A Treasure Trove Discovery!

3/17/2023

With a little luck, we celebrate St. Patrick's Day by sharing our discovered pot of gold... over 140 never before shown Lu Haskew paintings.

While cleaning out a storage room, Lu's son, Denny, uncovered 5 boxes filled with Lu's paintings. They were packed away from her studio when she fell ill, then forgotten. Lu was a prolific artist, prioritizing her time to paint 5 days a week, so it is no surprise that so many paintings remained in her studio from her final couple years. Most are unframed, and because her preferred substrate was canvas mounted on gator board, dozens of paintings fit in each box.

We are making these final paintings available for purchase, exclusively on our online store. Enter code: TreasureTrove at checkout for a special incentive through the end of the month.

We have 40 additional portraits that we are still documenting. If you have interest in these, please contact us and we'll send you notice once they have been uploaded.

A portion of each sale benefits the Lu Haskew Endowment for the Arts, funding art supplies and scholarships in the Thompson School District where she taught.

About Lu Haskew:
Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career that lasted 17-years. Beginning in 1992, she studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art School and the Loveland Academy of Fine Arts. Her devotion to painting kept her busy attending numerous painters’ workshops each year; she never stopped learning, even when she became the teacher once again. She helped numerous students learn the art of painting at a community art league, as well as the Loveland Academy of Fine Art.

Lu considered it a must to work from live models once or twice a week, and she thoroughly enjoyed portrait work. Her true passion was floral still-life. using material from her own beautifully landscaped garden to create stunning settings. Fruit, vessels and antiquities compliment her many still life paintings, and landscapes rounded out an extensive portfolio.

Following her passing in 2009, her family started the Lu Haskew Endowment for the Arts, funding art supplies and scholarships in the Thompson School District where she taught. Proceeds from Lu's artwork continues to benefit this program, a legacy that continues her life-long efforts to promote the love of art and learning.

Artist Statement:
"Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons."

New Teresa Vito's in the Gallery

6/30/2021

We were running low due to recent sales (yay!), so Teresa Vito stopped by and filled our walls back up! She brought us some really great paintings that cover the gamut of subject and style. Fresh flowers painted in her garden, a beautiful blue bird and Colorado landscapes; plus a couple fun still life's with a touch of nostalgia.

The finished piece "Unbridled" is available through our store. Because custom framing is tough these days, it is being sold unframed

This is a challenge with my grandson who likes to draw. The challenge was to draw or paint a portrait that speaks to this time in history we are living through. He is a senior. I have not seen his yet! It is a fun yet poignant challenge.

"I am trying to keep my students painting while we cannot physically get together. For April, we had an assignment to paint one subject three times with different lighting. Below are my three examples.

If you like any of these paintings, they are also available in our new preorder section of the store.

Old House: Sunrise

Old House: overcast

Old House: nocturne

For the month of May we are going to paint a white on white subject of your choice.

Anyone is welcome to join in! I will critique paintings if anyone needs that! If you're interested, just contact the gallery and they will put you in touch with me.

Neptune's Brigade

9/27/2019

Check out #LeoEOsborne’s “Neptune’s Brigade” in its new spot in the gallery.
.
It’s a spectacular wall piece, more than the simple definition of a painting.... The modular use of multiple canvases gives this piece a great dimension and presence. The grid adds to the pattern and repetition of the painted turtles. And the gold leaf has a life of its own as it picks up the changing light of the day. The painting has a great energy.

Jean Perry in Art of the West

2/21/2019

Columbine's Jean Perry is featured in the current Art of the West magazine. We just got our copies and it's stunning. Her beautiful landscapes lift off the pages, and the written word provides more depth to the imagery she creates.

"I think my years of abstract design have helped me to organize a good landscape."

We urge you to pick up a magazine to see the full article. And stop by the gallery to see her work in person.

Wildlife sculpture by AMY LAUGESEN available at Columbine Gallery home of the National Sculptors' Guild Colorado's Largest Fine Art Source Specialists in Public Art
Laugesen’s fragmented animal abstracts create a statement housed in both an ancient and contemporary context. She has successfully taken on the ambitious task to capture and translate the delicate beauty of the raku-fired ceramics into monumental forms.
“The horse is a magnificent creature, historic icon and my longtime muse. To unearth the form of the horse within clay is to recognize the enduring nature of this powerful, beautiful animal and its importance in the history of our civilization. This process of discovering the essence of a horse within the “mud” and transforming this into contemporary ceramic artworks remains my great joy and artistic passion.”
Amy Laugesen is a Colorado native. Examples of her work can be found in various private and public collections around the country.
“The intention of my work is to capture the essence of spirit, movement, and timeless story in the sculptural forms I create. The Horse, as form and function, is a reoccurring theme in my mixed media sculptures and large-scale commissioned public artworks. Often the sculptures appear broken or weathered like objects of antiquity. Smaller works are ceramic and the unique colors are achieved through the unpredictable nature of the Raku reduction firing process. For me, the Raku technique brings the artworks to life.”

