Connie L. Morse

"I feel that my art communicates my love for nature and the beauty that has been my pleasure to paint. For many years nature has been my instructor and the outdoors my studio."--Connie L. Morse

Connie L. Morse works primarily in oil, and her bold brush strokes and brilliant use of color make her style distinctive and appealing. Her paintings involve the viewer with a sense of freedom to interpret and explore a visual adventure.
Connie has had a lifelong passion for plein air painting, which gives her the ability to accurately portray the colors and designs of a multitude of landscapes. Her many years of ranch life give Connie's western paintings true authenticity and feeling.

"Connie has a combination of spontaneity and control in her brush strokes that takes years of experience to achieve" Professor, Lewis Martsolf Cicotelo

Dave Sime

 

  "My feeling and enthusiasm for the creative process begins with my love for the natural environment." I want my paintings and sculptures to communicate a sense of the story, attitude, time, and place that bond the artist and viewer in an emotional response." Dave Sime 

Dave's sculpture "Silent Watch" is featured in the March issue of Cowboys and Indians magazine, in an article written by arts editor Charlotte Berney.

"Dave Sime has a deep sense of feeling, knowledge, and enthusiasm for both watercolor painting, and sculpture. He has spent a lifetime studying, sketching, painting and sculpting his western, Indian, wildlife, and landscape subjects. This allows him to sculpt clean lines and fluid forms into earthbound shapes that interpret the human or animal form. 
His subjects include Native Americans, wildlife and landscapes. His sculptures of Native Americans are expressive and display emotion as well as attention to detail, while those of wildlife have a dynamic quality."
