My work explores the relationship of forms, textures and color in the everyday world. Many of my images are extractions from an old building, a distorted reflection, an architectural detail and the juxtaposition of adjoining buildings. I use these to create abstract geometrical images. I also have always been interested in landscapes. Besides understanding composition, a big part of capturing landscapes is being in the right place at the right time.

Rhino, Oil Painting by Don Webb

Oil Painting by Don Webb

The passion and love for art dates back to my early childhood. Though my efforts focused on art in high school and college, I was encouraged to pursue an engineering degree. Eventually, I began to work toward making art my full time profession, producing a greater quality of realism. The most important quality of oil is its transparency. The old masters added thin layers of transparent color to get the illusion of depth . I work in this wonderful, though time consuming manner, which is rarely used in today’s market. Thank you for visiting this web site.

Linda Wilmes, New Guest Artist at Gateway Gallery July 5 - August 17

Sidewalk Artist, Pastel by Linda Wilmes

Purple Passion, Watercolor by Linda Wilmes

Being a self taught and long time artist, I have painted and learned from all mediums, and continue to work primarily in watercolor and pastel.  I use pastels primarily in my Plein Air painting, and watercolor, being so very compelling, pulls and draws in with  it's  passionate and surprising characteristics.  

Being a member of several art organizations, I will be teaching classes in drawing and painting this fall, at the St. Peters Arts Centre and in my home based studio, in Wentzville, Mo.

GATEWAY GALLERY IN CLAYTON PRESENTS
 “Silhouettes Tell Stories”, July 5 – August 17, 2012
Opening reception held for the artist 6-9 p.m. July 20
(Clayton, MO/April 13) Gateway Gallery “Silhouettes Tell Stories” exhibit is about the simple but elegant shapes Joyce Yarbrough cuts with her scissors.  In addition, guest artists Linda Wilmes’ paintings and Greg Kluempers’ photography will be on display. This show runs July 5 through Aug 17 with an opening reception from 6 to 9 pm on Friday, July 20 at 21 North Bemiston Ave, Clayton.
            Yarbrough’s contour “drawings” emulate shadows to convey the mystery or mood by their basic mass.  Naked silhouettes capture the essence of elegant simplicity to tell a story, often without color or detail, whether the art is a feature cut with fine detail, a child’s profile, or a botanically correct silhouette.  A few of the places her work has been shown and collected include the St. Louis Art Museum, museums in China, Pennsylvania and Germany.

After graduation from Missouri University, Yarbrough worked at Hallmark Cards as she continued her studies at Kansas City Art Institute. Traveling to China and Poland has expanded Joyce's view of the world and the heritage of other countries. Throughout her career she has worked in the arts - as a graphic artist, illustrator, art director, marketing coordinator and gallery owner.

Along with her murals, Linda Wilmes is an accomplished Plein Air painter, participating in many of the onsite Plein Air competitions. Her paintings display vivid color, sparkling sunlight and mysterious shadow.  Greg Kluempers’ photography explores the relationship of forms, textures and colors of the everyday world, sometimes creating abstract geometrical images.
