March 4th: First Tuesday

Guest Speaker: Stephen Datz,
"Geometric Impressionism" plein-air oil painter

Artist Stephen Datz outside painting on easel

Stephen was introduced to the technique of plein-air oil painting in 1995 at a workshop taught by noted painter Skip Whitcomb, and he adopted this methodology enthusiastically. Over the next three years, Stephen received additional instruction from Ned Jacob, Dan Young, Hollis Williford and Michael J. Lynch, and he worked in the field daily. By 1999, he had completed about 2,000 paintings in the field. Represented by galleries in Carbondale and Denver, Stephen had his first solo exhibition in Denver in 1999. He has been earning his living behind his easel ever since.


"Tanque Verde Treasure" 10"x8" oil


Dubbed “geometric impressionism” by a long-time friend and collector, Stephen’s vibrant and distinctive paintings are characterized by his confident, angular brushwork, dynamic color harmonies and strong, insightful compositions that emphasize the unique character of each subject. He describes each painting as a journey of discovery – an effort to create an evocative glimpse into the essential nature of both subject and artist.
