The voyage itself began on Saturday, April 13 at Union Station in Chicago as six celebrated American representational outdoor painters boarded the Southwest Chief to begin the 2,265-mile journey. The plan was to make stops in La Junta, Trinidad, Raton, Las Vegas, Lamy and then do a show [in Santa Fe]. The traveling painters—Aimee Erikson, Charlie Hunter, Shelby Keefe, Larry Moore, Randell Sexton and Jason Sacran—would then continue on to Winslow to stay and paint at La Posada through Easter, then on to Los Angeles before finally ending their trip with a panel discussion about the trip at the eighth annual Plein Air Convention in the San Francisco Bay area.

“In painting, I continue to be spellbound by imagery both in the natural world around us and by the magical inner world of emotion and poetry,” says Fatima Ronquillo. The Santa Fe artist’s solo show, Spellbound,opens on May 17^thas a celebration of the beloved pictorial themes Ronquillo has revisited over the past decade through her work. These themes are also documented in the publication of her first retrospective book of the same title, which will be available for pre-sale at the exhibition opening. This unique exhibition reflects on Ronquillo’s career thus far with an excited look toward the future, as it features new paintings that touch on each celebrated theme.

Meyer Gallery is proud to now be representing Salt Lake City artist Eric G. Thompson. Thompson’s contemporary realist landscape, figurative and still life compositions capture quiet moments of a simpler life from vacant rural landscapes to lonely weathered objects. His pieces capture the peaceful feeling of time spent alone or the emotional tug of fading memories. Thompson works in watercolor, oil and most distinctly, egg tempera. The latter is medium that has been used for centuries to create jewel-like artworks from an emulsion of pigment and egg yolk.

“I find that poetry is synonymous with my style of composition and work,” says Lewis. “My paintings have always been simple, and I admire the simplicity of haiku style poetry.”

“I want to express the idea that reality is more fluid. Though my eye and mind may focus on one thing in a scene, in reality all else is soft, interpenetrating in motion.”
