NEWS FROM DIX BAINES STUDIO
As has been said in previous emails, Dix always says that as people collect his paintings, we collect them. We both have found that over the years of Dix’s art career, the best part of the job is the people we meet and interact with. It is always a pleasure as the year comes to an end, that we are able to open our home and the studio and invite all of those that we have “collected” to join us for a celebration of art and the friendships that have come through that same art. We ask each of you to join us for our Annual Holiday Open House and Auction on Friday, December 10th
"ROCKY MOUNTAIN LIGHT" 10x10 OIL $1300
ALL PAINTINGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE BY CONTACTING DIX BAINES STUDIO AT 720.353.2670

“St. George Light” 8×10 oil $1200 available through Dix Baines Studio @ 720.353.2670
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. Kathlyn Gogarty-Baines – Dix Baines Studio.

“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!
