Posted on Facebook 3/7/2023

Donald W. Reynolds Serving Baxter County, AR

The Library has 4 new works of art on display (January) through the end of March!

Join us Saturday, March 11th from 10am-12pm for the chance to meet the artists and ask them questions about their work and what inspires them.

Artists include Kathe Altazan, Jessica Blackburn, Deborah Lively & Carol Wulf.

 

March’s featured artist is Kathe Altazan who is exhibiting over fifty landscape paintings and who will be featured at a reception Thursday, March 9 from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. The event is sponsored by The Ozark Regional Arts Council in collaboration with ASU-Mountain Home in the 2nd floor art gallery of The Vada Sheid performing arts center.

Busy in the studio, these paintings are reminders of places I've visited, hiked or kayaked in 2022. Hope you are inspired to spend time outdoors enjoying nature too. I continue to practice with John Pototschnik's "Limited Palette, Unlimited Color" theories to achieve color harmony. I've also been admiring the techniques of some tonalist artists which may be visible in some of these paintings' more atmospheric qualities and muted colors.

These paintings are all for sale in my online storefront/gallery. Click on each painting's title for its full description at www.KatheAltazan.com. Or to visit my gallery in person, email me at KatheAltazan@gmail.com for an appointment. 

Two new paintings

Roark Bluff, at Steel Creek, Ponca, AR,
#148_22-10-22|  36x24”  |  Oil on gallery wrap canvas

 

Roark Bluff is an iconic bluffline along the Buffalo National River near Ponca, AR. At 3/4 mile long and over 200 feet tall, this sheer slab of streaked sandstone towers over the river. From Steel Creek Campground it's a short walk to the river to take in the sights or swim in the Rushing Hole at the base of the bluff. - NPS.gov

Boston Mountain Overlook, Flippin, AR
#149_ 22-11-8 | 24x18” |  Oil on canvas - framed

 

Much of the Boston Mountains are part of the Ozark National Forest. This rugged topography is sparsely populated. Slopes remain forested and are used for timber on a limited basis. Small pastures can be found on the mountain crests and valley bottoms. - Margaret J. Guccione, encyclopediaofarkansas.net  Exact location: Flippin, AR at Hwy 62/412 & Hwy 178

Here’s a peek at two of my newest paintings available for sale online at www.KatheAltazan.com.

One of these, Boston Mountain Overlook, will be available for viewing at the Donald W. Reynolds Baxter County Library from January to April 2023 as part of its Visiting Art on Display ongoing exhibition. Stop in if you have a chance. 

To view Roark Bluff and more, visit my in-person studio/gallery by emailing me at KatheAltazan@gmail.com for an appointment.  

I hope you enjoy viewing some of these larger paintings referenced by previous hikes, water hikes, and adventures in these great Arkansas Ozarks.
