The Greeley Western Invitational Art Show is held each year in conjunction with the Greeley Stampede in Greeley, Colorado. In keeping with the western theme of the Stamped, this year Dix Baines focused on several barns he found here in Colorado. Barns are interesting structures, as they speak of times past and yet at the same time are timeless. The architecture in these particular barns are simple and yet the simplicity adds to their beauty as they are incorporated into the surrounding landscape. These gems are the subjects of several of his paintings that will be on display and for purchase at the Gala on June 23rd . For those interested in attending, call 970-356-7787 or visit http://greeleystampede.org/ . Shirley Holland, the Art Director for the Greeley Western Invitational Art Show has done a remarkable job this year by adding a website which focuses entirely on the art show. The website is kept current and can be visited by going to http://stampedewesternartistselection.shutterfly.com. ENJOY!

GEORGE INNESS-DIX BAINES FINE ARTIST
April 20, 2011OFF THE EASEL
A few years ago, Dix was sharing with me the philosophy of an American painter of the 1800’s by the name of George Inness (http://www.georgeinness.org ). Besides being an extraordinary artist, the thoughts behind his paintings were just as astounding. One little tidbit that I learned that day, which actually was a bit amusing, was that Innes never felt that a painting was “done”. This could be a problem should a client bring a painting back to the studio, as they may pickup a completely different painting days later, as Inness revisited the painting. I have found that this habit is not unique to Inness. As someone on the sidelines, I have had the opportunity to watch Dix as he has grown through a painting and then gone back and applied what he has learned to a past painting. Typically, it is not a huge change as apparently Inness was fond of doing. More times than not, it has been a simple stroke of color or a lightening of an area that has caused the darks to pop, but in the end the subtle additions have been what was needed to take a painting from good to great.

Adobe Snow – New Painting by Fine Artist Dix Baines
June 4, 2010
“Adobe Snow”
9×12 oil $1300
People often ask Dix Baines how much he paints each day. His a response is that it’s a full time job, meaning he paints everyday. Even when sick, as he has been this past week with a case of strep and pink eye, deadlines still have to be met. “Adobe Snow” was completed while sick this week and with blurred vision, yet he still created an amazing masterpiece that was submitted to the C M Russell 2010 Miniature Invitational Art Show on Wednesday.
