Supply List

Photographs

• We will be painting a landscape. You are free to add people or animals if you like, but our main objective is landscape painting.
• You will be painting from a photograph. I will be bringing photographs you can use that have good composition and will make a good painting. You are free to bring your own photographs. If you don’t have one you like, try searching through websites that provide copyright-free, royalty-free photographs that are in the public domain. Such websites include pixabay.com and unsplash.com.
• To save time, you may find it helpful to enlarge your photo to match the size of your canvas. Local places like Copy Corner will do that at low cost.

About the Artist

As her dad’s cowhand, June grew up on her family’s quintessential Texas ranch that has been in her family for over a hundred years and has been recognized by the state as a “Texas Century Ranch”.  She grew up riding horses and working cattle with her dad loving every minute of it.  She & her husband raised their family on that same land which has nurtured her passion for her art giving her the subjects she loves and paints.  Her paintings depict her sensitive sense of color plus the strong feelings she has for her subjects.  Her desire is to capture the subjects she paints with the passion she feels for them while creating a mood that the viewers share.  She loves painting Western landscapes and figurative pieces.

Her many awards include the Jones Award, Gold Award (judged by Oreland Joe), Best of Show, & Popular Choice from the Bosque Art Classic; Best of Show, Gold Award in Acrylics, & Purchase Award at the San Dimas Festival of Arts judged by Alfredo Rodriquez, Award of Excellence (APA Show) plus many others.
