Pebble Beach Artist Brian Blood has been creating artwork for the past 26 years. First working as a Layout and Design Artist for local advertising agencies and newspapers in his hometown of Boston, MA, later operating his own publishing company, then becoming a successful Illustrator and graphic artist. But it just wasn’t quite enough. Relocating to San Francisco and teaching for more than a decade in the Fine Art Department at the Academy of Art University was an exciting experience.
All his earlier experiences had provided him the confidence and opportunity to focus solely on fine art and Brian’s work has been aggressively collected ever since. Now retired from teaching at his alma mater, Brian enjoys conducting his own plein air painting workshops in and around beautiful Central California. http://www.brianblood.com/

Joe Paquet
Breathe Deep
18" x 24" oil
$7,200
Joseph Paquet, while pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the School of Visual Arts in New York, had the good fortune of finding a mentor in John Foote who opened his eyes to the joys of drawing the human figure. After graduating, Joe met another major influence in his life, John Osborne, who was uniquely gifted in producing convincing landscape paintings from memory. Osborne believed a landscape painting should begin on location, but that its poetic essence should be completed in the solitude of the artist’s studio. Paquet experienced a demanding and rewarding apprenticeship, in which he learned to fuse field studies with the image he could see in his mind’s eye. To summarize this experience, he explains, “The intellectual process became married to the intuitive. Paint what you know well as what you see.” He goes on to expand the possibilities, “If I have the need or desire to move a mountain, add a figure or change the course of a river, I can do so. I am no longer shackled to nature. Now, I am painting my picture.” Paquet teaches and paints at Hurinenko and Paquet Studio in St. Paul, Minnesota. http://www.joepaquet.com/

Award winning artist, Peggi Kroll-Roberts, was trained at Arizona State University and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Peggi worked as a fashion and advertising illustrator before making the transition into fine art. Using intense color and value to accentuate her subject, she moved into fine art with a bold palette, a love for small paintings and a very loose style that achieves a lot with a few very energetic brush strokes. She prefers to suggest reality than render it. Inspired by her children she paints beach scenes and other aspects of their lives. She also breaks away from the conventional still life by painting scenes of cosmetics and the occasional coffee cup or slab of butter. Peggi's work gives us a new appreciation of our own daily life.

Hall says, “In my early childhood, I remember weeks spent at outdoor art shows and an occasional museum visit or two. My mother was a professional artist, something I knew I never wanted to be. But then in my early 30’s I started to play with paints again and something clicked.” Robin is now nationally recognized for her plein air artwork, and is included in many prestigious plein air events throughout the country. She is also actively involved in conducting workshops in the area. http://robinhall.com/

$4,500
Ray Roberts is one of California's most respected Plein Air artists. He has recently won the Gold Medal for "Best Painting" at the California Art Club and the Artists' Choice Award, the highest accolade from fellow artists, at three major Southwest art events. He is best known for his seascapes, figurative work, and majestic views of California and the Southwest. Roberts attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, where he studied under John Asaro, Dan McCaw, Len Chmiel, Ned Jacob, and Mark Daily, among others. Art Center is where Ray also met his wife, impressionist painter Peggi Kroll. While dating, the two of them would go out nightclubbing, to sketch rather than dance! It has been a successful partnership ever since. Like many successful artists before him, Ray first pursued a career as an illustrator, establishing a studio in Los Angeles and then Scottsdale, Arizona. He got up the courage to switch to fine art in 1992 and has never looked back. Ray and Peggi now live with their three children and assorted animals on a 20 acre ranch in Angels Camp, an old California gold rush town, surrounded by the oak-studded hills which he frequently paints. www.krollroberts.com

White Light Monterey
30” x 24” oil
$12,500
Joseph Paquet, while pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the School of Visual Arts in New York, had the good fortune of finding a mentor in John Foote who opened his eyes to the joys of drawing the human figure. After graduating, Joe met another major influence in his life, John Osborne, who was uniquely gifted in producing convincing landscape paintings from memory. Osborne believed a landscape painting should begin on location, but that its poetic essence should be completed in the solitude of the artist’s studio. Paquet experienced a demanding and rewarding apprenticeship, in which he learned to fuse field studies with the image he could see in his mind’s eye. To summarize this experience, he explains, “The intellectual process became married to the intuitive. Paint what you know well as what you see.” He goes on to expand the possibilities, “If I have the need or desire to move a mountain, add a figure or change the course of a river, I can do so. I am no longer shackled to nature. Now, I am painting my picture.” Paquet teaches and paints at Hurinenko and Paquet Studio in St. Paul, Minnesota. http://www.joepaquet.com/

Daniel Aldana is an early career artist who took an interesting path toward his current position in the art world. While in college he studied art, but unlike many artists, he attended medical school upon graduation. At Yale, between his medical studies, he took art classes to further his creative education, and during his internship he painted whenever he had a chance. After specializing in pediatrics at Loma Linda Children’s Hospital for many years he took a plein air painting class and was immediately hooked. That summer he began to paint full time. He has participated in several juried art festivals and art competitions, and has been honored with many prizes and awards. Southwest Art magazine selected him as an artist to watch in December 2007. http://www.danielaldana.com/
