Experience ‘Art in Flight’ when Jim Brune visits Indiana Artisan in Carmel

Submitted

Join Indiana Artisan for an unforgettable afternoon with the incredibly talented Jim Brune at Art in Flight. The painter from Decatur, Ind., will demonstrate his unique creative process using watercolors to create hyper-realistic scenes on wood as part of Indiana Artisan’s monthly 2nd SaturDate events.

Brune’s artistic adventure began in high school, blossomed through college with watercolor techniques, and has now evolved into a breathtaking expression of nature on hardwood he meticulously mills himself. His works, often featuring stunning birds and wildlife, push the boundaries of traditional watercolor art.

Art in Flight also gives you the opportunity to be among the first to enjoy a remarkable new painting crafted in honor of our nation’s semiquincentennial. This piece, rendered on a nearly 40-inch-wide black walnut slab, features a majestic bald eagle soaring gracefully over Montana’s breathtaking Lake Como with the picturesque Bitterroot National Forest in the background.

“In my opinion,” Bune said, “it doesn’t get more Americana than this.”

Join the artist anytime from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 13 at Indiana Artisan Gifts & Gallery, located 20 N. Range Line Road in the Carmel Arts & Design District. Come when it’s convenient; stay as long as you like. Watch as he paints live, sharing his unique techniques and artistic insights that breathe life into his fervor for wildlife. At the same time, register to win an amazing collection of Americana-themed artworks, each handcrafted by talented Hoosier artisans.

Thanks to funding from a Carmel Arts grant, Indiana Artisan events like these thrive and celebrate the spirit of the community. Bring your friends and family to enjoy a delightful afternoon of creativity, inspiration, and local culture.
