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!

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.

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

ANNUAL HOLIDAY SHOW – DIX BAINES FINE ARTIST
November 16, 2010NEWS 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
