Breathtaking open landscapes. How lucky are Canadians and their visitors to be able go out and enjoy those snowy mountains. For those less fortunate, like myself, the closest that I can be to mountains is to search for paintings in western art at wahooart.com that have mountains as their subject. It is clear thatmany artists loved to paint mountains, as much as I love looking at them. German artist Albert Bierstadt painted high mountains in the US. But back in home in Germany he also painted this wonderful vista, entitled View of the Grunewald http://wahooart.com/Art.nsf/All-Popular-Artworks. What a purely heavenly view.
George Coll lives west of Loveland, Colorado, with his wife Jennifer. In 1994, they purchased their two-acre property with a 1920s-built-home, a barn and several outbuildings that include a studio he built in 1999. This rambling property at the base of the Rocky Mountains is also home to George’s two pack llamas. Night Train and Cardamom who love to trek into the backcountry with George to carry his paint supplies.
George works from life. George’s landscape paintings are composed on location to capture the essence of light. His larger landscapes/cityscapes are completed in the studio from his on-location field studies. George’s figurative paintings are inspired by his friends and acquaintances, which patiently model for him until completed.
