Lorenzo is a well-known figure in the pastel world here in Colorado. The following paragraph is from Lorenzo’s website:
“Lorenzo Chavez was born and raised in the southern-most point of the Rockies in New Mexico. His first inspirations and foundation as a young artist were formed by the local landscape and the art history in New Mexico. Lorenzo now makes his home in Parker, Colorado and uses this location as a base to travel and paint the American West and Southwest. Through the years, while searching for subject matter, he realized there are many similarities throughout the Rockies. The deep blue of the vaulting sky, majestic cloud formations, rabbit brush, chamisa, pinon, pine and juniper, the willows that line the stream banks, the granite in the mountain ranges, aspens and the endless seas of grasses are continuing inspirations.”
Lorenzo has a long list of international, national, and local representation and awards – a listing of professional accomplishments can be found on his website www.lorenzochavez.com
The workshop will be plein air, and will be held at the S-Cross Ranch in the Glade Park area, south of Grand Junction. (In the event of bad weather, there will be an indoor location available). It’s a unique and bucolic location – irrigated pasture and old buildings and ranching equipment, surrounded by the high desert cliff formations typical of the Uncompaghre plateau. There will be many opportunities for painting, complete with instruction provided by one of the masters of painting the desert landscape typical to this part of Colorado.
Also please note – lodging options in the Glade Park area are limited to camping. The closest hotels are in Grand Junction.
