Local Artist Donates Paintings to Auction

A local Missoula artist has generously donated a pair of his paintings to the Windows of Youth Auction benefiting Youth Homes.  Thank you so much Brendan!!!  Come on down to the Auction on May 30th, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at The Loft, downtown Missoula.  Bid on some amazing artwork!


Brendan Stewart
Local Artist
Untitled
Oil on Canvas

Born and raised in Nederland, Colorado, Stewart moved to Missoula after living in Alaska. Stewart is a wood worker and a ceramicist and has been painting with oils since he arrived to Montana in 2007. Most works are left untitled so that the viewer is left to their own interpretations of the work. 


These paintings were done after spending time hiking and backpacking in the Bitterroot mountains. They seem like landscape pictures, but they also lose any recognizable image. The colors used offer a warm and happy feeling inspired by the vast ranges of the Bitterroot valley.
