TODAY MARKS 14 YEARS SINCE I WALKED AWAY FROM A CAREER IN INTERIOR DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE AND INTO A CAREER AS A FULL-TIME ARTIST. IN 2001, “SOUTHWEST ART MAGAZINE” REFERRED TO IT AS A “LEAP OF FAITH”. REFLECTING BACK OVER THE PAST 14 YEARS, THAT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. EVERYDAY IS A NEW LEAP OF FAITH, AS I WORK TO CONVEY TO MY AUDIENCE AND ONTO THE CANVAS WHAT TOUCHES ME AND WHAT I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT. PAINTING IS ABOUT DEVELOPING A SKILL, BUT IT IS ALSO ABOUT PUTTING A BIT OF THE ARTIST SOUL ONTO THE CANVAS AND HOPING THAT SOMEONE CONNECTS WITH IT. NOT TOO LONG AFTER WALKING AWAY FROM MY DAY JOB, I BEGAN SHOWING THE MCLARRY FINE ART GALLERY. RECENTLY, THESE FOUR PAINTINGS SOLD AT THE GALLERY. A NICE WAY TO COMMEMORATE THE 14 YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

"BOULDER VIEW" 10x20 SOLD
For those that live in Colorado, these are the kind of sunsets we have the opportunity to see everyday. Some days they are orange, such as in “Boulder View” and other days pink and other days yellow. Over the years, during the hours of sunsets, the Baines’ family can often be found in the middle of our street enjoying the beauty of the sunsets. Take a minute today and marvel at the beauty that surrounds us. Kathlyn Gogarty-Baines

"WHITE CHURCH OF PILAR" 5x7 SOLD
When Dix Baines stepped away from a full-time job as a Project Designer in a design firm, to pursue a career as an artist, he told me one day that he never wanted to paint, as he put it, “girls in pink dresses”. In other words, he wanted to paint from life; everywhere and everything. He had and still has no interest in revisiting the same subject over and over, rather wanting to try his hand at painting the world before him. This goal has taken him to many locations where he has visited images from the Southwest Churches, to the vistas of the land to, the fish in mountain streams. No matter what the subject, he strives to express the images through paint with accuracy and honesty. -Kathlyn Gogarty-Baines

"ROCKY MOUNTAIN LIGHT" 10x10 SOLD
Rocky Mountain National Park is such an amazing place. With the light of the sun setting in the Colorado sky, it is even more so. This painting just sold at the Hayden Hays Gallery in Colorado Springs. They have only represented Dix’s work for a short time, but have done a great job and have had several paintings sell. We look forward to working with them for years to come.

OFF THE EASEL
Years ago Dix and I, with children in hand, visited the LA Museum of Art to see the Vincent Van Gogh exhibit. As we walked the galleries of the exhibit, I became aware that there were several paintings with like images, which at the time I thought was a bit strange. As my understanding and learning has developed over the years and as I have watched Dix paint, I have come to realize that often an artist will have an image that they are continually drawn to and have to revisit in different sizes and formats. The Los Pinos Canyon offers just such images and it is one I have watched Dix paint large and small, rectangle and square over the years. One of the first permanent collections Dix’s work became a part of was The Broadmoor, a five star property in Colorado Springs, Colorado. His painting “Los Pinos River” was purchased by the property and hung in the Charles Court Restaurant. Recently, Dix decided to revisit the Los Pinos area again in yet another size and format. This new painting, “Colorado Winter” will be delivered to the Hayden Hays Gallery, located at The Broadmoor, tomorrow. -Kathlyn Gogarty-Baines

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.
