painting is like a good poem: Neither reveals all its secrets at once. "You come back to a poem time and again; sometimes you find something new and beautiful that you didn't see before. It's the same with a good painting. You should be able to find something interesting in it year after year."  Joe Wayne is a plein air and studio painter and sculptor living and working in Livingston, Montana. His work appears in museums and galleries throughout the West including the C.M. Russell Museum in Great Falls and the Hockaday Museum of Art in Kalispell, Montana, as well as the Buffalo Trail Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming, and the Montana Trails Gallery in Bozeman, Montana. From September 11 through October 20, 2007 the Bradford Brinton Museum in Big Horn, Wyoming will be showing Joe's work.
