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.
"CANADA ADOBE" 5X7 SOLD THROUGH MCLARRY FINE ART GALLERY
"WHITE CHURCH OF PILAR" SOLD THROUGH MCLARRY FINE ART GALLERY
"SOUTHWEST CHURCH" SOLD THROUGH MCLARRY FINE ART GALLERY
"SOUTHWEST ROSES" SOLD THROUGH MCLARRY FINE ART GALLERY

OFF 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.

"TIERRA ROJA" 10x20 SOLD
"RED EARTH" oil 5x7 $300 Available Through Hayden Hays
This year Dix Baines participated in the 2011 Panhandle-Plains Invitational Art Show and Sale, held in Canyon, Texas. As this was only his second year to participate, we were excited to learn that both his pieces, “Tierra Roja” and “First Light on the Castle Rock” sold. Often Dix will explore an image in a smaller format and then revisit it in a larger size. It allows him to work through the composition and resolve any issues that might pop up. With “Tierra Roja”, he did the reverse, however. He enjoyed the image so much the first time, he revisited it in a 5×7, which is now available through “The Hayden Hays Gallery”, located at the The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.
The Broadmoor will always be a special place for Dix as initially, as an Interior Designer and Project manager, he had the opportunity to work on the property during a remodel. Later, his art was brought to the attention of the property, which now has several originals and giclees as part of their permanent collection.

"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

"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.
