Connie Morse and Dave Sime

"I feel that my art communicates my love for nature and the beauty that has been my pleasure to paint. For many years nature has been my instructor and the outdoors my studio."--Connie L. Morse

Connie L. Morse:

Connie works primarily in oil and her bold brush strokes and brilliant use of color make her style distinctive and appealing. Her paintings involve the viewer with a sense of freedom to interpret and explore a visual adventure.
Connie has had a lifelong passion for plein air painting which gives her the ability to accurately portray the colors, and designs of a multitude of landscapes.
Her many years of ranch life give Connie's western paintings true authenticity and feeling.

"Connie has a combination of spontaneity and control in her brush strokes that takes years of experience to achieve" Professor, Lewis Martsolf Cicotelo

Artists Statement: “I want my paintings and sculptures to communicate a sense of the story, attitude, time and place that bond the artist and viewer in an emotional response.”
