Congratulations, Joe Anna, PAPNM Master Signature Member for the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award.  

The online segment is available here now. I purchased the video a year ago but am so glad I watched it again. The important concepts of perspective and value studies are very well explained and applied to buildings and cityscapes. Those of us who concentrate on landscapes without structures can benefit also. And for artists who now use the water soluble oils and palette knife, this video is invaluable.

L. Heath [Linda] Fine Art,
Fusionism and Southwest Landscape Paintings
VISIT ARTIST'S WEBSITE

Growing up in New Mexico, Heath has always been fascinated by the blending of ancient cultures here.  In addition, the future has always beckoned brightly to her through images from NASA’s deep space telescopes.  Now, with the next chapter of private space exploration developing rapidly, Heath has been inspired to create a new type of art called “Fusionism” or “Fusionist Art”.  Fusionism is a new art movement that blurs the lines among different cultures, fuses old and new painting media, and mixes human versus robotic-generated work. It is a perfect blend of her technical skills with ancient techniques and ideas.   I am inspired by ancient native cultures, digital images from NASA's Hubble space telescope, and the opening of Spaceport America in New Mexico.  

Congratulations to PAPNM Members, Peggy Immel and Lorie Batson,  award winners at the PAAC annual Show held this year at the Wilder Nightingale Gallery in Taos:

1000 Miles: Walking & Painting the Way of Saint James

Hi everyone, I’d like to share my journey with you. This is painting 1 of 200 that I painted as I walked 1000 Miles Walking & Painting the Way of Saint James.

From September 1 2018 to March 3 2019, I walked 1000 miles (1600km) alongside my donkey from Le-Puy-en-Velay to Finisterre. Every 5 miles along the entire route, I set up my easel and painted. Each painting took 3 hours, the whole journey took 6 months. By the time I reached Finisterre, I had created a collection of 200 paintings, all painted on location during my journey, in all weathers and conditions.

The plan was to share my paintings with you through a touring exhibition. Thanks to Covid, I don’t know when this will now be possible. So, starting today, I’d like to share them with you, one at a time. I hope you enjoy this collection of art that honours the Way, and that it brings back many memories or inspires future hopes and dreams.

LIMITED EDITION BOOK OF All 200 PAINTINGS and accompanying narrative is now available here*.
