San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

I recently went on a trip to San Miguel de Allende with a group of 15 artists.  Frank Gardner put the whole trip together for us, including finding us a great place to stay, Casa Heyne.  The villa was great, approx 16,ooo sq ft., with a cooking and cleaning staff.  We were very spoiled.  Paintings from this trip will be in two exhibitions in February.  The first is on February 12th at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, in Dennis, MA.  The second show is at Addison Art Gallery on February 13th, in Orleans, MA.  The following pictures are in no particular order, all of the artists in the photos should have links to the right of the page, if not write me and ask for their websites.

American Art Collector October 2009 Issue

"Clouds Over the Sea" oil/canvas -12x16 - sold www.addisonart.com

It has been a while since I have posted anything. Just wanted to mention that I have an article in the October 2009 issue of American Art Collector. The article features some of my North Eastern Fisherman paintings. Here are a couple to give you an idea of what they look like.

"Mackerel Dip Net" oil/linen 12x12 - SOLD

FIGURE PAINTING WORKSHOP AROUND THE CORNER!

"Clearing Storm" oil on linen 18x24

I will be teaching a Figure Painting Workshop that will focus on painting the figure outdoors.  We will study color and value in this class.  Since light moves so fast, we won't focus as much on composition or drawing.  Instead we will focus on making studies from life.  Drawing and composition should be studied for years and take a long time to develop.  So does color and value study, but I feel like this is something that is possible to teach in a short workshop like this.  I hope that my students will take something valuable from this class and ideas in this class will be the starting point to painting great color from life! If you are interested in this class please visit www.paam.org to get more info.  The dates are August 10th-12th, the cost of the class is $350.  I will be painting demos and working with students.

Hope to see you there!

Scott Burdick Painting Available - Sale will go to Cancer Treatment payments.

"Planting Time" oil, 20" by 16" by Scott Burdick $5,000

Here is the text from http://www.scottburdick.com/ please pass this message along:

This painting was sold a few years ago, but the man who bought it recently found out he has cancer and is trying to raise money to pay for the hospital treatments he'll need. Sadly, he's always had medical insurance through his work, but recently switched from one company to another. Even though there was no gap when he wasn't covered, his new insurance company says his cancer is a pre-existing condition so won't pay for it. If anyone is interested in this painting, just contact Germanton Gallerywww.germantongallery.com Germanton, NC (336) 969-6121

This is just up the road from his house house on Flat Shoals Road. The farmers are planting Tobacco with the Quaker Gap Baptist Church in the background.

Sorrow

New painting

"By the Church Gate" oil on panel 18x24
available at John B. Strong Fine Art, Sante Fe NM.


It has been a while since I have posted anything. My show in Arizona went well, we saw some red dots which is a good thing. I don't have to much to report, I just finished this painting "By the Church Gate". It was a fun one to paint. Oh, I started moving into my new studio and have done a handful of paintings there. It is nice and big so I am excited to start some big paintings. Keep your eyes peeled for a Studio Opening Party Date sometime in June.

I will be teaching classes there once or twice a month (starting in June). The classes will be like mini workshops, they will be a full day with a demo in the first part of the day and then personal instruction while you paint during the second half. If interested email me for more info at Logan@LoganHagege.com

Solo Exhibition - Scottsdale, Arizona

Poster for Solo Exhibit $50 available at John B. Strong Fine Art


Lindsey and I are gearing up for our quick trip to Scottsdale, Arizona for my Solo Exhibition at John B. Strong Fine Art. I have been preparing for this show for months, it is quite a relief to be done with the paintings and to have everything at the gallery.


"Mesa Shadows" oil on panel 20x16
"Dark Mesa" ink on paper 7x8


I did 20 paintings for this show, all of the work is Southwestern subject matter. The funny thing is that half of the show was painted in the North East. But I enjoy being able to take trips into the Southwest, and do tons of studies outdoors and take a lot of photos, and then retreating to the North East to do my studio work. When I get back to the North East it feels like a different world, but it allows me to paint freely without too much outside influence from the Southwest.

"Mother and Child" pencil/paper 8x7.5
"Blue Bandana" oil on canvas 10x8
"Along the Mesa" gouache on paper 5x7


The artwork was done in a variety of mediums. I always enjoy going to shows that have a few drawings, some oils, and some water media. So I tried my best to do a variety of things so everyone who sees the show will enjoy it.
I tried something new at this show too. I designed a poster and printed up about 50 of them, that we will be selling at the show. They are all hand silk-screened, I look forward to seeing the public reaction to the posters. I had a good time designing it.


To see the work visit www.JohnBStrong.com or www.LoganHagege.com

The show opens February 26th 7-9pm. I hope to see anyone who can make it!
