by God. Adam was formed first from the dust of the earth and put in the Garden of Eden to serve and protect it. Adam was clearly commanded by God, you are free to eat from any tree in the garden, but you must not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil for when you eat of it, you'll surely die. This freedom to eat from any tree in Eden was evidence of the lavish generosity and love of God. The fruit was varied, it was delicious, it was nourishing. The prohibition to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was evidence of the holiness of God and his absolute sovereignty, his right to put limits and boundaries to our freedoms. It is also more evidence of his love because He knew perfectly well what unleashing evil into the history of the world would do. Tragically, we all have an increasing sense of what happened. Eve was deceived by the serpent and was lured to eat from the forbidden fruit. She gave some to her silent and passive husband who was with her and who utterly failed to protect his wife, his unborn children, and the Garden of Eden, indeed the entire world from the devastating effects of the serpents lies. They both ate. Their eyes were open to their nakedness, they were stripped of the glory that they had been given by God and they began to hide from each other and from God. God confronted Adam and condemned him for his sin. They both came under instant spiritual death and would live the rest of their lives under a temporarily deferred but absolutely certain death penalty. As Thomas Cole depicted, the whole world fell into the dark curse of decay and death because of Adam's sin. Adam and Eve were expelled from the presence of God as Genesis 3, tells us. The Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After He drove the man out, He placed on the east side of the garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the Tree of Life. II. Distant From God The infinite loss that day was to be driven not only from the beautiful Garden of Eden, but from the glorious presence of a loving and Holy God, distant from God. The Bible reveals that all of us are naturally distant from God because of our sin. Psalm 138:6 says, "Though the Lord is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar." From afar. Also, Proverbs 15:29 says, “The Lord is far from the wicked.” This is relational language because we know the Bible teaches that God is omnipresent." It says in Acts 17, He is not far from each one of us, "For in him we live and move and have our being." But the Holy God is infinitely far from wickedness and evil corruption and sin from darkness itself. Habakkuk 1:13 says, "Your eyes are too pure to look on evil. You cannot tolerate wrong." Our text in Ephesians speaks of the immeasurable distance between us as unconverted people and this Holy God. Ephesians 2 says, "Remember that at that time you separate from Christ excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise without hope and without God in the world." And it says in the next verse, "You who were once far away." A picture of this distance between a Holy God and a sinful people was established in the Tabernacle and then later the Temple of the Old Covenant. The lessons of the Old Covenant may be summed up in the first command that God gave to Moses at the burning bush. In Exodus 3:5 God said to him, "Do not come any closer. Do not come any closer." Then he said, "Take off your sandals for the place where you're standing is Holy ground." Again and again, the Holy God has been saying to sinful humanity, “do not come any closer.” Before He descended in fire on Mount Sinai, the Lord commanded Moses to erect a barrier, a fence line around the base of the Holy mountain so that no one could ascend that mountain because God would have to kill them. The Tabernacle represented God's desire to dwell in the midst of a sinful people, but it was made of curtains that represented barriers between a Holy God and a sinful people. We are not welcome, “this far you may come and no farther.” So as sinners, we were distant from God. "The Tabernacle represented God's desire to dwell in the midst of a sinful people, but it was made of curtains that represented barriers between a Holy God and a sinful people. We are not welcome, “this far you may come and no farther.” So as sinners, we were distant from God." III. Christ Has Drawn Near To Us Third, Christ has drawn near to us. Christ has drawn near to us. In the incarnation of Jesus Christ, this Holy God has drawn near to us. “Emanuel,” which we sang about this morning and again tonight means “God with us.” God gave his only-begotten Son a body with blood so that a doorway could be open into his presence by means of that body and that blood. The incarnation means “the Word became flesh” with a literal human body. But why? What was the reason? The reason was to bring sinners near to a Holy God by the blood and by the body of Jesus. Listen again to Ephesians 2:13, "But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ." Again, Hebrews 