Weekend of the Masters & Thanks
Point Lobos 8" x 12"
Oil on Mounted Linen - $2700 SOLD
Dear Friends,
For all of you who took the time to respond to my open letter to artists - Thank You (the letter is reprinted on my home page). I am glad the thoughts expressed touched a responsive chord.
I have just returned from teaching at the Weekend of the Masters in Carmel, CA and am completely spent: between staying up late, talking shop with new and old friends, lecturing, demo-ing and teaching I was worn to a nub.
What an amazing opportunity to see and meet so many artists who have awed me over the years.
I still can't believe that I get to do this for a living.
- Joe Paquet

New Work
Aggregate Yard in White Light 28" x 40"
Oil on Mounted Linen - $18,000
The above work was painted largely from life this summer in an area along the Mississippi, not far from my studio known as "Pig's Eye" named for a colorful 19th century Character who lived along the river.
The bleached white light and harmonious color with a shock of blue sky punctuated by small bits of red and yellow totally sent me. The challenges of dust, dirt and the rumbling of massive dump trucks passing within a few feet away was thoroughly unnerving.
It's the price we pay in trying to capture the DNA of a place.
