We had a fantastic weekend at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome with our Color of Flight workshop. One of the highlights was having James Gurney and his wife Jeanette come out and join us on Friday. James is the author not only of the Dinotopia series, but also of "Color and Light" and Imaginative Realism", two must have instructional books for any representational artist. I made a point to do a quick interview with him.

I'll be posting more pictures this week and I'll be putting together a longer video of the weekend at some point, but for now here is the interview with James Gurney.

When was the last time 3 rotary engine triplanes took to the air???? 1918 maybe?

I’m pretty excited that for the next 5 months I will be sharing a studio/gallery space with fellow artists Tammy Tappan and Pat Siuda at the Equine Instincts Gallery at the Tryon International Equestrian Center in Tryon, NC. Yesterday I spent several hours out at the TIEC as Tammy, Pat, and I rearranged the space to suit our needs and to make the most attractive and inviting gallery experience possible. We three have different styles and approaches to our art, but our art works well together and I am very excited to be working and showing alongside these two women. We actually have double coverage at the TIEC since we also feature work in the Equestrian Artists of Tryon next door. Original artwork and fine art reproductions are available for viewing and purchase in both galleries. My primary studio is still here in my home, but I will be spending a lot of weekends between now and the end of the year at the Equine Instincts Gallery so that I can make the most of this experience that I can, especially in October, November, and December. I’ll post a tentative schedule when I can. The Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort (TIEC) is the ultimate destination for all who love horses, outdoor living, and an active lifestyle. Home of the FEI World Equestrian Games™ Tryon 2018, TIEC offers first-class facilities for equestrian events of all levels and disciplines. Located in the Blue Ridge Foothills of Mill Spring, NC, the competition experience is complemented by diverse onsite restaurants, a variety of shops, galleries, relaxing lodging getaways, family entertainment, and more. #artofthewest #russellsmith #russellsmithart #russellsmithstudios #earlyaviation #westernart #westernartist #aviationart #aviationartist #airplaneart #equestrianart #equestrianartist #cowboyart #cowboy #paintingtheoldwest #collectwesternart #artist #northcarolinaartist #paintingthewest #paintingairplanes #oilpainting #fineart #artoninstagram #oldwest #oldairplanes #horseart #horse

I’m creating a longer start-to-finish painting video for this piece, but for now here is a short preview taken from what I’ve completed so far on this piece. #russellsmith #russellsmithart #russellsmithstudios #aviationart #aviationartist #airplaneart #oilpainting #WWI #worldwarone #thegreatwar #greatwaraviation #earlyaviation #northcarolinaartist #biplane #fokker #rfc #Bristol #Bristfit #BristolF2b #fokkertriplane #fokkerdr1 #collectaviationart #historicalart #artist #paintingairplanes #iloveairplanes #fineart #artonistagram #overthefront
