Schmid has become involved in art education through his books and articles on painting and by conducting a series of lectures/demonstrations in the United States. A consummate painter, Schmid traveled and painted extensively throughout the United States, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and parts of Europe. He tries to pass on his philosophy on art through his works, whether written, spoken or painted. "I once asked an audience of university art students what they thought was important when they were painting: making money, showing off, the pleasure of painting? Or do you paint because you want to change a person's mind? Are you making a pitch for beauty or brotherhood, or is painting something you do so you can get close to something more spiritual? I believe there is a certain responsibility that goes along with being born with talent."

Richard Schmid (American, 1934-2021) Gladiolas, 1962 oil on canvas signed Schmid (lower right); signed, titled and dated (verso) 24 x 36 inches Property from an Estate, Sold to Benefit the Wichita Art Museum Provenance: Reynolds Gallery, Taos, New Mexico, November, 1963 Acquired from the above by the present owner Richard Schmid, who might well be called the painter's painter of our generation in terms of representational art because of the popular classes he taught as well as the instructional books and videos he created. Schmid developed a personal poetic approach to realism, and, throughout his career, as his website says, he extolled the virtues of the "Grand Manner, a certain mingling of virtuosity and unrestrained joy in art…" In Gladiolas, Schmid captures a moment of potential, when the bouquet has been unwrapped but not yet arranged in the vase. With broad, bravura strokes, Schmid conveys the vitality of the flowers and the sense of creativity that is about to take place as the flowers are artfully presented. -James D. Balestrieri

Richard Schmid (American, 1934-2021) Oranges and Limes and Nectarines and Pears, 1965 oil on canvas signed Schmid (lower right); signed, titled and dated (verso) 14 x 30 inches. Property from an Estate, Sold to Benefit the Wichita Art Museum Provenance: Blair Galleries, Santa Fe, New Mexico, August, 1967 Acquired from the above by the present owner Richard Schmid took what might be termed a transformational approach to traditional genres of painting—landscape, the nude, and the still life. His landmark book on technique, Alla Prima, went through eleven printings and an expanded version, Alla Prima II, is now in its fourth printing. Oranges and Limes and Nectarines and Pears draws its energy from the impressionism of Monet and Renoir, where the objects—the pears, apples, oranges, limes—as well as the mug, jug and tablecloth are rendered and made to seem round through the juxtaposition of shaded planar strokes. Don't let the pleasant beauty of the piece fool you— Oranges and Limes and Nectarines and Pears is an achievement earned only after years of study and practice. -James D. Balestrieri

He then served in the military, afterward moving to New York in 1958, where he continued to paint. Three years later, Schmid and his wife, Jan, moved to Connecticut to raise their family. After a brief stay in Florida, Schmid, now divorced, returned to Chicago and joined the Palette and Chisel Academy. He began teaching at the academy, and soon became its president. In 1990, Schmid moved to Colorado, painting and writing.He began writing about painting in 1970, and produced two best-selling books in their field. His third book, entitled "Alla Prima: Everything I Know About Painting," come out in the late 1990's. Schmid has become involved in art education through his books and articles on painting and by conducting a series of lectures/demonstrations in the United States. A consummate painter, Schmid traveled and painted extensively throughout the United States, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and parts of Europe. He tries to pass on his philosophy on art through his works, whether written, spoken or painted. "I once asked an audience of university art students what they thought was important when they were painting: making money, showing off, the pleasure of painting? Or do you paint because you want to change a person's mind? Are you making a pitch for beauty or brotherhood, or is painting something you do so you can get close to something more spiritual? I believe there is a certain responsibility that goes along with being born with talent."
