Artist Lecture at Trinidad State Boyd TCRM building (and virtual!)

Frank La Lumia, “From Dawn to Dusk”

Frank’s discussion, given by his wife, Paula Little, will show how light affects outdoor watercolor painting, morning, noon, and night. Frank traveled the world, chasing down the light for 50 great years. The talk will include photos of paintings from China, Mexico, Guatemala, India, Morocco, the U.S., Turkey, the Caribbean, and more. The presentation will be a small selection of the 1,000 pieces which will hang in the A.R. MItchell Museum Feb-Mar.

In Plein Air Painting, everything can, and does happen! This will be illustrated with the regaling of a few quirky incidents, which occurred while painting. How does a person get the courage to fly to an exoitc land with 150 lbs of equipment and start painting the local scene? Some people are travelers and some are not. When you combine the wanderlust of travel and painting, this is the result.

Advice will be given to the neophyte plein air painter, the collector, with a question and answer period.

3/5/26 5:30-6:30pm
