About the Artist: Stephen Randall typically paints rural and urban landscapes - on location outdoors in the open air or in his studio located downtown in Sioux Falls. A wide variety of regional landmarks are an inspiration for him to sketch, draw and paint as often as possible. His art is characterized by an impressionist style with broad brush strokes. Using plein air work for reference, larger paintings are produced in his studio using oil, acrylic, watercolor, or pastel mediums.
