A new year is here
and it is time to catch up with you on the upcoming events and news. The previous year seemed to fly by,
particularly the last few holiday months.
January is nearly over and there seems to be no slowing down with
'Father Time' in the upcoming year.
With this in mind, I thought I would share a new tiding before it
becomes 'old news'. I was honored
and humbled to have a feature articletitled 'Engaging the Senses' in the
January issue of Southwest Art Magazine.
The publication is top notch and is one that I subscribe to and always
look forward to receiving. The
interview was quite interesting with the well known freelance writer Norman
Kolpas from Los Angeles. His calm
demeanor yet searching questions meandered through our conversation while he
clacked away with a shorthand form of typing which you could audibly hear. You would have thought it was morse
code he was transcribing in an emergency situation! He was kind to make sure I felt comfortable and at ease with
every response, and I appreciated that.
My thanks go out to the him, and especially the editors and friends at
the magazine for this opportunity.
The online
version of the article can be found at this link:
For those in the 'Centennial State' I am preparing for
a two man show with my good friend Eric Jacobsen at the Cogswell Gallery in
Vail, Colorado. We will be in
attendance for the opening nights on March 15th & 16th and would love to
see you if you are in the area. I
will be sure to send out another follow up newsletter in March regarding the
shows invitation and opening. Here
are a few of the paintings that will be on exhibit in the show and are of the
local Vail scenery.

I am also preparing
for my Solo show at the Art on the Boulevard Gallery in Vancouver, WA on June
7th. In conjunction with the show
I will be holding a 2 day intensive Oregon plein air painting workshop on June
8th & 9th. The weather is
always beautiful during this time with the skies finally opening up to be blue
and the blooming flowers in full array.
The workshop is limited to 15 students to ensure individual attention
and is $250 for both days. If you
are interested in securing a registered slot, please contact me at mitch@mitchbaird.com.
I will send out another newsletter announcement as we draw closer to the
dates with more details.
I hope the New
Year will bring you success, as well as perseverance in keeping those New
Year's resolutions!! I hope
to cross paths with you again and this year and all the best from the studio.
