Based out of the small artist town Tuscarora, Nevada, Ron Arthaud’s plein air paintings capture the abstract in nature. His work aims to capture the beauty in the ordinary and discarded, whether it be a rusty vehicle, a broken down fence, or striking shadows on the snow from old pickets. Originally from Minnesota, Arthaud relocated to Tuscarora in 1990’s after brief residencies in California and France. He has exhibited throughout California and Nevada and his works can be found in numerous private and public collections including Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno. This painting, "Spring Snow" captures a Nevada landscape as the Spring arrives and snow begins to melt. Ron's style is both impressionistic as well as a hint of photo realism.
