Artist\u2019s Evening <\/b><\/h3>\n

5-7PM \/ Wood River Fine Arts \/ Ketchum<\/em><\/p>\n

Nationally renowned artist Michael Lynch draws professional artists from around the country to Ketchum for a plein air workshop sponsored by Wood River Fine Arts. The Denver-based artist will be in Ketchum for a five-day artist\u2019s workshop beginning on Wednesday, June 15. Wood River Fine Arts will host an artist\u2019s evening on Friday, June 17, at the gallery located in The Courtyard building at 360 East Avenue in Ketchum.<\/p>\n

\"Artist\u2019s<\/p>\n

Michael Lynch\u2019s distinctive painting style and masterful brushwork is admired by collectors and artists from around the country. The ethereal mood of Lynch\u2019s work is a masterful blend of subtle color and an exquisite sense of value. Light seems to infuse the artist\u2019s work, whether it be a winter snow scene in Colorado or a dramatic coastal seascape from northern California. Lynch\u2019s credentials include exhibiting at the annual Prix de West Show in Oklahoma City and the Coors Invitational in Denver.<\/p>\n

The workshop is a unique opportunity for students to learn from Michael Lynch and paint alongside seasoned professionals like Jill Carver and Kathryn Stats, who will be attending to expand their own personal knowledge and mastery of painting. Kathryn Stats was the instructor for Wood River Fine Arts\u2019 inaugural workshop last June and is represented by the gallery in Ketchum. Jill Carver will be returning to Ketchum this fall as the featured instructor for the next gallery-sponsored workshop.<\/p>\n

\u201cWood River Fine Arts is so excited to host these events in Ketchum,\u201d says gallery owner Tom Bassett. \u201cBringing the greatest landscape painters working today to southcentral Idaho was an early goal when Sandy Gregorak and I first opened the gallery. The workshops have made a significant contribution to the art scene in Ketchum. The idea truly became reality when we met Kathryn Riedinger, whose tremendous energy and support have made these events possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
