Artful Painter

Len Chmiel has no interest in merely copying what he sees. He says that he allows his "intuition to speak.” His intention is to expand the boundaries of realism rather than merely painting a facsimile. While many artists lament having artist’s block or a lack of inspirational ideas, Len is not one of them. He is keenly interested in all that is around him and the possibilities that they present. He says there is more than a life-time of ideas awaiting his easel. He does not let others dictate what he should paint. Rather, he paints what interests him.

Len first appeared in episode 12 of the Artful Painter. I knew in having that first conversation with him that there was still much more to his story and experience. Thankfully Len reached out to me recently and said he was ready to talk. In this conversation Len shares his thoughts on the importance of knowing who you are as an artist. He discusses the importance of doing a mental reset when observing familiar things so that you see them with a fresh eye. He delves into the importance of experimentation and trying new things in order to grow as an artist.

Len’s entries into the 48th Annual Prix de West Invitational Art Exhibition and Sale clearly demonstrate his virtuosity in developing new ideas in a painting. His three entries are a diverse range of subjects. One painting features scrub jays breakfasting on the rose hips of a spent wild rose bush (Scrub Jays Breakfast Menu… Rose Hips). Another painting shows aspens aglow with sunlight above a cool mountain stream (Solar Collectors). And another depicts lily pads calmly floating on the surface of a pond, basking in the sun (High Summer). These diverse, gorgeous paintings by Len Chmiel make it clear, he is intent on making each his own.

TJ Cunningham grew up in Vermont in an area that was also a favorite place for Aldro Hibbard and Emile Gruppé to paint. If you have ever visited that part of Vermont as my wife and I did a few years ago, you probably call to mind the beautiful hills, mountains, woods, and streams. And nestled snuggly in that beautiful setting are the small farms graced with red barns and cozy homes that beckon to a simpler time. Just as Hibbard and Gruppé found inspiration among this landscape, so does TJ Cunningham. Though he no longer lives in Vermont, the intense desire to capture the beauty of the landscape continues to burn in his heart.

I first met TJ Cunningham back in January of this year at the Booth Western Art Museum. He was one of the exhibiting artists of Plein Air Painters of the Southeast that was on display at that time at the Booth. On exhibit there was a hauntingly beautiful and moody painting by Cunningham called Near the Beaver Pond. On seeing that one painting, I knew I had to meet TJ and eventually have him on the Artful Painter.

In this edition of the Artful Painter, TJ talks about what he drawn to paint, the importance of preparation before painting, and the unique tools and materials he uses. He discusses how outdoor painting is part of the preparation process. We also talk about his transition from gallery representation to his now being 100% self-representing in his home studio and his beautiful website.

TJ was featured in the September 2014 issue of Southwest Art magazine in the series 21 Under 31: Young Artists to Watch in 2014. How true that admonition was, for today TJ’s paintings are an impressionistic tour-de-force. When you examine his paintings up close, you get a sense that TJ relishes not only a beautiful scene, but also the act of making the painting. In many ways looking at the surface of his paintings it’s not clear just how he made those gorgeous marks and textures. Using a variety of mark-making tools, he leaves a compelling mystery for the viewer to ponder. Each painting by TJ Cunningham exudes the wonder of being in the landscape.

John Pototschnik is a fine art painter who resides in Wylie, Texas. As a young boy, his parents instilled in him a strong work ethic. Doing chores, selling his mother’s cookies door-to-door, and having a newspaper route – all these experiences would lay the foundation for how John approaches the work of being a professional artist today. He began his professional career as an illustrator. The discipline of meeting deadlines, and being attuned to a client’s needs further honed his creative skills. After ten years of working as an illustrator, John made the leap to working full-time as a fine art painter.

However, that leap did not come without challenges. For example, in order to overcome the tendency towards using highly saturated colors common to illustration work, John dove into an intense period of experimentation with color. In time, that experimentation led to using a limited palette. Mastering the limited palette proved to be key in achieving beautiful paintings with high dynamic range and expressive color that John is known for.

Today, students rave about John's color workshops. You may recall in a previous episode of the Artful Painter that Amanda Lovett shared how attending John’s color workshop was transformative to her. John recently wrote a book about color for artists: Limited Palette, Unlimited Color – which also has a companion instructional video.

John's paintings may bring to the viewer’s mind childhood memories, but that is not necessarily his primary intent. His desire is to create something beautiful that draws people in. He considers himself primarily a landscape painter. He loves small-town neighborhoods and the atmosphere found in those neighborhoods. He captures the beauty of those small towns and rural landscapes – both outdoors and in his studio.

