Our 1st Promotion as then newly appointed Director in 2015
"14 Years and Counting"
Reflections on a Collection of Plein Air works starting in 2014
Combined with numerous works for sale, we have Plein Air paintings on display representing those personal purchases made of participating artists work's during my tenure as Director of Brush Creek Art Walk. As both Director and Sponsor for the last 10 years I've had the luxury to meet and work alongside many amazing artists and talented supporters for the visual arts in Kansas City and I've also delved into purchasing a few amazing originals in the process. 17 unique original works from the last decade represent not only the friendships I've made but amazing purchases of timeless memories in artworks that will last a lifetime.
To support this effort I have asked my fellow participating artists (from Brush Creek and West Bottoms) to bring in their unsold paintings (ones still for sale), works that reflect outdoor painting efforts specific to BCAW along with originals from our more recent Historic West Bottoms Association Plein Air (HWBA) now celebrating it’s 3rd season in May (16th-18th, 2025).
We only have so much space... so RSVP for this amazing opportunity today!

9 x 11 Ink on Paper
The 1st Painting in Our BCAWFoundation Collection
This was my first 'trade' with a then soon-to-be renowned Kansas City Mixed Media Artist, Rebecca Tombaugh. Her unique approach to media has been credited to making the viewer smile. In September, 2015, during my first year as Director, I was handed a laptop by Rebecca, stating "I want to paint on this". I felt that telling her we weren't to the point of accepting digital submissions would possibly turn her away. Noting my concerned look Rebecca replied, "No, I want to actually paint 'on' it!" My look didn't go away but it did turn to a smile.
Getting to know so many artists over the years and witnessing their incredible talent on display keeps my fire going for outdoor painting. Even when an execution time shortened to just 2 to 3 hours, the results are on par with a studio work lingered over a period of days.
