M|L INSIDER Leaf Peeping in Scottsdale A chill in the air with leaves changing colors is an autumn experience in most of the country. Here in Arizona, however, you have to travel to the mountains or farther to find the sights and scents of autumn. This October, let us help you experience the changing season. Featuring works from Utah artist Dean Bradshaw, The Gallery will host “Leaf Peeping in Scottsdale,” opening Thursday, October 10, during ArtWalk. This is your chance to see some fall color without leaving the valley. Bradshaw doesn’t have to look far for inspiration with his home and studio sitting at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City. Looking out large picture windows he can see aspens and pines climbing the slopes of Mount Olympus. However, finding the right scene to paint can be difficult. “When I come across a scene I want to paint, it’s because of its strong design element and dramatic lighting,” said Bradshaw. “It takes a lot of driving and hiking to find that one great scene.” Thickly textured oil paints in bright oranges, dark crimsons and golden yellows give life to Bradshaw’s paintings keeping the work very textural.

“It keeps me from focusing too much on detail,” he said. “For me, it becomes a much more spontaneous way of painting. When I paint thick, with a lot of color, it tends to be more on the feeling side than the technical side.” In New England the practice of going to look at the changing leaves is called Leaf Peeping. Enthusiasts of this hobby will hold annual “peepshows” in particularly spectacular locales. This year the peepshow is in the heart of Scottsdale’s art district. Join us October 10, 7-9 p.m. for the opening. The show will run through November 2.

M|L INSIDER Bruce Brainard Utah | Oil Paintings Bruce Brainard’s love of landscapes developed in his childhood while being raised in a small farming community nestled under the Tetons in the upper Snake River Valley of southeastern Idaho. His love was further intensified as a young man while working in the fields. Bruce observed the surrounding landscape while pondering the meaning of life. His love of painting landscapes began at Brigham Young University (BYU) while majoring in fine art. He finished his BFA with an emphasis in oil painting in 1988. After a brief period developing his craft outside the structure of school, Bruce returned to BYU and obtained an MFA in 1992. Grandeur | 24 x 40

Since then, Bruce has enjoyed the pursuit of his muse, reflecting the quiet certitude of God and nature. Bruce is well-represented and his work can be seen in numerous collections throughout the United States. Bruce currently resides in Saratoga Springs, Utah with his wife Lori and their four children. His loves include painting, family, good friends, thoughtprovoking discussions, reading, cycling, golf, and skiing. Click here to see more of Bruce Brainard’s paintings
