Sonya Johnson said...: Congratulations on having your work featured at this gallery, Casey! I enjoyed browsing through their website, and hopefully the extra exposure will get more of your work into collector's homes :).

And kudos to that gallery for featuring and supporting several local artists; I wish more galleries would do this.; December 3, 2010 at 3:43 PM

-Don said...: The red and blue in this piece have such a wonderful 'punch' amplified with the oranges and the referenced green. What a great composition! And great color... of course, what would one expect from The Colorist.

Kudos on the gallery representation.

Dan Kent said...: I love this painting! Congratulations on the show!; December 4, 2010 at 5:24 AM
Casey Klahn said...: Thank you, Peggy and Dan.

Don - thanks very much. I try to say, "I'm not 'the colorist,' that's the name of my blog." But, at this point, that distinction fails to fly. I do work in the colorist tradition, so I'll take the compliment.

This image is from memory, of a draw west of my house with a lot of wild rose bushes.; December 4, 2010 at 6:20 AM

Jala Pfaff said...: Wish I could see them.
And you know this one is one of my all-time faves.; December 6, 2010 at 9:42 AM
Casey Klahn said...: Hey, you Boulder artists. Thanks for commenting, Jala and Sam.

I'm not sure how the opening went - I was present for the past two but not this one.

To be honest, I am more focused on the studio and what I'm creating right now.; December 6, 2010 at 1:35 PM