10, "Therefore brothers, since we have confidence to enter the most Holy place by the blood of Jesus by a new and living way open for us through the curtain that is his body. And since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and full assurance of faith, having our heart sprinkled to cleanse us from the guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water." The incarnation means that God, the Son, took on a body with blood so that the death penalty we deserve for our sins could be paid in full. By the baby, wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in the manger, we are brought near to a Holy God. IV. Christ Has Brought Us Near To God Christ, fourthly, has brought us near, so therefore, let us draw near. By faith in Christ we who were on the outside excluded, exiled, banished, cast out, evicted from the paradise of God's glorious presence by faith in the blood of Christ shed on the cross, we have been brought near. That is exactly what Ephesians 2:13 tells us. If you have trusted in Christ, you have been brought near positionally and for all eternity to God, one with Christ by faith in Christ, by faith. Speaking of nearness to God, Ephesians 2:13 tells us we have been brought near once for all into the presence of God, into the Holy of Holies, into the throne room of God, into a reconciled relationship with God. "By faith in Christ we who were on the outside excluded, exiled, banished, cast out, evicted from the paradise of God's glorious presence by faith in the blood of Christ shed on the cross, we have been brought near." But Hebrews 10, exhorts “Let us draw near to God.” So the one is positional and can never change. The other is experiential, relational by faith in Christ, drawing near to God in relational closeness, in a sense of intimacy with a loving God. So draw near brothers and sisters, let us draw near by faith. Let us have our bodies washed with the pure water of the Word. Let us have our hearts sprinkled from a guilty conscience. Sense that you are dearly loved. Draw near, draw near to a Holy God, draw near by Jesus's work, draw near by immersing your mind in Scripture as it testifies to Jesus. Draw near by prayer, confessing your sins with confidence of a perfect cleansing. Draw near by repentance and by the power of a changed life through the Holy Spirit. Draw near, the author to Hebrews tells us in full assurance of faith that God dearly loves you. He cannot love you more and will never love you less. Draw near now through the ordinance of the Lord's Supper, recognizing by faith, the body and the blood of Christ in these elements, symbolically, yes, but by faith recognizing that the incarnation came so that we who are far away might draw near. Close with me, this time of meditation in the Word with prayer, and then we'll turn to the Lord's Supper. Father, we thank you for the amazing truths of the Word of God. We can never plumb their deaths. We can never fully understand these themes. We can never fully understand what it meant to be expelled, to be exiled, to be aliens, to be distant from you and to fully understand in this world what it means now in Christ to be brought in here. Help us to understand these things by faith in your Word. And now as we have the opportunity to partake in the Lord's Supper, bless this time. In Jesus' name, Amen. We're going to partake in the Lord's Supper. We have an unusual way on Christmas Eve of celebrating it. These tables just set up and whereas ordinarily at the Lord's Supper, we send deacons out with the elements and pass them through the pews and you stay where you are. On Christmas Eve we invite you to draw near and to stand around the tables. And so what we do is we just have people come and stand and as the table is reasonably full, then we serve those people and then those folks go and sit down and the next group comes up. We would ask that only people who have testified, who have come to personal faith in Christ and testified to that by baptism, partake. If not, we ask that you refrain. But this is a time for us to enjoy the Lord's Supper. And so I'm going to read the words of institution and then we will celebrate in groups around the tables. Hear now what the Lord said, "For I receive from the Lord what I also passed on to you." The Lord Jesus on the night he was betrayed, took bread. And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you, do this in remembrance of me." In the same way after supper, he took the cup saying, "This is the cup. This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this whenever you drink it in remembrance of me. For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." Now, let us pray. Father, we thank you now for the opportunity that we have to draw near through the body and blood of Christ and to partake by faith in this symbolism of your life, of your death, and also of your resurrection. We pray that you'd bless it now and add the blessing by the power of the Spirit through faith in the Word. In Jesus' name, Amen.

