Lee Blakeney
Texas artist and rancher Lee Blakeney has studied art almost all her life and paints outdoors on a regular basis with the Palo Duro Plein Air Painters. She paints in both oil and pastels and offers a regular class in pastel at the nearby Amarillo Art Institute. 
"Horses and cattle surround us in the spring. The Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River is often the sight of my painting and my husband Tom fishing in the summer evenings. The influence, love, and appreciation of the rural lifestyle is evident in my work."
