    Oil Painters of America’s 2024 Western Regional Exhibition

    OPA’s 2024 Western Regional Exhibition is being hosted by Phippen Museum, located in Prescott, Arizona, October 12, 2024 through January 5, 2025. The Opening Reception will be held on Friday, October 18, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. with the awards presentation at 7:00 p.m.

    Founded as a gold mining town, Prescott, AZ is surrounded by mountain ranges and offers a variety of activities for visitors. Horseback ride on trails ridden by Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp, hike or motor bike in the Prescott National Forest, or pan for gold. Consider visiting the Sharlot Hall Museum, with the Governor’s Mansion, built of Ponderosa Pines, other historic buildings and gardens. Or visit one of the museums devoted to Western art and life as well as Native American history or take a walking tour of one of
    the Victorian-era neighborhoods.

    Our goal is to assemble approximately 100 of the finest display of representational oil paintings. The focus in the jurying process will be to select paintings that show the highest quality in draftsmanship, color, and composition, emphasizing a diversity in representational style and subject matter.

    Wonderful interview with PAPNM Member, Lorenzo Chavez, with many pastel tips.

    "Lorenzo Chavez, our guest this month, is one of those amazing artists who paints mostly on location. In fact, as I was starting to organize this blog post, I emailed a question to Lorenzo. He squeaked in a quick reply before heading off for a week’s painting trip to Utah and Nevada!

    Lorenzo’s work expresses so clearly his love of the land, not just the grand vast scenes but also the seemingly ordinary corners of the sometimes scruffy landscape. The energy and life that comes from working on location pour forth from his paintings. Lorenzo works in both oil and pastel and here he shares some of his pastel work with us."
