Interpreting the Masters in Acrylic - Pete Radliff at Soft Pinecone

What do Van Gogh and Pete Radliff have in common?
Absolutely nothing except the "Art Thing". Pete's newest body of work is interpreting the masters through acrylics. Pete explains, "I am visiting the masters and having a dialogue with them about their techniques as I paint them." Pete is visiting the ghosts of Rembrandt, Turner, Leonardo and others in this fascinating exploration into the minds of the Masters.

Rich Busch - Photography at Soft Pinecone

"As a trained archaeologist and geologist, I’ve approached the natural world looking at small characteristics often piecing them together to interpret the bigger picture. It wasn’t until a work colleague of mine pointed out that I “seem to like shapes and light” that I realized this to be true for my photography as well. While my pictures are not close-ups, they are parts of a whole, larger object or system. As we look at that smaller part of the whole we see how light and color play in
that small space and more often than not, it makes for an interesting photograph.

Some of my work people would consider “Landscapes”. I do not consider myself a landscape photographer; those are better left to Ansell Adams and John Fielder. Again, I wait until the light brings out something that is abnormal in the landscape, some color, some action, something not seldom witnessed."

Photographer Dominique Skeehan at Soft Pinecone Gallery December 3 thru January 3

Dominique Skeehan grew up in Denver and has always enjoyed the natural scenic splendor the great outdoors has to offer. She has spent many years in Colorado and regional wilderness hiking, camping, driving...and capturing the individual beauty of many locations through the art of photography.

Dominique’s images portray what she has seen - not imagined, not doctored.
Just the way it was at that moment.

“My work represents the spectacular gifts of Mother Nature as well as the simple beauty I’ve seen on the back roads of Colorado and beyond.”

Thank you for coming in and taking the time to view my work. I hope it inspires you to slow down and look around as you travel through life.

Dominique
