Matt Smith: Western Landscape Artist & Plein Air Painter - Epi. 124, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had landscape painter Matt Smith on the podcast today. He's such a good plein air artist and I was a fan and collector long before I ever representing him in my gallery. It took me 20 years before I was lucky enough to get Matt Smith to show in my gallery and it's fun to hear the story of how he got to be one of the best western painters in the country. He's renowned for not only his studio paintings and plein paintings but for his workshops where he shares his expansive skillset with others. If you're a painter and you want to paint outdoors, this a good one to absorb. Matt discusses the difficulties to succeed as a professional artist and what is required if you want to try to create for a living, especially as a plein air painter.
