For those who have had the opportunity to visit or live in and around Westcliffe, Colorado the Sangre Barns will be a recognizable landmark. Dix Baines fell in love with these barns twelve years ago when he first participated in the Arts for the Sangre Invitational Art Show. They speak of a different time and are beautiful in there simplicity. Dix has explored them again and again in different lights, formats and sizes. The first of the three new paintings, “Late Light”, a piece that was just delivered to the Hayden Hays Gallery located on The Broadmoor Hotel property, is a view of the barns in the light of late day. “Twins of Westcliffe” is early morning light and “Passing Rain” shows the barns after the passing of a storm. ENJOY!

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!

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

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
