August 2023 Featured Signature Artist: Clark Mitchell

August 2, 2023 by Bonnie Langner

LPAPA Signature Artist of the Month Clark Mitchell

August 2023 Signature Artist of the Month:  Clark Mitchell  of  Cotati, California

Growing up in the shadow of the Rockies, Clark Mitchell very early discovered a love of the natural world. Given a set of fine old German pastels by his father when quite young, he quickly embraced the medium for its ease of handling, brilliance of color and portability. He received a bachelor’s degree in art from Colorado College in the seventies and moved to San Francisco to continue his studies at the Academy of Art College. Through personal exploration as well as study with artists Albert Handell, Skip Whitcomb, Michael Lynch and Bill Hook, Mitchell has developed the talent to create both tightly rendered scenes as well as looser, more abstract suggestions. In order to fully immerse himself in the countryside he loved to portray, Mitchell left San Francisco with his partner over thirty years ago and moved north to the beautiful Sonoma County wine country. Painting expeditions throughout the state as well as across the country continue to provide challenge as well as inspiration.

July 2023 Featured Artist Member: Liz Abeyta

July 6, 2023 by Bonnie Langner

LPAPA Artist of the Month for July 2023, Liz Abeyta

July 2023 Artist Member of the Month: Liz Abeyta of San Diego, California

”I love the constant challenges of painting on location as it forces me to pare down grand vistas or detailed scenes to the bare essentials. It is a delicate balance to provide just enough so that the painting is understood by the viewer, while leaving suggested features to the imagination. I strive to be efficient with brushstrokes yet still capture my feelings about the location. We’ve all heard “Variety is the spice of life.” Variety also adds spice to a painting: light played against shadow, hard crisp edges versus soft lost ones, thick paint confidently laid against a thin wash, and warm yellows and reds alongside cool blues and greens. These contrasts can really make a painting sing.” –Liz Abeyta

June 2023 Featured Signature Artist: Richard Lindenberg

June 1, 2023 by Bonnie Langner

LPAPA Featured Signature Artist of the Month of June 2023

June 2023 Signature Artist Member of the Month:  Richard Lindenberg of Novato, California

“Painting is a friend that always brings me great joy and peace.  I paint primarily because it constantly allows me to open my heart.  The little moments looking out a car window at an extraordinary sight, or seeing the way a strip of late afternoon light streaks across the meadow.  If my paintings can allow the viewer access into a world that is always present, but often taken for granted… then I have contributed something.”

–Richard Lindenberg

May 2023 Featured Signature Artist: Lisa Mozzini-McDill

May 1, 2023 by Bonnie Langner

Featured Signature Artist for May 2023, Lisa Mozzini-McDill

May 2023 Signature Artist Member of the Month:  Lisa Mozzini-McDill of Lake Elsinore, CA

“Creating artwork that is realistic but loose, expressive as well as meaningful is an ongoing endeavor. What I think about when painting is emphasizing an exciting play of light and shadow, an interesting composition, and enhancing a scene that evokes a deeper meaning or emotion in me. It is my intent that this depth and emotion I feel will also be communicated and resonates with the viewer.” — Lisa Mozzini-McDill
