"Bud" was born in Haverhill Massachusetts. He always showed an interest in art and it was natural that upon retirement he would take up brush and palette. At the same time he studied genealogy and traced his family back to Pre-Colonial New England. Two of the most interesting of his forefathers were two great, great grandfathers Jacob Smith and William Towle. They fought in the French Indian Wars and at Bunker Hill. Bud signs his work Jacob Towle to honor their memory. e-mail address: outsidepainter@aol.com

Kip Herring describes himself as an emerging artist who has married celestial/cosmic skies with beautiful landscapes...and his style as colorful, peace inducing pastel, which is focused on natures amazing spirit and life. He possesses a "realist" style and finds joy in enhancing the colors and moods of a landscape, giving a sophisticated and moving brilliance. Sometimes he has represented actual places, but most and continually more so, they are places of the heart that reveal themselves through the creative process. "Those are the most enjoyable paintings for me, and tend to flow more easily." Since Kip has received no formal training, he is considered a self taught master of his medium. "In my opinion, there can be no better teacher or motivator than yourself. We all hold the key to our destiny deep inside. It's up to the individual and their creator, to continually push their limits and release their talents, whatever they may be. As long as they are intended to better our planet." Kip's most recent work has included new twists which are Astronomy oriented. Spending some time in areas that don't receive a great deal of exiting weather, his eyes have been forced to look beyond the clouds. "There is a great deal yet to be learned and discovered about our Universe, in fact we know very little. It is my intention and desire to remind us what we are actually a part of. We're all connected, even to the cosmos. We are one verse...a "uni"-verse." Seeing his ideas become realities is what he thrives on. In the shows in which he has participated in, he has enjoyed success. On top of selling, he's received special recognitions, purchase awards, commissions and even "People's Choice" Award, through his unique and sophisticated style. Kip currently lives and works in the Missoula, Montana area and looks forward to a bright future while continuing to create a new and exiting view of the natural world. It is his hope to share a message of peace and hope for the future through his creations and to help encourage the surfacing of hidden talents of all individuals. www.kipherring.com
