Richard Guzman’s painting style has been described as robust, expressionistic, energetic, with sweeping use of color and skillful harmonies. These attributes are born of close observation of subject matter, countless hours of indoor as well as outdoor painting, and a boundless love of the craft. Richard has instructed for both private and pubic institutions for the past twenty-five years. He brings a wealth of information that includes the history of painting as well as the most recent trends in modern times. |
Jeff Otis is an oil painter and writer, living in Albuquerque, who is known primarily for his landscapes and hopefully soon, his novels. Landscape, especially the dramatic vistas of the desert Southwest, are his central focus. His style is representational and often accompanied by contrasts of light and shade as well as dynamic color harmonies. He attributes much of his development as a painter to great artists of the past such as Monet, Sargent, Millet, and Sorolla. Contemporary artists having equally important influence include Wilson Hurley, Michael Lynch, Russell Chatham, Clyde Aspevig, Richard Schmid, Laura Robb, Dan Gerhartz, Wayne Wolfe, Ralph Oberg, Bill Gallen, David Leffel, and Sherrie Mcgraw. He is a signature member of Oil Painters of America |
