Leon Loughridge Paintings

American, b. 1952
Raised on a ranch outside of Santa Fe, Leon grew up surrounded by the rich artistic traditions of Northern New Mexico. His earliest influences came from his grandmother, who was deeply involved in the region’s art circles and introduced him to a community of Taos and Santa Fe artists. Under their guidance, he began developing the foundations of his craft. When his family moved to Colorado at age 15—the home of his great‑grandfather—Leon carried those early lessons with him, later refining his skills through study at the Colorado Institute of Art and additional private instruction. During his service in the army, Leon was stationed in Germany, an experience that broadened his artistic perspective. Extensive travel throughout Europe exposed him to centuries of artistic heritage, and he spent two years studying the painting techniques of the old masters. His time culminated in copying a Franz Hals work at the Stuttgart Staatsgalerie, a formative milestone. Already drawn to pen and ink, he developed a deeper appreciation for etching through the museum’s exceptional print collection. Leon has continued to expand his printmaking expertise and now owns a publishing company specializing in high‑quality, hand‑printed art editions for artists and commercial clients. He and his wife also operate a gilding studio, where they produce and restore hand‑carved gold‑leaf frames for museums and collectors, preserving the craftsmanship and traditions that have shaped his artistic life.

Girl at the Beach with wide Brim Hat

Girl at the Beach with wide Brim Hat

By Bernie Fuchs

Located in Miami, FL

Wonderful 60's chic is on full display in this beach scene. It's masterfully designed. The beautiful model horizontally fills the center space while supporting players fill background spaces. The style is very flat with lots of gray muting the colors and defining the artist's palette. Fuch's was a giant talent who is overlooked by today's art world participants. His style could be described as a post-post impressionist. This particular work is so deftly designed and exhibits the most intriguing positive and negative spaces. The model is rendered with loose, quick and authoritative brush strokes which give an air of chic confidence. Most of all, it's her dreamy blue eyes that truly captivate the viewer. All parts of the eye ( Iris, Pupil, Sclera ) are composed of a soft robin's egg blue which is in counterpoint the pink day-glow color on her lips. She looks at you. You look back and the process is repeated and repeated. Fuch's not just a great painter, designer, academic artist but a brilliant and innovative colorist as well. To demonstrate how great this simple work is, out of a world population of 7.2 billion people, as a betting man, I would say there may be no other artist who could render a scene this good. An artist such as Peter Doig, who does nice and beautiful work, may come close to the talent of Fuchs. Bernard Fuchs American, 1932 - 2009 Girl at the Beach...