I had oil painter Summer Spitsbergen on my podcast today. She is a young and upcoming artist that I happened to have met last summer at the C.M. Russell Museum. They have their big show every third week of August (which you should all go to). It's a great show and while I was up there I fell in love with her work.Summer is a self-taught artist, hyper-focused on what she wants to achieve with her painting. When you're doing that as an artist and you have great talent, you can go very, very far. She's a real cowgirl too, living on a ranch with her husband raising Wagyu cattle as well as chickens. Summer does all of this while raising her three kids and somehow finding the time to paint every single day.We talk about what it takes to succeed with such a full life. You know, what's that magic serum that allows you to break free and be creative while successfully making it your profession? I think there's a lot to be learned from this podcast, especially if you're a younger artist and you're trying to figure it out. Well, she definitely figured it out.

Peter Nesbit came by today and we actually recorded on a Sunday (something I never do). I did that because I really wanted him on this podcast and sometimes you have to work around a person's schedule to capture important stories from important people. Anyway, Peter was in Tucson and I thought: "God, I got to have Pete on my podcast." Peter is just a really interesting individual. I've known him for 30 years, but you don't know somebody until you sit down and have an intimate talk about how they got through life accomplishing all the things they've accomplished.This podcast was uniquely Pete Nesbit. From his time in the Navy on a ship that was involved in a major ship-to-ship collision during Vietnam and how this moment affected how he sees things, to just his whole world view and how he wants to be remembered as a painter.It's clear that he puts that personal history and his place in the broader history of the world on a very high pedestal regarding what he does and why he does it, which is really trying to make an impact in every painting that he does. I think you'll find it very unique. I know I did.  I was really happy to have him on and I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Art Dealer Diaries episode 195 with Pete Nesbit.

Jan-Ove Tuv, Sebastian Salvo & Alastair Blain sit down to talk about the 19th century landscape painter Lars Hertervig and the mythic potential of the landscape. Topics discussed in this episode: • Hertervig's dreamlike vision vs Constable's recreation of soil • Painting despite lack of social advantages • Was Hertervig "insane" or highly intelligent? • Rejuvenation in timeless images • Hertervig's clouds: pure fantasy, or did he actually look at nature? • Myths describe reality way more accurately • The advantages of painting landscapes in the studio • Plein-air plus eighty five percent black • Combining realism and symbols, empiricism and poetry • Elements in the story that are too personal get cut away • The subject has to strike you first, then it can become archetypal • When your unconscious gets pretentious… • Neurotic myth deniers • Your love or interest for it makes it archetypal ▶ Full video: https://www.patreon.com/caveofapelles

Episode 12: Where is the Land in Landscape?   “Where is the Land in Landscape?” investigates the histories of landscape painting in the canon of Western Art and assesses a few contemporary works of art that counter European modes of thinking about land, territory, nature and the environment. In the first part of the episode we cover historical painters working in Dutch, French, British and American landscape traditions. In the second part we at contemporary art including Cherokee artist Kay WalkingStick's paintings of place and space, the protest performance art piece Mirror Shield Project: Water Serpent Action at the Oceti Sakowin initiated by Cannupa Hanska Luger and Rory Wakemup, and Rebecca Belmore's Ayum-ee-aawach Oomama-mowan: Speaking to Their Mother.   Sources + further reading: Adams, Ann Jensen. “Competing Communities in the ‘Great Bog of Europe': Identity and Seventeenth-Century Dutch Landscape Painting.” In Mitchell (see below).

I had artist Mark Bowles on the podcast today via zoom. One interesting component of doing this podcast is that I never really know what I'm going to learn about my guests. That's one of the reasons I like doing them so much. You know, the discovery aspect of it all. In this episode, Mark and I went down some of the deeper, darker holes of life. Things like how the way a parent treats you can effect your life tremendously. In this case, we learn that Mark had a very tough father.Sometimes it's hard  to go there (especially publicly) and sometimes you don't want to share those kinds of things, but when you do, it really gives those who know you perspective. They get a sense of what makes you who you are as a person and when you're an artist, it shows people how those experiences inform your creativity.And so Mark was really straightforward in sharing these details of his life. What he's had to overcome while maintaining such a unique and successful painting career. He's a really great artist and I've always loved his stuff which is evident in the fact I've represented him for almost 20 years.Enjoy. Mark Bowles on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 174.

View Bill Anton's newest painting "Stirrup Deep" here:https://www.medicinemangallery.com/bill-anton-stirrup-deep-plv1341.htmlNow, I've done a long-format podcast with Bill, but you know, he brought this painting in that we just got for the gallery and it's such a fantastic painting. It's one of those really inspirational works that when you stare at it long enough it just grabs you and pulls you in and boy did this painting grab me. So I thought, you know, let's just go do a podcast and see what happens. Talk about the painting, talk about what's going on in Bill's life, stuff like that.  Surprise, surprise - It turned into a wonderful conversation. We spoke about all different types of artists, from Maynard Dixon to Jim Reynolds to Matt Smith to Josh Elliott.This is more technical in some respects because we really talk about composition and how somebody goes about turning a study into a fully formed painting, which is what Bill did with the painting that brought him to the gallery in the first place.He's such an animated individual and loves what he does. I would encourage you to watch this one on YouTube if you can because just watching his body language, how he gets excited about what he does, and why he does it, in turn, makes you excited. 

