MOSTWANTED Police search for Katrina Cay Trachy James Schieve, MD re- tired, long time member of the Red Bluff Art Associa- tion, is the pick for Septem- ber's Artist of the Month with several art pieces be- ing exhibited at the Te- hama County Library. Schieve began lessons finding that "art therapy" helped him through the grieving process after the death of his first wife, Jane, in 1994. Locally Jim con- tinued instruction through Shasta College night school under Lee Warner then pri- vatelywithJenniferDeBose. Schieve has a rapid and fearless style and is prolific and eclectic in his subject matter, whether copying the Masters or painting from a personal photograph. "Nothing is off the table," according to wife Peggy. "He is unafraid to try portraits or subjects others might shy away from. Health is- sues forced a hiatus or sorts but recently Jim took up the paintbrush again and is hoping to enter in this year's Tehama District Fair. Last year two works were awarded ribbons. At 98, Jim could possibly be the oldest exhibitor." "Sitting in Jim's art stu- dio, you can't help but feel you are in the presence of a true artist who loves what he does," said association President Debby Sipes. "He simply just paints, with shelves of unframed art- work that if framed would fill every nook and cranny of his home and most likely his neighbors too. He has a love for color and seeing what the paint is going to do on his art piece." Schieve held up one piece with the color so in- tense and such movement in the brushwork that the fall color appears almost to be flames. Then your eye is drawn to the path between these autumn trees and the glorious blanket of green earth and you just want to be there to see where that path leads. In his other hand he holds an impres- sionistic painting of a wa- ter fall that has the feel of many of Monets works. "It was truly a joy to sit and sift through some of his work that he so read- ily shares with you," Sipes said. "Asking what you think of this or what you see and delighting in your comments. His enthusiasm is catching and makes you want to clear off the kitchen table and just paint with nothing in mind but the movement of color on pa- per and the pure joy of it." Schieve, is a Red Bluff treasure with many more paintings to share. His work through the years in oil and watercolor remains an in- teresting mix showing the depth of his ability and the amazing talent this young at heart artist possesses.