John Pototschnik's mastery of color and values – all using a limited palette – lead to beautifully harmonious paintings that speak to the heart.

DK Palecek is a painter who embraces her left-brain-centric worldview. Starting with degrees in both Math and Finance, she worked as a mathematician, served as an investment banker, became a venture capitalist, and is a serial entrepreneur. In that career trajectory, painting fine art was the farthest thing from her logical, left-brain mind. And yet, she was smitten by the beauty of fine art. About ten years ago she began painting outside and in the studio. It wasn’t long until she was on the plein air painting circuit, represented in several galleries, became a member of several painting societies, and began teaching workshops.

Deke, as she is known by her painting friends, became fascinated with brain science and the power and plasticity of the brain. In this edition of the Artful Painter, Deke discusses the implication of brain science for artists seeking to improve their painting skills. She talks about the importance of setting specific goals and turn those goals into specific actions that lead to learning new skills. Deke warns of the perils of the mental-energy sapping act of indecisiveness. An artist must decide and focus on executing that decision.

Of course, Deke is not all left-brain. Her expressive paintings captures the beauty of everyday scenes. Deke’s left brain and right brain unite together in an exuberant collaboration of painting curiosity.

Bryan Mark Taylor is no stranger to many outdoor painters. He’s the inventor of the outdoor painting system STRADA Easel. He’s a remarkably versatile painter adept at painting landscapes, urban and architectural scenes, the still life, and highly imaginative scenes with a science fiction flare. Bryan’s deep love of travel moves him to paint evocative images full of mystery, awe, and reverence for the people and landscapes he experiences and carefully observes.

Bryan had a chance encounter with another lover of art – Keith Huang – that would lead to another venture. Born and raised in Taiwan, Keith later moved to the United States and studied with fine art portrait painter Del Parson. But then Keith made a dramatic decision to switch from fine arts to accounting. He earned an accounting degree in 2011 and honed his business skills in corporate America.

However, his love of art was never far off. Keith and Bryan immediately clicked, and thus was born Sentient Academy. Their vision for Sentient Academy is to bring affordable, top-quality art education to everyone who has the desire to learn. They both want to provide more than just online painting courses. They want to provide a rich community where artists can receive constructive feedback and encouragement. They also want to fill the large void of the lack of art business education that traditional universities, schools, and even other online art education sources neglect. Bryan and Keith hope to be a catalyst for raising up a new generation of amazing artists for the 21st century.

Amanda Lovett says she "grew up in a family of storytellers; people who could take a moment in time and make it come to life using words.” She says, "It didn't take me long to realize that this trait is a part of my genetic code as well. I too tell stories, only I use paint, light and shape to bring them to life. It's about being in the moment, breaking down what I see and giving my brush a chance to speak.” When you closely observe Amanda's paintings, each one appears to tell a story - one that allows you to step inside and participate in.

Amanda’s art education led to a career in advertising and she landed her first role as an art director at the young age of 19. Quick to absorb the lessons from her experience as an art director, she soon opened her own advertising agency in Atlanta. However, the responsibilities of running an advertising company left little time for her to be hands-on with art making. In 1998, she attended a watercolor class with Frank Broadhurst. It was a defining moment for her as she resolved to become a fine art painter. In 2004 she switched to painting with oils, and, gaining confidence in her abilities, she made the leap to becoming a full-time painter.

Amanda has followed her own way as a painter. She ignores the advice that a fine art painter should stick to one genre or subject matter. She is comfortable painting the landscape, westerns, animals, people, a still life, water, buildings, urban or country scenes, airplanes, trains, cars and trucks, or live events. She is now a signature member of the Oil Painters of America, and she teaches several workshops to help other artists improve their craft. Wherever you find Amanda Lovett painting - whether in her studio or on location outdoors - you find her telling a story with a brush.

Crista Pisano was born and raised in northern New Jersey and began painting in oils in 1989 under the instruction of John Phillip Osborne at the Ridgewood Art Institute in Ridgewood, NJ. Her career as a painter almost didn’t happen because as a young child she had her heart set on being a ballet dancer. At twelve years of age she nixed that idea and decided it wasn’t for her. Crista's mother suggested that she take a look at Bob Ross, you know, the painter on TV. Finding joy in painting, she pursued an education in fine art. Crista graduated from the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in 2000, receiving a Bachelors Degree of Fine Arts Painting, and in 2003, received a Masters Degree of Fine Arts Painting from the New York Academy Graduate School of Figurative Art. With that solid foundation under her belt, she now paints full time.