I had Glenn Dean on the podcast today. He came to my gallery in Tucson to film this podcast and was a fun podcast.  You know, the zoom podcasts are great and they make being able to see and talk to people from a variety of fields much easier, but I must admit - sitting next to somebody and having a meaningful intimate conversation is a whole different ball game, and we did just that. You see, Glenn is a private person, and recording a podcast is probably not a thing that he's most comfortable with. That being said, the result was wonderful. It was just a great talk and very genuine, and it seemed like he was having a good time too.Glenn has had a very interesting life. He's self-taught and I've always felt he's one of the most gifted artists that I represent, especially his ability to capture landscapes. Nowadays Glenn is doing more figurative work and it's a step above so many of his contemporaries. The guy just knows how to lay paint down.It was a great experience getting to learn where his passion originated, he was a boogieboarder (a really good one) and was competing professionally. That could have been his career, but as I'm sure you've figured out by now, he chose a different route.So for all those who've been waiting to hear Glenn talk about how he got where he is today OR if you're an aspiring artist, this is the podcast for you.View available painting from the show here:https://www.medicinemangallery.com/medicine-man-gallery-antique-native-american-western-art-collections/glenn-dean-new-worksSo enjoy. Glenn Dean.

Ed Mell came by the studio today and I was thrilled to be able to record a 2-part podcast with him. Honestly, I've been trying to get Ed on the podcast for three whole years. I've had so many people on Art Dealer Diaries talk about Ed Mell in their own podcasts... I think it's probably up to about a dozen people now. It's just one of those things, you know? It's hard to get together sometimes especially when a pandemic gets in the way. Out of all the podcasts I've done recently, Ed's was a podcast I really wanted to do in person. I've known him for 25+ years and for me just being able to sit across the desk from him and have a wonderful discussion about his life, all of his accomplishments, the people that have influenced him throughout his life and made him who he is and what he is, was a gift for me. He's just such an interesting guy, definitely not the type of person that you get to meet every day.  Ed's artwork is really important to me and to many, many other people as well. I collect his artwork and have since I've represented him. I personally own numerous Ed Mell works of art including his oil paintings, bronze sculptures, lithographs, and display them in my home. In the second part (Epi. 153), we go into a bit more detail about the people that influenced him and the types of things he's doing these days. From sculpture to flowers, to figurative works, this is one that everyone needs to listen to. Put it on your hit parade, Ed Mell on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 153.

In this episode, host and K Contemporary gallery owner Doug Kacena explores the leading edge of landscape painting with Don Stinson and Gregory Euclide, two artists whose works ask the viewer to consider the physical, cultural, and political ways we humans see, relate to, and interact with the lands we inhabit. The three artists discuss the role of landscape in contemporary art and their unique perspectives on capturing the sometimes ugly truths of our surroundings.

************************************************************At the time of recording, Bill Anton was slated to have an exhibition at the Desert Caballeros Museum in Wickenburg, AZ. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the exhibition has been postponed until December 2021.************************************************************I've probably said this on more than one occasion, that this is a podcast you absolutely have to listen to, but I'm going to say it again. BILL ANTON IS A PODCAST YOU MUST LISTEN TO. This is especially true for artists because he lays out the road map of what it's gonna take if you want to succeed. It's not an easy road, but if you have the passion and the confidence to follow what Bill has done you will have a good life and succeed. This is a man who is extremely passionate about what he does. I'm a fan of his work and I think he has a skill set that very few have achieved. He is a wonderful landscape painter and his horses are amazing. If you want to get motivated and you think you're going to be an artist, listen to Bill Anton. He gives some very strong advice about what you need to do to succeed and if you follow his words of wisdom you'll end up on the right flight path.

The Art of Landscape Painting - Sir Alfred Edward East - Book 20 Title: The Art of Landscape Painting in Oil Colour Overview: Sketching from Nature, Equipment, Colour, Composition, Trees, Skies, Grass, Reflections, Distance -- chapters rich with timeless oil painting advice by a master landscape artist, Sir Alfred East. East had an exceptional ability to capture the individuality of trees, the quiver of their leaves against the sky. “If we look at a photograph, the edges of the trees do not give you the feeling that the tree is a living thing, they are marked with hard precision against the light, like a solid building, and yet at the same time if we see them in Nature we hear the whisper of their leaves and know that they live and breathe. To express that is a greater truth than the camera can reveal, and a higher form of realism.” East served as president of the Royal Society of British Artists from 1906 to 1913.

