Description
You’ll love this digital download of the May 2015 issue of Southwest Art if:
- You love the timeless art of the figure and artistic expressions of what it means to be human.
- You love plein-air paintings and seeing the landscape through the artist’s eye.
- You love a look back at artists we’ve featured in our pages and seeing what they are doing now.
In this digital download of the May 2015 issue of Southwest Art, you’ll meet California-based plein-air artist Marcia Burtt and figurative painter Ron Hicks. While some artists, like Hicks, know from childhood that they will pursue art, Burtt’s journey to becoming a fine artist took a much more circuitous route, through multiple universities, medical school, a marriage, and children. Explore the two very different paths these artists took along the way and peruse Hicks’ emotionally charged figurative works and Burtt’s abstracted expressions of the landscapes. Also in this issue, we check in with 13 artists we’ve featured in the past and find out what they’re doing today. Finally, don’t miss our tour of 18 art shows and auctions around the West.