Aside from participating in various plein air events throughout the year, she exhibits throughout New England and New York. She has received numerous awards and honors, including “Best in Show” at the Adirondack Plein Air Festival in both 2012 and 2014. Crista also won “Honorable Mention” at Plein Air Easton in 2015 and 2016. Plein Air Magazine had included Crista as one of their featured artists in their December/January 2016 issue.

Crista paints landscapes – mostly plein air and also in her studio in Nyack, NY. Though she is known for painting on a small scale, she also paints larger works in her studio. In this delightful conversation, Crista shows that her adventures in painting in plein air goes beyond the brush. When she paints, the unexpected may also follows – whether it’s rescuing a baby in a runaway baby carriage or learning about owls from a scary looking biker. Crista takes it all in stride, adding these fantastical stories to her collection of experiences that could only be had from painting outdoors. If you were to chance upon her in the field painting, you would see Crista Pisano passionately capturing nature’s grandeur.

Kathleen Hudson's paintings capture fleeting moments of light and atmosphere. She says, "My paintings represent specific places and moments in time: the brief point during a sunrise when the sun fills the air with an ethereal golden glow; a break in a storm where light pierces through heavy clouds; or the sight of glacial runoff sending waterfalls down the side of a mountain wreathed in fog.” Kathy artfully creates rare moments of beauty where light and atmospheric movement become sublime.

When painting outdoors, Kathleen is drawn to scenes of expansiveness. She keeps an open mind as she searches for a scene that moves her. She is not afraid to paint the same scenes that others have painted before her, because she is confident in her own vision and her own voice that she uses to expressively paint the landscape. As the morning kiss of light begins to illuminate the landscape before her, Kathleen Hudson’s creative heart and mind come alive with a sense of possibilities.

Jill Steenhuis is an American Impressionist painter – originally from Atlanta, Georgia, who now lives in Aix-en-Provence, France. It’s been her home for over three decades. Her unexpected journey there is a fascinating story.

When she was just eight years old, her mother died. Her mother’s death left an enormous void in her life. Being creative helped fill part of that void. When Jill turned sixteen, her father gave her a book of the paintings of Paul Cézanne. At first, she was disappointed in getting the book. Like many young teens, she had hoped for a car. However, with the gentle encouragement of her father she began to appreciate the beautiful paintings within. The inspiration from that book began an extraordinary journey that leads to her living in Aix-en-Provence in France, falling in love with a young Frenchman, studying at The Leo Marchutz School of Painting and Drawing, and following Cézanne’s footsteps to his studio at Chateau Noir, and Mont Sainte-Victoire.

Jill’s paintings are vibrant and colorful. Her loose brushstrokes invite the viewer into an intimate dance. Most of her paintings are created outdoors – en plein air. Each painting session begins with a warm-up: she carefully prepares and lays out her colors on a large, white palette that she likens to a piano. Using her “unlimited palette” of colors, she has access to all 88 keys of the piano. With a large canvas set in place on her easel, her eye seeks out the nature that surrounds her. And then, she lifts up a paintbrush and without hesitation, Jill Steenhuis begins her exuberant Dance with Nature.

John P. Lasater IV is a representational painter whose works are a synthesis of nature, perception, and deep roots in art history. And by deep roots, I mean, he’s not fixated on the 19th century triumvirate of Sargent, Sorolla, and Zorn. Though he appreciates what each of them have accomplished, John seeks to study other artists who practiced their craft over the centuries. By not limiting himself to the influence and lessons of a just a few 19th century representational artists, John’s approach to painting is broadened and enriched.

For several years John worked for a greeting card company. The deadline driven environment and the constant flow of different projects certainly contributed positively to John’s skill as an artist. However, John yearned for the freedom to paint what he wanted, and to become a full-time painter. He was uncertain about taking such a leap. However, a close friend of his helped him be decisive, set his priorities, and clarify his focus. With the support of his wife and family, he dove into painting full-time.

John is a person who actively seeks out challenges in growing as a painter. At first, painting outdoors was a significant part of John’s career as a painter. Now he spends more time in his studio working on even more challenging and ambitious paintings. A close look at his paintings show that over time John's work has evolved from his early impressionistic, bravado brushwork to, more recently, a quieter, thoughtful, simpler approach.

John is not content to simply paint - he has a burning desire to share the lessons he’s learned as a painter. It’s therefore no surprise, then, that he considers himself more of a teacher than an artist. He thoroughly enjoys helping others take on the challenge of growing as artists.

Clearly, whether he is teaching or painting, John Lasater is a man who is always aiming for something higher.
