"August 3, Wednesday
The current RMNP visiting artist, Brian Slawson presented a slide show of some of his oil paintings. The visiting artist stay at RMNP for a period of two weeks and commit to donating an original art work to the park. Brian spends most of his two weeks, traveling around the park photographing and documenting potential images. Paintings may consist of elements of multiple photographs. I talked with Brian after the program and he said that this technique allows him to return home with 20-30 ideas to develop, as opposed to just 2-3 paintings if he spent his two weeks actually painting. His range of subjects from nature/landscapes to 1950’s movie houses is just incredible. Yes, the urban images are oil paintings, not photographs.
