OFF THE EASEL
During the year of 2007 – 2008, Dix Baines was commissioned to paint the incredible area of Gateway, Colorado. The area is 50 miles East of Arches National Park and 40 miles south of Grand Junction, Colorado. The area includes the Unaweep Canyon, as well as Palisades of red rock, and is a spectacular area. During the course of his time in the area, Dix kept a journal, which can be read in it’s entirety at http://www.dixbaines.com, along with previewing the paintings generated from the area. The attached painting is only one of nearly 50 paintings, 40 of which are owned by the property, that have been inspired by the grandeur of the area.
“Early mornings are the best way to start at Gateway. I drove in late last night, so I could not see anything. I was pleasantly surprised by the color in the trees. A fair amount of gold, and green hanging on. I like when a single tree has a mix – turning from green at the bottom, to gold at the top.” DIX BAINES – JOURNAL OCTOBER 14, 2007
