2025 Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting
Invitational Artist Philip Carlton
Fruita, Colorado
“I am a self taught painter whose art has been shaped by his transition from the urban Midwest to the wide open landscape of Western Colorado. Now most at home in the mountains and desert, my style has evolved to focus on light and texture rather than detail, and my focus is often the distant rather than the near. IÂ enjoy the performative aspect of working en plein air, and embrace the environmental challenges that set the stage for any scene with a story worth telling.”
