On The Cover
Nancy Whitlock ’ s Sunset Casa Grande
Casa Grande , the mountain , is a favorite subject to paint for Nancy Whitlock . The mountain is located in the Chisos Basin of the Big Bend National Park and is remarkably gorgeous from any view . An avid hiker and observer of nature Nancy has also had the opportunity to fly over Casa Grande in a plane and portray the mountain from that perspective . She has painted it from many perspectives and in many colors ... yet never does she exhaust her desire to paint it again .
Primarily a landscape painter today , Nancy Whitlock did figurative work in oil and watercolor while living in Columbia , Mo . where she finished her MFA degree in 1991 . After falling in love with the Western United States she was not content to live in the Midwest . Moving to Taos N . M . in the 1990s she began experimenting with pastel . Several vacation trips to the Big Bend area of Texas made her decide to move to Alpine in 2006 .
Overwhelmed with the natural beauty of the mountains around Alpine , her primary goal in painting is to express the " feeling of being on top of the mountain ". Pastel helps her express the emotions she feels about her subject because it allows her to retain strong line and vivid color . Determined to learn to draw well and feeling that drawing was the bases for expressing herself , she not only concentrated on learning to draw in College at the University of Missouri in Columbia , Mo ., but also studied drawing at the Ecole Des Beaux-Arts in Aix En Provence , France and at the University in Saarbrucken , Germany . In 2012 she bought a building in Downtown Alpine , built in 1927 , which was the first five and dime in town and is located on 6th Street between Holland and Ave . E . After 6 months of hard labor she renovated the building to exhibit her paintings in the front and created a living space / studio in the back .
Her gallery is open 5 days a week where she can be found working in her studio . Visit Whitlock Studio of Fine Art from 10am to 5pm where you can also see on a large tv screen the videos she makes inspired by the Chihuahuan Desert that include her paintings ... and of course meet the artist . The studio is closed only on Tuesday and Wednesday . Contact Nancy at 432-837-0128 . Whitlock Studio of Fine Art , 110 B N . 6th St ., Alpine , Texas .