Meet beautiful steam trains, traverse ancient orchards and find out how a dragon – or alligator – found its way to an East Anglian village! We’ll hear about local life and legend in the landscape that inspired one of England’s most influential painters. It’s all to be discovered along Greater Anglia’s Gainsborough Line. The Gainsborough Line may be the shortest line in our series, but its history is long! We begin our adventure crossing a magnificent viaduct – and one of the largest brick-build structures in England. Just minutes outside Marks Tey at Chappel and Wakes Colne lies the East Anglian Railway Museum. Engineer and fix-it fan Peter gives us an incredible insight into the work he and his colleagues do to restore and revive the majestic history of rail travel and trade. With engines dating from the birth of steam to our recent past we hear how experts are getting hands on with the nuts and bolts of rail and giving us a fun family day out in the process! We stop off at Bures where the River Stour forms the boundary of Essex and Suffolk. Gill is a local parish councillor and guides us from the beautiful station garden in full bloom, through this picturesque and historic village. She shares its claim to the crowning of King Edmund – the last East Anglian King – as well as a bizarre tale about a dragon, which you might still spot today! She also points out snapshots of Tudor architecture that tell of life here through the ages. Oh and do you know what Pickleball is? You heard it here first! The final stop on the Gainsborough Line is Sudbury and home to Gainsborough’s House. This museum is currently being redeveloped to include a major arts hub and was the birthplace and home of this English Landscape Master. We speak to Museum Director Mark and find out about the life and local inspirations of the painter before taking a watery and wonderful walk in the sunshine. Lives on the Lines is created on behalf of the Community Rail Partnerships with Greater Anglia. Presented and produced by Katharine Kerr for Fresh Air Production.

In this episode, hear from Eric Jensen, an MFA student studying painting. Jensen is a landscape painter with a passion for the natural world, an interest he cultivated while enjoying hobbies like mountaineering and rock climbing. A major theme in his work is accurately portraying the intersection between art and science. He hopes his work will encourage people to pay more attention to nature as a way to enrich their lives.

Kyle Buckland's bold paintings are deeply rooted in the philosophy and approach of the impressionists. As a teenager, his interest in art began to edge out the interests of most youth - skateboarding, team sports, or playing in a band. He became an art nerd in high school, using every available moment to devour the small selection of art books found in his school library. He didn’t just read books, though. He went outside and painted. And painted. And painted. That hard work paid off. Kyle has won many awards for his impressionistic paintings. His work is represented in hundreds of private, public, and corporate collections around the world. His paintings are filled with rich colors and luxurious brushwork. Surprisingly, some of his largest works are painted outdoors! Kyle captures the experience of painting outside on his inspirational YouTube channel he calls The Artful Souls. There you can watch him paint on canvases measuring up to 48 by 48 inches. Kyle now resides in a small nineteenth-century farmhouse/studio in Abingdon, Virginia, with his lovely wife, Jennifer. However, if you knock on his door, you likely won’t find him home. He’s probably painting either out back in his stand-alone studio or somewhere out in the beautiful Virginia countryside. One thing is for sure: wherever you find Kyle Buckland, whether he’s painting outdoors or in his studio, or teaching a class of eager students, you can be certain he is making a difference.

I had David Michaels on today. He is one of the more unique guests I've had quite frankly, an artist with a background probably like no other. David Michaels has produced and directed some of the largest sporting events for television. Think the Olympics, the Tour de France - he has like 14 Emmys so he's extremely gifted in that field and he's done documentaries as well. However, when you hear David's account of the path he took in life, you'll know as well as I did that this individual was always supposed to be an artist. He just took a different track and that happens to a lot of us in life, right? We think we're a doctor and then all of the sudden we're an art dealer. David lets us into his life and explains how this whole new world opened up for him and when it did and that it was an epiphany. It was an epiphany for him to do the Olympics in 1976 and it was an epiphany to start creating when his wife bought him watercolors to start painting for his 50th birthday. Anyone who's out there who thinks "I don't have what it takes" or "I want to do it but I can't, I just don't have the confidence" listen to this podcast and you'll get the confidence to go out there and get your brushes, get your paints and start painting. If you really have that drive you know what? You're going to succeed. Very fun podcast with a unique and interesting guy, David Michaels.

