Ken Elliott Fine Art Newsletter February 2022

February News: Here’s a quote from a remarkable artist and teacher, Wayne Thiebaud, “It has never ceased to thrill and amaze me,” he said, “the magic of what happens when you put one bit of paint next to another.” I so agree, and it's that experience that pulls me into the studio every day.  Wayne Thiebaud Boston Cremes, 1962 Oil on canvas, 14 x 18 in. Crocker Art Museum Thiebaud was an inspiration to many of us and will continue to be. He died the day after Christmas last year at 101. You can learn more about him in this New York Times obituary.   And following… I am happy to be exhibiting again with the Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art Gallery at 621 Canyon Road in Santa Fe. Dominique had closed for a time and has just reopened in her new exhibit space. Her website will be updated soon. It's a pleasure to be currently working on two commissions, new works and steadily teaching a few days each week. The oils in progress present continuous puzzles to solve and they are also a generous catalyst, a way to meet new and wonderful people. The act of painting produces magic in and out of the studio!
