The role of an artist is to capture images of the day and bring them to the attention of members of society to appreciate and to leave a legacy for those who will follow. The artist captures the ordinary and shows us that it is extraordinary, whether it be a landscape, a building, or people on a street. They leave a visual history of our day so those that come later can connect with us.
Ground was broken for the LDS St. George Temple in November 1871 and the building was completed and dedicated in 1877. It is a monument to the pioneers who left the comforts of their homes in the East and spread and colonized the west, and as they did so erected monuments to their faith.

“KOI POND” 5×7 $300 Available through Dix Baines Studio @ 720.353.2670
Although, I have been painting trout for a number of years and feel comfortable in doing so, I’m finding that Koi are indeed a whole other animal. Photographing them is very different, as I don’t catch them, pull them in and then photograph. Instead I have to lay by the side of the pond and capture them either with my regular camara or the video. These mini 5×7 paintings are really a great way to learn to paint these beautiful animals.

OFF THE EASEL
The life of an artist always takes us down unexpected paths. A few weeks ago, Dix was approached about doing a painting of the Castle Rock, a predominant geological feature in Castle Rock, CO. The company who approached us wanted to use the image for dignitary gifts at a ground breaking for a Centura Health facility being built in Castle Rock. The result was this incrediable painting of the first light on the Castle Rock, which is now available through the studio, and a run of an edition of a 100 framed mini 5×7 giclees. Of the painting, Dix wrote:
“FIRST LIGHT ON CASTLE ROCK”
For years I had coached down in Castle Rock, and got to see the many moods of the landmark of the town. I had thought of painting the morning light often and capturing the light emblazened rock face. I was recently asked to paint the Castle Rock for a commerative gift print (closed series of 100). It was a challenge to pick a view, as the geological feature has extremely different profiles depending on your vantage point around the town. This view is the most familiar and sentimental to me; a view I often wanted to stop and paint.

When Dix Baines first began his full-time art career over 13 years ago, several of his paintings were purchased by the 5 star property The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado. To date 9 of Dix’s paintings, as well as 30 giclees, are part of the permanent Broadmoor collection. This past week The Hayden Hays Gallery, located at The Broadmoor, invited Dix to further extend his artistic presence at the property by becoming one of their regular artists. As a project designer, during his Interior Design days, Dix worked on several projects at The Broadmoor, so for him this will be like coming home. We are excited about this new opportunity!

Like so many of us who are not artists, we often wonder why an artist selects a particular color within a painting; the orange in a tree or stream or the cobalt blue in the snow. These thoughts were mysteries to me, even though I have the opportunity to watch Dix Baines paint on a daily basis. Repeatedly, he has tried to point out the color he sees in the water, or snow or cloud, but it wasn’t until recently, as we sat by the pond one evening around sunset, that I caught a glimpse of what he sees. As the Colorado setting sun came streaming through the trees, I saw splashes of brilliant orange reflecting off the trunk of the tree. I immediately said, “I see it! I see the orange.” He knew exactly what I was talking about, because he was already seeing it. Now I am seeing the color everywhere and now I am understanding the palette he uses. As you go about your week, look beyond the color of the blue sky, to the pink reflections of the sunset on the clouds, the yellow sunflowers reflecting off the stream, or the orange bouncing off the trunks of the trees. Enjoy your week as you enjoy the beauty of our world!

Sublime view – dark shadows – direct lighting on trees – wood is white – silvery highlighting.
Could be a nice view, especially if you pumped in the reds of last light.
“Sublime” is to evoke the full spectrum of human feeling and emotion, from fear, to elation and peace. It is important to celebrate the untouched look of this landscape; lone and dreary, stormy, turbulent, illuminated and magical. Sunset is as much a feeling as a visual experience. So fleeting…DIX BAINES – GATEWAY JOURNAL

NEWS FROM DIX BAINES STUDIO
When Dix Baines first began down the path of pursuing his art passion as a career, he stated that he did not ever want to be an artist that was always painting “girl’s in pink dresses.” In other words, he made the decision to paint from life and not ever be stuck painting one image. To date he has kept his images as diverse as the life he paints; from angling, to landscape, to architecture. With his “Outdoor Studio” he now has the reference to explore, in paint, new images of Koi Fish, flowers, and birds. The attached painting is the first of his paintings of flowers. Should you be interested in previewing this painting, please contact the Studio at 720.353.2670. ENJOY!

About a month ago, Dix and I were discussing the importance of cataloguing the paintings he has created and whose collections they have ended up in. Shortly after that conversation, we were contacted by a gentleman who had collected five of Dix’s Churches over the years. As each of the paintings had been purchased through a venue other than the Studio, we had no idea where these paintings had ended up. It was wonderful to receive an e-mail from the collector sharing pictures of the paintings (the paintings viewed here) he has collected and his story as to how he has grown an art collection on a budget. He has been kind enough to give us permission to share his story, as well as his article that was published in the 1996 issue of SOUTHWEST ART MAGAZINE, on collecting on a budget.
“In the 1990’s I noticed that every year Southwest Art featured collectors in their October issue. I also noticed that they featured only the collections of multi-millionaires. I wrote the editor a letter and told her that she was not doing the art business a favor with these articles, because all they did was reinforce the myth that only millionaires could afford fine art.
I explained that I am a Christian evangelist on a very limited salary, but that I put aside $200 a month to purchase original art. I told her I could write an article entitled, “How to Collect Big-Time Art on a Small-Time Budget.” The editor wrote back and challenged me to write the article. I did, and it was published in the October issue of 1996. A copy is attached. Since that time we have more than tripled our collection.
The best part, to my surprise, is that the magazine sent me a check for $500 for the article, which I used to purchase another piece of art!”
Dr. David Reagan
