About the Item

"Hazy Day Hikers" is a plein air pastel painting by Cotati, CA based artist Clark Mitchell. This sublime piece depicts an aerial trail side view of a mountain side. Off in the distance, are hikers taking in the beautiful sunny day. Purple mountains sit quietly against a gold late afternoon sky. This piece comes with an ornate gold frame and is ready to hang. Artwork measurements are: Unframed: 9"w x 12"h Framed: 12.5"w x 15.5"h About the Artist: Growing up in the shadow of the Rockies, Clark Mitchell very early discovered a love of the natural world. Given a set of fine old German pastels by his father when quite young, he quickly embraced the medium for its ease of handling, brilliance of color and portability. He received a bachelor’s degree in art from Colorado College in the seventies and moved to San Francisco to continue his studies at the Academy of Art College. Through personal exploration as well as study with artists Albert Handell, Skip Whitcomb, Michael Lynch and Bill Hook, Mitchell has developed the talent to create both tightly rendered scenes as well as looser, more abstract suggestions. In order to fully immerse himself in the countryside he loved to portray, Mitchell left San Francisco with his partner over thirty years ago and moved north to the beautiful Sonoma County wine country. Painting expeditions throughout the state as well as across the country continue to provide challenge as well as inspiration. Mitchell has been designated a Master Pastelist by the Pastel Society of America and a Distinguished Pastelist by the Pastel Society of the West Coast, and he recently earned Signature Member status with the Laguna Plein Air Painters of America. He has received numerous awards in local as well as national competitions and has oil and pastel paintings included in art collections internationally. Awards: 2011 "Best of Show" in the Maui Plein Air Painting Invitational. 2011 Cover artist for The Pastel Journal’s June issue. 2009 Cover artist of Southwest Art’s annual landscape issue. 2008 Chosen as poster artist for the Sedona Plein Air Festival. 2005 "Best of Show" award at the Laguna Plein Air Invitational. 1993 Cover artist for American Artist’s March issue.
