About the Artist:
Born 1878, died 1949 in Boulder, Colorado
Adma Kerr came to Denver in the 1920s, when her work in Chicago and Washington D.C. had already made her a successful regional artist. She lived and worked in Denver until 1934, when she moved to Estes Park. There she continued to pursue her interest in Colorado landscapes and share ideas with other regional painters. She was a founding member of the Colorado Artist’s Guild, formed in 1928, and exhibited at the Denver Art Museum in 1926, 1936, and 1937. In 1942 she moved to Boulder, where she remained until the end of her life.
Kerr’s landscapes, usually in oil or pastels, tend towards coniferous mountain scenes painted with wide strokes of saturated color. Five of her regional works were recently acquired by the Estes Park Museum, where they are part of the permanent collection.
Exhibited: Society of Washington Artists, 1916; Denver Art Museum, 1926, 1936, 1937 (all solo exhibitions).

- Coming In & Going Out ( Plein Air Landscape painting green yellow colors)By Jane ChapinLocated in Cody, WYThis is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...Category
