Ones to Watch

Darrell Loy Scott He began drawing landscapes in the 50s - Death Valley and Sequoia National Park were two of the first. As he grew into a man and artist, Scott experimented with various art forms. His three most notable mediums are pen and ink, watercolor and acrylic paintings. During the past few years, Scott has developed his own, distinct form of folk art and has been called a "classical primitive artist." Scott feels that primitive art fits his style and demeanor, giving him the freedom to play with color and themes. "Only time will tell," says Scott, "if some other form of expression will be next." His artwork can be viewed at Taylor's Contemporanea Fine Arts, 204 Exchange, in Hot Springs.

"Flight" By Lynnette Cox

"Ones to Watch" Active Years Magazine February Issue - pg. 44.

"Hot Springs, Arkansas is largely considered to be the South's premier art
community. Three local gallery owners picked their favorite up and coming artists."

Randall M. Good Good has been showing in Blue Moon Gallery for two years and has since signed an exclusive representation agreement, an unusual move in the art world. As part of the arrangement, Blue Moon Gallery provides a permanent exhibition space for Good's work. A graduate of the University of North Texas, Good studied painting, drawing and art history and has received additional training as a conservator of painting. Working in oil and watercolor, Good's sole subject is the human figure in scenes and poses of feeling. Like the masters who inspire him - Michelangelo, Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino - Good's artwork is timeless and strikingly original. A collection of his work can be found at Blue Moon Gallery,
718 Central Avenue, in Hot Springs.

Lynnette Cox Deep hues of color and strong emotion characterize Cox's abstract artwork that can be seen in private and corporate collections from Dallas, Texas, to Little Rock, Arkansas, and Washington, D.C. Her contemporary art is powerful, imaginative and unprecedented in style, and she is committed to art and the discovery of new and exciting ideas and techniques. "If you're not held back by society's expectations and rules," Cox explains, "and you're not afraid, you are free to create from the soul." Cox has been painting for 26 years and is a member of the National Women's Caucus of Art and lives in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Her work can be seen at Gallery Central, 800 Central Avenue, in Hot Springs.
