A Message from Judy Day, President
Dale Lainten Will Demonstrate at the April 13th Meeting
Dale Latinen, nationally known watercolor artist and teacher, will be demonstrating at the April 13
meeting of the Amador County Artists Association, commencing at 7 p.m. in the Jackson Senior
Center, 229 New York Ranch Road. Laitinen will demonstrate on Aquabord, a clay painting surface.
Laitinen has been roaming, hiking and painting the Sierra Nevada and the rest of the West for much
of his life. His wilderness subjects include mountains, deserts, and canyons. His “Engineered Land-
scape” series, depicting dams, bridges, and roadways, reveal the aesthetic contrast between the man-
made and the natural.
The artist is a Fine Art graduate with a concentration in painting from San Jose State University. His
depth of knowledge of the landscape is a result of many years as an independent long-haul trucker
traveling the country. Having survived the trucking life, in 1985 he turned to full-time painting and
teaching and has pursued this line of work up to the present day. His popular workshops are held
throughout the United States.
Latinen is represented in several galleries in California and continues to be published in numerous art
periodicals and books. He is the author of “Blue Shadow Country,” a self-published book featuring
his paintings, which is currently available from Blurb.com and dalelaitinen.com. “The Language of
Landscape” and “Landscape Essentials” are his teaching videos currently available through
ccpvideos.com and dalelaitinen.com.
Amador County Artists Association whose purpose is to promote and encourage the
production, cultivation, and appreciation of art.
