Miniatures 3 x 3! Yep, that's right......

"Palm Canyon" 3 x 3 oil on canvas by Terry d. Chacon

These are my entries for the upcoming miniature show at Jack's Fine Art and Framing Gallery in Beaumont, Ca.   Sarah Parker will do the judging.   The reception will be Dec. 8 from 5 to 8 pm.  I hope you can make the reception.   Door prizes, snacks and wine.  Who could ask for anything more.  

When I got the prospectus for this event, I was fearful to try an oil painting this small.   I bought a package of 5 - 3 x 3 inch canvas.   I looked at them constantly and just could not imagine being able to paint anything that small.   Jennifer Dunaway the owner of Jack's called to tell me I needed to give it a try.   When out on location at Palm Canyon recently with my artist pal Patricia Rose Ford, I indeed gave it a try.   It was actually fun.   Working with my palette knife I did the following in my studio.   I think I am hooked, these little gems are falling off the knife and looking pretty good.   I will be donating a 3 x 3 as a door prize, so come on out to the reception and take your chance of winning an original 3 x 3 by me!  

"Laguna Beach"  3 x 3 oil on canvas/palette knife - available to purchase through Jack's Fine Art and Framing Gallery.  

"Moody River" 3 x 3 oil on canvas/palette knife available to purchase through Jack's!

"Santa"   Since it is holiday time, I decided to do a Christmas painting for the event.   3 x 3 oil on canvas/palette knife available to purchase through Jack's!

Also in the show will be "Fancy" lost wax bronze 1 1/2 inch in height.   Available to purchase through Jack's. 

This is Jack's Fine Art and Framing Gallery.
226 East 6th Street
Beaumont, California 92223


Jennifer Dunaway will be professionally  framing my little 3 x 3 pieces.  I am sure they will look fabulous.  

So please come to the opening of the exhibit, see all the minis plus artwork by David Fairrington, Sara Parker and myself.   A lot of work for your Christmas giving.  

Please, ENJOY THE ART!    Terry d. Chacon

America's Parks Selection

"Sunrise at Turtlehead Peak"  8 x 16 plein air.   Painted at the Redrock Canyon Conservancy, Redrock, Nevada.


Terry painting at Sunrise.

Finished and time for coffee.   Thank you Lilli Miles for the fabulous photos.

As you recall, last April my art friend Patricia Rose Ford invited me for a week of painting in Nevada.   We painted everyday in and around Redrock Canyon and Valley of Fire.   The special occasion was to include a birthday celebration for our photographer Lilli Miles.   I think she really enjoyed herself as did we.

While painting this particular painting which literally just came together so easily I felt it might be a good one to enter in a special show.   So I did.   This week I was notified that this painting has been selected to be part of a traveling exhibit in 2013 with America's Parks.    Here is the press release.



"Sunrise at Turtlehead Peak" by Artist Terry d. Chacon has been selected

for display in AMERICA'S PARKS Through the Beauty of Art, an international

competition and exhibition, the purpose of which is to recognize and promote excellence in

original artworks depicting any park (national, state, provincial, county, city) in Canada,

Mexico and The United States. Selections were made by a professional jury consisting of: M.

Stephen Doherty, Editor, PleinAir™ Magazine; Susan T. Fisher, Past President American

Society of Botanical Artists and former Director, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Art Institute;

and Todd Wilkinson, Managing Editor, Wildlife Art Journal.

AMERICA'S PARKS will premiere at The Ella Carothers Dunnegan Gallery of Art in Bolivar,

MO, and tour to the Roger Tory Peterson Institute, 15 miles from Chautauqua in western New

York, and the Kenosha Public Museum, mid-way between Milwaukee and Chicago.

Temecula Valley Art League Art Demo

Last night I had the pleasure of doing an art demo for Temecula Valley Art League in Temecula, Ca.   I love doing demo's and sharing with other artists my style of painting.  

TVAL Demo 2012  9 x 12 oil on canvas board w/palette knife by Terry d. Chacon
(Early Evening after a Storm at Lake Arrowhead)


Although I am set up to demo inside and at night, my demo was about painting on location in Plein Air.  I brought some paintings to show the late afternoon light.   When I painted in Lake Arrowhead for their Plein Air paint out I had drawn on a canvas board a scene I wanted to paint, but before I knew it the light was changing so fast that I had to take a photo in hopes that someday I could capture the scene and the feeling I had when I was there painting.  


Because I was set up under the trees, my camera made everything look very dark, but I was so impressed at the time of what I was seeing that I thought I could pull it off in a demo.  But just to be sure I did a painting the night before in my studio.  (below)


When you do demo's the art groups need to raise money for your fees. People bring raffle items to help with the costs.  I decided to frame the studio painting and take if for their raffle.    It was very well received and people bought lots of raffle tickets.   

Starting the scene.

After the first layer of color I invite the attendees up to view the painting.   At this point they are really confused, because it looks like an abstract painting with shapes of color.  

Now we are moving forward and before finishing the painting I invited the group back up.  Now they are understanding the technique.

Putting on the final details.  

Sadly the flash took away the color on the painting.  

This is Gabriele Baber, she was the lucky winner of the raffle for my painting. 

I would like to thank TVAL, they were a great group of artists that asked the best questions and kept the demo informative and amusing.   They also seemed very appreciative of my work and made the evening very enjoyable.   And boy do they put on a spread of beautiful food.   If you ever go to one of their meetings, don't eat before hand.   

Thank you to Carol Landry who helped me with all the details.   Love your accent, you do a great job as President of your group.  

I definitely want to go back to Temecula in November to paint the beautiful wineries.   And I was also impressed with Old Town.   A new place to paint as well.    

UNTIL NEXT TIME, Please enjoy the ART!   Terry d. Chacon 

I have put the demo painting on Fine Art America.  There you can order prints and note cards.  Also the painting is available For Sale.   Here is the link:   http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/terry-chacon.html

Jewelry By Terry d. Chacon

This year I have worked really hard on my jewelry line to bring you some wonderful new pieces.   I will just get right to it by posting the new brochures for you to see all the choices available, including prices.  

The above pieces I designed off of my bronze sculpture "Harmony".    I have visioned something like this for a long time and it is so wonderful to see it come to life.    The first two pieces you can choose a birthstone or any color stone for your piece.  All of these pieces are hand finished and available in Sterling Silver or 10k Gold Plate over SS.   They are beautifully weighted to make the jewelry wearing experience perfect.   

The above pieces are each hand cast from a  bass relief design.  The process is the exact same process of the Lost Wax Bronzes that I do.   These bass relief miniatures are each hand finished and come in Sterling Silver or Bronze, in an antique patina or hand polished.   The Bronze metals when hand polished look similar to gold.  The new gold that is affordable. 

Now if you want 18k gold in any of the designs Bass Reliefs or Die Cut, it is available.  

Looking forward to hearing from you, orders are being taken now and you can pick them up at the Nationals in Atlanta or I can ship them to you when complete. 

Any questions, please direct them to me at:  shacone@aol.com

As always, PLEASE ENJOY THE ART!
