We are absolutely thrilled to announce that modern master Daniel Keys is bringing his palette to the African continent for the very first time in September 2027. From capturing the delicate floral kingdom of the historic Cape Winelands at @lanzeracestate to painting sweeping golden savannas in the untamed Greater Kruger at @kapamaprivategamereserve , this 10-day Wild & Winelands expedition is designed to completely redefine your artistic perspective. To preserve the intimate, boutique nature of Daniel’s instruction, this masterclass is strictly capped at just 10 easels. (A huge thank you to our VIPs who have already begun claiming their spots this week!) Public booking is now LIVE. Will you be joining us in the bushveld? Tap the link in our bio to view the full digital itinerary and secure your easel. 🥂🐘

Well… what can I say, I’m having a grand time here at the PACE conference in the Ozarks! Tonight I was deeply honored to receive the 2026 Plein Air Salon grand prize award for my painting “Summertime” - a cash prize AND upcoming cover of Plein Air magazine! So thankful. 😌

We’re excited to welcome @danielkeys to the @pleinairconvention faculty! If you know his work, you know this is a big deal. Daniel is a self-taught prodigy who picked up a brush at age eleven and went on to become one of the most sought-after representational painters of his generation. He's a protégé of the legendary Richard Schmid, winner of the Portrait Society of America's prestigious Draper Grand Prize, and his work hangs in prominent collections across North America, Europe, and beyond. Daniel will be painting live on the main stage, breaking down a landscape in real time — showing how he handles color, value, edges, and atmosphere as it unfolds. His work is known for its rich color, expressive brushwork, and sensitivity to light. And the Ozarks? The perfect setting for it. And this year, whether you’re joining us in person or watching from home, you’ll be able to experience it. Discover more at PleinAirConvention.com or comment PACE26 below. . . . #danielkeys #danielkeysart #pleinair #pleinairconvention #pace26

An inspiring new pastel painting by Master Artist @danielkeys now in the gallery and on our website. The painting is in a stunning hand carved gold frame and evokes memories of spring time in California. #spring #wineregion #wildflowers #landscapeart #inspire

What are your thoughts on western shows? Have you attended the Prix de West before? “Scents of Summer” is my main piece for the show this year, and my only still life. My other pieces are recent landscapes, which I hope will be a better fit for the event. Time will tell! Scents of Summer 19 x 29 inches, oil on linen (custom RayMar C13 panel)

Who’s coming to Atlanta this week? I’m Headed back to the @the_portrait_society for their annual Art of the Portrait conference this Thursday-Sunday! I can’t believe it’s been EIGHT YEARS since this painting of a friend’s children won the Draper Grand prize. It was totally unexpected, and the thrill of a lifetime - I’m honored to be amongst so many esteemed artists who’ve been awarded over the years. Looking forward to joining artists from all over the world again for another great conference! I’ll be participating in the “Face Off”, demonstrating with the inimitable @marywhyteofficial , and joining colleagues for a Friday evening symposium. Should be fun! Hope to see you there! #psoa #portrait #portraitsociety #portraitpainting
