Pat Walker is representational painter of portraits, still-lifes & landscapes. Her masterful manipulation of light and dark, evocative of Rembrandt’s use of chiaroscuro, is the defining component of her style. By means of it she aims “to create mystery and emotion.” These two elements are the real subjects of her work. Her classic representations of fruit, jug, table & cloth are windows opening to domestic worlds. The views evoke tales of life in imagined homes and times. Her representation of the human face is a view to the inner world of the subject’s personality; the unarticulated life-quest, heroic, tragic, wise, at-risk, on the cusp of accepting inevitable challenges and the resigned contentment of latter years. Her faces cannot be forgotten. They linger teasing from the viewer’s mind the story that explains; or searching for a name that has the power to keep safe what the viewer experienced.

PLEIN-AIR PAINTING

I am a professional landscape painter.I make my living painting pictures. In my blog I show my paintings, offer some of the techniques, ideas and methods I have learned over the years, and talk about how to make a living as an artist. I present some essays on painting, art, and hopefully amuse you some at the same time. I will also tell you about many of the fine painters I have known over the years and some who died long ago.

Unfortunately, potential flooding in Rolling Fork has made it necessary to cancel William Kalwick's Workshop. We will be cut off from Vicksburg and Jackson making travel impossible. Please pray for all that are being devastated by this flood. Thank You, Pat Walker

BEGINNER TO ADVANCED PORTABLE EASEL NECESSARY INDIVIDUAL CRITIQUES INSTRUCTOR DEMONSTRATIONS This class will be a workshop for beginners to advanced artists in the tradition of the old masters. Students will paint landscapes en plein air, portrait and still life. It is anticipated that students will paint two paintings each day. Students will learn the basics of painting with emphasis on values, composition and the importance of the juxtaposition of color and shape. The advanced student will learn the refinement of their existing techniques. There will be critiques. Bill was born in New Jersey and after graduation from high school, studied at the Art Students League in New York City. In 1981, he moved to Houston, Texas to become Lajos Markos’s protégé. His paintings cover many subjects, but he is mainly known for paintings depicting life in Guatemala and Mexico, scenes of romantic figurative subjects, and landscapes. He has shown throughout the United States and Europe and in 1994 was selected as the demonstration artist at the Gilcrease Rendezvous. He has participated in many shows including the prestigious Prix de West Invitational in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and the Masters of the American West Show at the Autry Museum in Los Angeles, California.

http://bobRohm.com CLOSED Bob Rohm communicates the externals of his subjects with great vibrancy and power. His inner vision speaks subtly of simple yet complex beauty. Rohm's style reflects his discovery of the southwest: "Although my work is representational, I simplify textures and surfaces to dramatize planes of light and color.

Landscape Workshop...inside! ROLLING FORK, MS

Born and raised in the northeast, Rohm's return to painting was triggered in early 80's when he moved to Texas; the broad vistas and bright, hard sky of the southwest opened up before him. Here was a landscape of stark simplicity and solitary beauty. Bob began to cut back on his production business in order to paint part time, and, in a few short years he became a full time artist. Rohm's style reflects his discovery of the southwest: "Although my work is representational, I simplify textures and surfaces to dramatize planes of light and color. My use of color is impressionistic and expressive. I contrast both hard and soft edges, as well as transparent and opaque paint," he explains. Each painting seems to capture an element beyond reality. Each moves the viewer beyond the subject itself. As Rohm says, "A painting fails if it does not induce the viewer to experience some form of emotion, not only about what the subject is but why it is." And while not all of his paintings have a typical southwestern theme, they demonstrate the focus of style which evolved through his realization of the southwestern image: razor-sharp contrasts and vivid colors. Rohm lectures, demonstrates and teaches painting workshops. A signature member of the Oil Painters of America, and the Pastel Society of America, he has exhibited in national and international shows and has won many awards. His art and teachings have been featured in many publications and can be found in numerous corporate and private collections internationally.