I had New Mexico landscape painter Bill Gallen on the podcast today. He's such an interesting guy and his heart and soul are poured into every painting he does. We get to hear his story about struggling to find a path in the art world. Bill had an encounter with an artist during an art fair, and after seeing this artist's painting that resonated with him to an immeasurable extent, and BOOM, everything changes. After nearly fifteen years as a contractor, Bill Gallen traded in his house painting brushes for an easel painter's tool.Life can be like that, especially with art. I've seen this over and over again and the lesson I've learned is that art in just about any capacity can change a person completely. It can make a doctor become an art dealer and lead a construction worker to become an artist and Bill details the later route in today's episode.For those out there who want to be an artist, art dealer, curator, etc. Just give this podcast a listen. It might provide a roadmap to a life filled with creation and beauty. A path that Bill Gallen and I both found and never looked back.View Bill Gallen's Available Paintings:https://www.medicinemangallery.com/western-fine-art/southwestern-contemporary-painters/gallen-bill

What a fun podcast I had with Jill Carver. Jill grew up in England and has been living in the Southwest since 2002. She had this circuitous road to becoming the well-respected painter she is today, beginning with her education in the UK and the thought of becoming a finance professional, getting a degree in history, to finally following her heart as an artist. Along the way, she gets a position at the National Portrait Gallery in London and works there for 12 years. Jill ends moving across the pond and now she's one of the foremost landscape painters of America. I'm very fortunate and proud to have her as one of my artists. This is a really great episode and I hope you enjoy this edition of the Art Dealer Diaries featuring Jill Carver.To see more of Jill Carver's artwork visit: https://www.medicinemangallery.com/western-fine-art/southwestern-contemporary-painters/carver-jill

This was a long time coming podcast as I finally got Ray Roberts to stop by the Medicine Man Gallery Studio to discusses his life and the painting world he orbits. Ray Roberts was the first contemporary artist I represented at Medicine Man Gallery (beginning in 1995 ), Ray is a wonderful teacher and well respected in his field for his teaching abilities. I refer to Ray Roberts in my gallery as a Painter's Painter as so many artists look up to Ray for inspiration and admire his painting technique. Ray reflects on his life as an artist and the obstacles he has had to overcome to pursue a career in the arts. This episode on the Art Dealer Diaries Podcast gives insight into the struggles required to becoming a professional artist detailing first-hand the obstacles and perseverance it takes to succeed to become one of the top Western artists painting today.

In this episode I talk about Caspar David Friedrich and his impact on landscape painting.

In this episode Eric interviews Jay Moore, who had a serious near-death experience while painting outdoors.

