Brian Stewart on the Mississippi

PBS TV Show “Off 90”
KSMQ TV in Austin, MN did a segment on the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, one of the best small market museums in the country. It included me painting and talking about the museum at about the 18 minute mark. It's posted on YouTube @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OeM8N2m-5E. The segment starts about 14 minutes into the program. I hope you check it out.

Over the Wildside, by Brian Stewart

Catalina Conservancy Show
“The Wildside” This coming June is a very exclusive show of plein air work hosted by the Catalina Island Conservancy as a fund raiser. The show is a little different in that is trying to feature paintings from not only the town of Avalon but the wilder, more remote areas of Catalina. Thus the name “The Wildside”. A very select group of only nine artists from around the country are invited. They are: Kenn Backhaus, Bye Bitney, John Budicin, John Cosby, Don Demers, Kevin Macpherson, Joe Paquet, Matt Smith and Iʼm proud to say Myself. The painting above “Over the Wildside” is one of mine from last yearʼs event.

 

 Portrait Sketching - by Brian Stewart

Portrait Sketching
I have resumed an interest of mine - Portrait Sketching. During the winter months in Minnesota, I attend art co-ops that offer one 2 1/2 hour session for a nominal fee. It’s fun and keeps me sharp. Doing a head study in a couple of hours is challenging, but portrait offer things that plein air doesn’t and I feel both compliment one another. Click on the thumbnail to see more.
