Curt Walters painter of the Grand Canyon

"Old Pride" 24" x 20"

CURT WALTERS is known as the premier living painter of the Grand Canyon. His commissioned piece “National Treasure” commemorating the 75^th anniversary rededication ceremony of Grand Canyon National park is on permanent display at the area. 
 
Sudden changes in weather and light can create dramatic effects on the canyon – providing Walters with endless subject matter.

"Twisted Cedar" 24" x 20"

We have recently acquired two truly magnificent examples of Curt Walters’ Grand Canyon paintings from a local estate. They are in perfect condition and attractively priced at $12,000.00 each, well below market value.

"Impressions of Fall"

_________________________________________________

Barry Kooser

"Painting, for me, has always been something of a mystery: difficult, enjoyable, confusing, exhilarating, maddening, demanding, but endlessly intriguing. Technical understanding is a must—drawing, composition, value and color.

Barry Kooser "Waterton Study 11" 9 x 12 oil

_______________________________________________________________________________

Sallie K. Smith

Though Sallie K. Smith paints other subjects, she prefers landscapes, and enjoys letting the work speak for her. The gentle yet vibrant images she depicts are inspired by her favorite vistas—most notably, the mountainous views that surround her home—and reflect her reverent admiration for the land. “Nature, to me, is so perfect in every detail; it gives me peace and, at the same time, is exhilarating. I am trying to capture that ethereal sensibility in my work, knowing that these moments of solitude are often fleeting. I invite the viewer to step inside my paintings and enjoy with me these special places.”

Sallie K. Smith "Autumn at Alberta Falls" 28 x 21 oil

Jill Soukup

Jill graduated from Colorado State University in 1991 with a Bachelor of Fine Art. There, she received awards for illustration and design and worked as an illustrator and designer for the university. She initially pursued a career in graphic design while continuing to paint part time. After 11 years as a designer, she made the switch to full-time painting. Her work continues to gain recognition as she receives awards, appears in national publications, and shows in important juried and one-woman exhibitions.

Congratulations Andrea T. Kemp

SOLD!

Saks Galleries congratulates

Andrea T. Kemp

on the sale of "Cherries" presented at the opening of

"Impressions of Fall"

Now through September 30, 2011

"Where and how do I begin my career as a painter? At that time, I did what now is my life’s motto; when I am feeling stuck, I remind myself to just begin. Begin anywhere! My one and only concern was to paint paint paint! Somewhere between the beginning and the many paintings I had created, a voice emerged that was quiet but my own. My work developed into the beauty I wanted to portray.

The inspiration for my paintings come from all around me. Sometimes it can be as simple as a color, other times it can be the way two people are interacting. Whatever it might be, it is used as a building block for the piece. That is when creating an environment that will compliment, emphasize, or perhaps downplay my motive becomes so important to executing that vision. When working through a painting I have experience and tools to use that I have acquired from my past work, but never is the path completely the same. There are always unexpected obstacles that arise. Those little and big bumps give me the opportunity to truly be creative. To create the impossible and let the magic take hold."
