Kathy Huxley Is Online and Her Work Is For Sale

Kathy Huxley is an oil painter from Brookings, Oregon. Her love for art began at an early age. Kathy remembers drawing portraits of the neighborhood kids and her family while growing up. She studied art in California at Ventura College and the University of California Santa Barbara. She enjoys plein air painting, portraits, figurative, landscapes and most recently still lifes. Kathy’s narrative paintings are an exploration of multiple views of space with elements of Christian symbolism. She has also completed a series of small oil paintings on wood panels using glazing techniques.

Her work is shown in galleries along the coast of Southern Oregon and Northern California. Kathy’s paintings are in collections around the country. This past year she has been painting still lifes and doing color studies. Kathy’s style has changed from impressionism early on to realism, and more recently to a loose expressionistic brush stroke in her plein air and still life paintings . Kathy and her husband Tom, a photographer, love to travel the Oregon coast hiking and taking pictures. Kathy’s photos have inspired many of her studio paintings. Her artwork can be seen at: http://www.kathyhuxley.com/.

Randall Tillery and Gems

 I, Eva Marie TannerKlaas, stopped by the Crescent Harbor Gallery to pick up a few paintings and found out that Randall Tillery had a  workshop the next day. I signed up immediately to take advantage of this well known painter's knowledge. He set up a still life and demonstrated what we should do. We then could select our still life arrangements to paint.
His instruction was excellent. The class had several skill levels and Randall professionally instructed each of us one on one.  I was able to finish two pieces and his critique was  very helpful on how to improve my work.
Here are my two complete pieces. I would recommend him to any beginning and advanced student. He has gems. Those pieces of art knowledge that takes years to learn on your own.
Here is Randall Tillery's website. http://www.artbytillery.com/
