One of our favorite artists, Colin Page, from Maine will be here in Charleston, SC this coming April. Mark it on your calendar! He’ll be here as part of a show at the Smith Killian Gallery, located in downtown Charleston. Colin will also be giving a workshop here on Friday, April 6 and Saturday, April 7, 2012. My husband and I met Colin several years ago, he’s a down to earth nice guy as well as a fabulous artist. We met him and a group of artists he was painting with in a cottage down from ours. We were lucky enough to see the artwork after they spent a week out every day painting rain or shine… and the work was nothing short of amazing. Jaw dropping. No kidding! My husband and I were fortunate enough to buy a piece of his work that year, and we absolutely LOVE it! Colin has the uncanny ability to take something mundane and turn it into something spectacular! Check out his WEBSITE (hint: his journal is FULL of information!). Also… contact the Smith Killian Gallery for more details! Hope to see you there! Here’s some info for the workshop. If the image is too small you should be able to click on it to enlarge… Catch you back here tomorrow!

You nailed it with the description ‘mundane’. Colin sees a painting anywhere and everywhere and has influenced me in both color- I adopted some of his colors after taking a workshop with him- and subject matter.
I’ve always been visually attracted to subjects I’d never think of painting-photography being a parellel pursuit-but my last several out door scenes speak of Colin’s choice of subject by design and color possibility. He is brilliant and a nice guy too ;-)

Yes! And anyone lucky enough to get in his workshop will have a great time and learn a lot! Great to hear of your experience with Colin! When I try to paint everything has to be just right… and I’ll spend forever finding just the right thing to paint, then it’s time to clean up, ha ha… after watching Colin I know it’s possible to paint ANYTHING (as long as it is done well) and it can be a huge success!!
