Beauty and vulnerability
People often ask me, “How long does it take to complete a painting?” That's not an easy question to answer. While I work with oil paint—a medium that allows for extended working time due to its slow drying process—a painting doesn't begin on the canvas. There is an intensive process that precedes it, which is often underestimated.

TOM CURRY Near the Water
A plein air artist through and through, Tom Curry captures the nature, architecture and cultural treasures of his East Coast home.

Looking Up
While Eunika Rogers' new show at Blue Rain Gallery is themed around finding light—physically, emotionally and spiritually—her technique and process are equally important to her body of work. In roughly 8 pieces for her show Never Miss a Daylight, Rogers brings the landscape alive by painting with clay and other natural materials, “holding a conversation with the earth itself,” says Bekah Kolbe, manager of Blue Rain's Durango, Colorado, location. Rogers explains, “My primary intention is to explore fragility of the earth as it relates to time. I combine the origin of our existence (medium) with the subject, leading me and also the viewer to a thought-provoking narrative about our purpose and interconnectivity...I don’t just represent landscape in my work, but it is through this collaboration with nature that I construct pieces of that landscape onto itself, making it much more representative of the natural world.”

Finding Humor in Hubris
Larry Blizard has nothing against painting but at some point in his long career as an artist, working across many mediums, the 85-year-old observed that the drawings in his sketchbook seemed to contain a special quality that the paintings he was creating at the time, did not-a kind of vitality or intensity. \"Gradually, I began to devote more effort to sketching, until drawing took over completely,\" he says. Drawing, he found, also calms his nerves. \"I lose myself in the act of moving my pencil, bringing to life forms from my imagination, and the whole process becomes a kind of meditation.\"