When was the last time you found yourself moved deep in the core of your being by a work of art or natural beauty? As an artist, you can appreciate the power that we have to draw on people’s perceptions and emotions. It was a pleasure to speak with the talented Nashville based landscape artist, Adam Hall. In our conversation, Adam was kind enough to open up about his connection to the ocean, how his time working in the music industry influenced his artwork, challenges he has faced along the way, and much more. You’ll want to pay close attention, Adam has some helpful insights and suggestions for fellow artists and parents.  Disaster and opportunity  Do you remember that moment when you realized that you needed to commit yourself to become an artist? Was it a decision to go to art school? Or did you find yourself slowly realizing that you needed to start drawing out your creative side? For Adam hall, the turning point in his career came when he went with his musician friends to volunteer for the Red Cross. In the wake of a massive tornado storm that impacted the Nashville area, Adam and his friends decided that they wanted to help the situation. In a twist of fate, Adam and his friends found themselves at the home of renowned Nashville artist, David Wright. Seizing on the opportunity, Adam peppered David with questions and sought his advice on how to move forward in his budding career as an artist.  Overwhelmed Fast-forward many years later, and you’ll find Adam thriving as a landscape artist in the Nashville area. Adam’s journey hasn’t always been an easy one; he has experienced his fair share of stress, creative struggles, and moments of overwhelm. Do you think that feeling overwhelmed could ever be a good thing? What if you could draw on the enormity and scale of an image or scene that was so powerful that it elicited an emotional response?  When Adam was faced with a particularly busy season of his life, he found himself going for an early run one morning. His mind was weighed down by the stress and frantic energy that seemed endless. Reaching the end of his run at the beach - Adam was moved to tears as the sun crested over the horizon. At that moment at the ocean, Adam experienced something that transcended all the chaos in his mind - it was almost like hitting the reset button. In Adam’s experience, feeling overwhelmed can lead to a positive outcome.  Navigating parenthood as an artist  I love to take the opportunity to explore the insights and lessons that my fellow artists have for their peers who also happen to be parents. Having explored this facet of life with many of my guests over the years, it never ceases to surprise me that while there are many similarities, everyone has their own unique take on parenting as an artist. For Adam and his wife, they found that their creative and professional lives thrived when they were able to plan and schedule their time effectively. Instead of a combative and haphazard approach to parenting - Adam and his wife were committed to carving time to their creative pursuits. What can you learn from Adam’s story? Outline of This Episode [0:55] I welcome my guest, Adam Hall.  [3:00] Adam talks about how he got his start as an artist.  [14:00] How has Adam’s approach to the canvas changed over the years?  [16:00] Artists who have influenced Adam.  [20:00] Adam talks about his connection to the ocean.  [26:45] How does Adam describe his style and artistic approach?  [31:20] Adam shares his routine and studio practices.  [35:00] How has Adam navigated life as a parent and an artist?  [40:00] Building relationships and networking.  [48:00] Refusing to take no for an answer.  [51:15] Adam talks about the challenges he has faced along the way.  Other artists mentioned on this episode Andrew Wyeth John Singer Sargent Gerhard Richter David Wright  Resources Mentioned on this episode Adam Hall's website robertlangestudios.com Connect With Antrese On Facebook On Pinterest On Instagram On Twitter

Christine Lashley is a contemporary impressionist painter whose works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, winning many First Place awards for both landscape and figurative work. One such award she received is the 2018 Best Light in the Landscape Award at Olmsted Plein Air Invitational based here in Atlanta. The co-founder of Olmsted Plein Air - Lillian Ansley - recently introduced me to Christine and invited me to attend one of her demonstrations. That experience led to Christine graciously taking the time to talk with me in this episode. Christine’s love of all things in nature is poetically expressed in her paintings. Plein air painting is an important part of her work. Collecting memories outdoors among nature including light, atmosphere, and geology, influence her work in the studio. The ideas she captures outdoors inspires the creating of stunning paintings that capture the beauty of a moment held in memory.

What does it look like to stay put and get to know a location inside and out? What insights and lessons can you learn from this helpful discipline? How does staying in one location impact your growth as an artist? It was my privilege to explore these questions and a lot more in my conversation with artist, William Kocher. We also touched on how William got his start as an artist, why it’s important to connect with a community of artists, what colors William enjoys using, why we need art as a society, and so much more. I know artists like you will enjoy learning from William’s interesting journey and unique perspective! Why it’s helpful to connect with a community of artists. Have you had the chance to connect with a community of artists? What value have you found in spending time with people who share your profession? In my personal experience, connecting either in person or online with a community of artists has helped me in countless ways! Artist William Kocher says that making similar connections with artists in the Cape Cod area had a huge positive impact on his growth and creativity. Whether you can find one and plug in right away or if you have to create one yourself, I highly encourage even the most introverted artists to take the risk to go out there find a group you can contribute to. Studying the landscape. Many artists love to be constantly on the go looking for new and exciting places, people, or objects to inspire their creativity. Does that sound like you or do you find yourself of the more stationary variety? It was refreshing to hear from an artist like William Kocher who seemed less interested in finding new locations to spark his creativity as he was more concerned with getting to know a particular place inside and out. For William, that place is his family's farm near Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Due to his relentless study of the farm, William knows which trees the birds perch in, how the sunlight falls at just the right time of day, and so many additional hidden secrets and gems revealed only to the most astute observer. How does William’s approach strike you? Why we need art. As our society continues to evolve there are some who question why we need art in schools, public spaces, and sometimes as a profession altogether. How do you respond to these questions? Are you able to engage or do you feel your blood pressure start to rise because you find it insane that people question the value of art? I love the way that William Kocher puts it, he says that “Art elevates life, it is a vital form of communication.” I completely agree! Especially in our society today, we must continue the work to emphasize the value and beauty that art brings to our culture in a myriad of ways. Art doesn’t have to be complicated to have value. Do you struggle with finding depth in your art? Are you ever intimidated by artists who have all these wonderfully complex and philosophical motivations and messages in their artwork? What if that’s just not you? Is that ok? The truth is, art doesn’t have to be complex to have value! I was thrilled to hear a similar message from William Kocher in our conversation. He encourages artists like you to avoid stressing out about the complexity of your artwork if that doesn’t “fit” your approach. Find your voice, tap into your creative energy and just make something beautiful! Outline of This Episode [1:45] I introduce my guest, William Kocher. [3:25] What led William to a career in art? [8:30] Why it’s so important to connect with an art community. [10:30] William talks about painting outdoors for the first time. [12:30] Enjoying the opportunity to get away to paint. [16:15] What colors does William use on a regular basis? [18:00] How does William start his paintings? [21:20] Choosing motifs and painting on the family farm. [26:15] What is William challenged by? What is William proud of? [30:00] You need a little arrogance to be an artist. [32:20] Why do we need art? [36:30] What is William’s dream project? Is there artwork William wouldn’t sell? [37:30] How Hans Hofmann’s work has impacted William. [40:15] Advice that William has for fellow artists. [42:00] Is a more complicated approach to painting necessary?

