pieces. My pricing for unframed work is as follows:

Derek Jecxz is a fine art photographer and he has focused on the landscape since 1995. Born and raised in New
York City, he now prefers the path less traveled, the quiet and forsaken landscape that exists without witness. His
photographs are images of the world that are taken for granted or overlooked. Each photograph is made with
considerable effort and patience and he believes good photographs are made, not taken. Derek’s photographs give
him a voice that speaks without words.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My home in the western Catskills, NY provides an endless range of shifting colors, light and moods. To capture the particular light I return to the same scene at the same time of day. My interest is not in the grand vista but rather in exploring beauty in the commonplace, the familiar brought to light, the intimate view, and the moment captured. My oil and watercolor subjects often come from looking out my windows, walking down a road, riding in my car, going to a park, sitting in a restaurant or my home. More recently my images of local environs include etchings.

BIOGRAPHY
Doug received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City and is the author of the book Draw from Your Head: A Step by Step System of Drawing the Human Figure, published by Watson Guptil. He has recently self-published The Nighttime Adventures of the Man in the Conical Hat, a book of his etchings and poetry. Before moving to Treadwell, NY Doug lived and worked in NYC. He was a freelance illustrator and courtroom artist. He now teaches classes at various venues in Delaware and Otsego Counties as well as from his studio in Treadwell.

Brian Keeler was born in 1953 and he lives in his hometown of Wyalusing, Pa.  He primarily devotes his time to painting landscapes, still lifes, figures, and portraits in oil, pastel and watercolor.  His teaching has included giving workshops at various schools and art associations as well courses at Keystone College.  He has also been a rostered artist with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and conducts residencies at high schools under the aegis of this state arts organization. 

    Brian has made the landscape and cities of Italy one of his painting projects over the last ten years and he conducted a landscape class there in the spring of 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 in Barga, Tuscany and Todi, Umbria.    In the spring of 2004 he was honored with a retrospective of his own work along with his father, William Keeler’s paintings at the Everhart Museum in Scranton, PA.  Brian Keeler authored a book about his father’s work that served as the catalog for this show.   The book titled, “The Art Work of William Keeler- Pennsylvania Regionalist Painter” and was published in the spring of 2004 by River Light Press.

    Graduating from the York Academy of Arts in York, Pa in 1975 where he studied realistic painting with Tom Wise, Ted Fitzkee, Vigil Sova and Bill Faulkler.  He has since studied with several other accomplished realist painters including Dan Greene, Everett Kinstler, Jack Beal and Nelson Shanks.

    Involved locally in many arts projects, Keeler founded the Blue Heron Gallery in Wyalusing in 2003, and he originated the North Branch Art Trail and Festival in 1993- both continuing today.

    Brian Keeler has focused on the Susquehanna River as one of his main sources of interest for many years.  He derives the primary source of inspiration for his river images from the beautiful stretch of river in Bradford County, but he has also depicted the river shores in the Wyoming Valley near Wilkes-Barre and throughout the river’s course.  His oil paintings are often begun with quick pencil sketches or studies done in pastel or with oil, usually in a smaller scale on location.  He values the time on the river as an important part of the picture-making process.  Sometimes stopping to paint while driving past a favorite location or in a kayak when he paddles out to paint these studies from direct observation, they all have their own way of contributing to studio paintings.  His outdoor painting is done very much in the tradition of the Impressionists or like the original plien aire painter, the 19th century French artist, Corot.   After making studies outside, Keeler then goes back to his studio and creates larger format oils based on these first-hand compositions and from photos he takes during the days on the river.  He feels that there is something irreplaceable about being outside and experiencing nature first-hand while creating paintings in a single sitting.  Feeling the air, hearing the ambient sounds of nature and even the background sounds of traffic, lawnmowers and people, seeing the effects of light and serendipitous occurrences of nature all contribute to an emotional connection to his subjects. One of the artist’s main attractions to any given landscape is the quality of light and the play of light on shorelines, clouds and topography.  He especially enjoys the contrasts of the area’s older buildings in combination with newer more banal architecture, set against that natural beauty of the river’s edge. 

     Keeler is also well known as a painter of fine portraits, still lifes and figurative paintings.

    Keeler’s work has won wide acclaim over the years. His paintings have been collected by many individuals, corporations, and museums. His work has appeared in feature articles in American Artist Magazine in 1992 and 2003 and in 2006 Pastelogram, a journal for pastel artists featured his art. Two books have been illustrated by Keeler in collaboration with their authors, one a children’s’ book and the other a treatise on a mystical theme.
Keeler’s work is represented at the following galleries – Laura Craig Gallery in Scranton, West End Gallery in Corning, NY, Hrefna Jonsdottir Gallery in Lambertville, NJ.