Painting by DANIEL AUGENSTEIN available at Columbine Gallery Colorado's Largest Fine Art Source Specialists in Public Art and Home Decor
With subject matter and media as varied as his experiences he was deeply impacted by the 10 months that he lived in Tuscany, Italy. Dan favors classic shapes and moody landscapes. The light of New Mexico and the southwestern region reminiscent of Italy also enters into his motifs.
“I remember drawing as a four year-old. Licking the tip of the red color pencil made a more intense red as I drew my tree! In seventh grade, I was given a set of oil paints for a Christmas present. My mom showed me what she had learned about painting a still life in an evening class. In 1973 and 1974, while an art student at the University of Northern Colorado, I had the chance to study in Florence, Italy for 10 months. That influence changed my life in many ways. Following graduation, I began teaching art in the public school. From drawing, to printmaking, to ceramics, to painting, my experiences broadened and I fell "head over heels" infatuated with mark making. I have found that my brushes and pencils create the same endless variety of marks just as the world surrounding me displays an endless variety of life. I find whimsical lines of energy in my paintings begin to imitate the energy that I sense around me. I have fallen in love with my brush! My subject matter and media reflect over forty years of sharing a wide range of artistic adventures with my students in public school and at the college where I currently teach. Every new medium still represents another possible right answer to some yet unanswered query and another journey to some adventure.“ -Dan Augenstein

Abstract sculpture by JOE NORMAN available at Columbine Gallery home of the National Sculptors' Guild Colorado's Largest Fine Art Source Specialists in Public Art
I enjoy honest welds and allen head bolts, the joy of struggle and walnut oil on smooth sanded wood. My best work has regret and relief and sometimes I throw wrenches.
I steal natural shapes for my sculpture. Animal bones and river stones feel familiar in my gut. They’re all over the place, and they’re beautiful.
I take emotional resonance and apply it to beautiful shapes. The right emotion AND the right shape just might be powerful to the right person. Maybe it is a small example of how to practice BOTH AND in addition to EITHER OR.
My intent is to make art that contributes to a wider conversation about justice and care and our impact on the world. I hope it helps people think and be happy; I hope it helps people be important to each other.
-- Joe Norman, 2018
When you support my artwork, be proud that it helps fund my continued investment in the Human Rights Campaign and the National Park Service.
Joe Norman graduated with a degree in engineering from Stanford University prior to careers in product design consulting, education, and fine art. His furniture and sculpture explore environments that support and promote communities. Many of his designs are direct results of working with schools, families, and businesses to develop places that encourage people to work and be together in positive and supportive ways.
Joe believes that gathering places feed the soul of our communities; that it is around our kitchens or with our feet propped up on coffee tables that we have some of our most important conversations. He thinks the most important part of his work isn’t the tables he makes, but rather it is about the people that are sitting around them. In other words, we do not need more stuff in our lives that does not bring us together in community.
Joe’s furniture is made with recycled and environmentally conscious processes and materials whenever possible; he considers the earth itself as an important member of our global community. In fact, many of his ideas in were born from wrecking yards, recycling centers, and retired bicycles. His machine shop is powered by renewable wind energy.

Oil painting by GARY MILLER available at Columbine Gallery Colorado's Largest Fine Art Source Specialists in Public Art and Home Decor
Being an admirer of Mother Nature, Gary is inspired by the roaring waterfalls, bugling elk, and mountain vistas that have surrounded him most of his life. Primarily an oil painter; his landscapes and wildlife paintings reflect this appreciation.
Gary Miller was born in Oklahoma, but moved to Pueblo, Colorado at an early age. As a child, Gary found immense pleasure in painting and drawing. What started as a recreational activity soon blossomed into a lifelong passion. Gary worked with Union Pacific Railroad after receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree from Southern Colorado State College in 1972 (now Colorado State University – Pueblo). He retired from the railroad in 2010 and began painting full time. In 1987, the Colorado Cattleman’s Association magazine, “The Cattle Guard”, featured Gary’s painting on its cover. Over the years he has been widely collected and has shown in galleries throughout Colorado; as well as Taos, New Mexico; Oklahoma; Kansas; and Wyoming. One of Gary’s painting is displayed in the visitor center of the Japanese sister city to Abilene, Kansas. He now resides in the mountains west of Fort Collins, Colorado with his wife, Tammie, in a home they built together.

2017 Artist to Watch Mark Bailey

12/22/2016

A Night Out by Mark Bailey

Congratulations to Columbine Gallery's painter Mark Bailey selected by Southwest Art Magazine as 1 of 10 'Artists to Watch in 2017' featured in the January issue on newsstands now. click here for the full article

"Mark Andrew Bailey refuses to be pigeonholed when it comes to defining his style.....

...Using a music analogy, he compares the brush stroke to a note, and the way each note is played is what creates the complexity or interest in a piece....

...'I’m drawn to the human element and subject matter that is easily relatable,” he says, then adds, “A lot of art has gone negative and dark, but I have always wanted to create things that bring people joy.”...
