Bill Reynolds
Breath of Dawn, 1970's Sunrise Lake Landscape

1970

About the Item

Gorgeous watercolor/gouache painting of a family of ducks swimming in a lake at dawn by Bill Reynolds (American, 1918-2008), 1970. The foreground is depicted in crisp detail, while the background fades into a soft-focus aesthetic, giving the painting depth and interest. Signed and dated "Bill Reynolds Jan 1970" lower right. Presented in a giltwood frame. Image, 15.5"H x 19.5"W. William J. "Bill" Reynolds was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on June 4, 1918, and son of the late William Michael Reynolds and Edna C. Coyle Reynolds. Bill Reynolds earned his commercial pilot's license and was a self-taught artist. He began painting during his college years and was commissioned to do drawings for one volume of a seven volume Catholic history of Texas; the originals are in the Papal Library in Rome. As an artist, he was best known for his aviation works as well as landscape scenes. His many varied experiences in aviation were translated to his canvas and his limited edition signed prints have been sold in a number of galleries across the United States. In 1995, the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees formally approved the establishment of the William J. Reynolds Gallery at the University of South Carolina Sumter and on Oct. 14, 1997, the Gallery was formally dedicated. Displayed are many of his original oils and more than 50 prints of his original oil paintings. Mr. Reynolds was a member of the American Association of Aviation Artists and the American Society for Aerospace Education, where he was elected to the Society's Hall of Honor in 1981. He was a charter member of the Air Force Association, which awarded him a Citation of Honor for military aviation art in 1985. He also received a Certificate of Honor from the National Aeronautic Association in 1994; and was elected as an honorary member of the Order of Daedalians, America's premiere organization of military fighter pilots, in 1997. He was a member of the Sunset Country Club, the American Legion and was a member of St. Anne's Catholic Church.

"JAYWALKER" TEXAS LONGHORN CATTLE
Located in San Antonio, TX
Chuck Mauldin Born 1949 Fredericksburg Artist Size: 16 x 20 Frame: 23 x 27 Medium: Oil "Jaywalker" A native of Texas, Chuck Mauldin has been painting in oil since the age of twelve.

With his move back to Texas, he has renewed his focus on oil painting, using this medium in a realistic yet painterly style. Striving to quickly capture color and mood with a direct "alla prima" technique is one of his main objectives in painting outdoors on-location. Cows, cowboys and Native Americans often enrich the landscape in his studio work, while anything can inspire his plein air paintings. Workshops with Charles Sovek...
