The Paint & Clay Podcast is back and today we have a special guest in the studio: Colorado artist Lorenzo Chavez! In this episode, Lorenzo and Gabor offer you a road map to simplifying the subject(s) of your painting.  About the Artist: Lorenzo Chavez's 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.