Von Guérard sailed into Milford Sound on the SS Otago on the evening of Monday 24 January 1876. The passengers on the eagerly anticipated four-and-a-half day voyage from Melbourne were not disappointed. Myriad waterfalls dashed down the steep sides of the granite peaks, following recent rain, and the clouds lifted to reveal Mitre Peak and Mt Pembroke – their towering forms reflected in the mirror-like surface of the fiord. The Otago dropped anchor by Bowen Falls at 7 pm. Von Guérard ‘at once had himself conveyed to an island’ where he executed sketches, and three drawings documented with notes on colour and vegetation, before the midsummer sun finally set.1From his chosen viewpoint he developed a panoramic composition of a series of pyramidal forms that stretch across the canvas, rising above the line of the water and reflected in it. Through the power and austerity of the composition, von Guérard communicates the monumental scale and geological age of the dark, angular rocky peaks, the depths of the fiord and the haunting silence of the Sound. His own personal experience is registered in the vignette of tiny figures seen disembarking from their rowboat. Their exhilaration at finding themselves in a place described by a journalist on the Otago as ‘unsurpassed, if equalled, by any cynosure of beauty on the earth’s surface’, is palpable.2 The intensity of von Guérard’s response to Milford Sound was informed by his scientific interest in its geology and vegetation.3 Contemporary reviewers, such as the writer for the Argus, who referred to ‘the steamer, floating like a child’s toy at the foot of one of the “awful cliffs”’, responded to Milford Sound in terms of the British Sublime.4 The Sublime played a part in von Guérard’s vision, but a more revealing context for understanding his portrayal of the subject is the scientific and specifically geological direction taken by German landscape painting in the early nineteenth century. Carus, in his Nine letters on landscape painting, argued for a new type of landscape art, one that revealed the history of the Earth’s formation through a scientifically accurate portrayal of its geology. In Milford Sound von Guérard observed and portrayed the hard, erosion-resistant character of the granite, gneiss and diorite rock formations and the vertical ridges of their foliated geological structure. The glacier at the top of Mt Pembroke – a flash of white in a predominantly dark composition – is a reminder of the glacial activity that shaped this landscape over six million years ago. Von Guérard’s New Zealand journey was the last of his many expeditions in the southern hemisphere. The two major works from this trip, Milford Sound and Lake Wakatipu with Mount Earnslaw, Middle Island, New Zealand 1877–79, were immediately acclaimed by contemporary reviewers.5Milford Sound was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle de Paris in 1878, and won a ‘First degree of Merit Special for Landscape Painting’ at the Sydney International Exhibition in 1879. Ruth Pullin 1 ‘The Otago’s Trip to Milford Sound’, Otago Witness, Issue 1262, 5 February 1876, p. 7. 2 Otago Witness, p. 7. 3 Von Guérard’s scientific accuracy is also evident in his portrayal of the plants found at Milford Sound. It is probable that the feathery flowered grasses in the foreground are the species richardii, a member of the Cortaderia genus. It is known by the Maori as toe toe. My thanks to Richard Neville, Conservation Botanist, Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, for identifying this plant species. 4 Argus (Melbourne), 2 January 1877, p. 4. 5 Collection of the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki.
