About the Item

This captivating modern expressionist painting by Sharron Evans features oil paint and gold leaf on birch panel, framed in custom gold leaf. Painted in rich earth tones, the artwork juxtaposes vibrant deep reds and blacks to create a dreamlike, mottled background, evoking mist or wind. At the center, a flaxen horse emerges, surrounded by a radiant gold leaf nautilus spiral that begins at its neck and curls around its feet, forming a golden halo. This intricate technique, inspired by ancient Russian, Greek, and Italian religious iconography, imbues the horse with an angelic presence, symbolizing grace, order, and renewal amidst chaos. The nautilus spiral, an ancient symbol of growth and natural harmony, represents life’s cycles and the interconnectedness of all things. As with many of Evans' works, this painting weaves together themes of magic, mythology, and symbolism, reflecting her deep love for horses and the natural world. Subtly inscribed with the phrase "Walking in Grace and Beauty", the swirling background evokes a universal truth that transcends the physical realm, inviting viewers to reflect on deeper spiritual themes. Sharron Evans, living in rural Utah on a pioneer-era homestead surrounded by wildlife and ancient Native American trails, draws inspiration from her natural environment. Her art reflects the simplicity, honesty, and spirituality of the wilderness. Evans never works from photographs, preferring to create from dreams and memories, imbuing her paintings with personal emotion and a profound connection to nature. This stunning piece is more than just a portrayal of a horse—it's a spiritual journey that invites viewers to connect with the beauty and mystery of the natural world, offering a timeless and meaningful addition to any collection.

1950s Signed Abstract Oil & Metal Foil on Board Textured Painting 'Warlock'
Located in Denver, CO
This original abstract oil and metal foil on board painting titled Warlock by George Cecil Carter (1908-1987) dates back to the 1950s. The piece is a striking example of Abstract Expressionism, painted in dynamic shades of dark blue, gray, white, orange, and purple. The artist's use of textured metal foil and oil paint creates an intriguing interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the piece's modernist appeal. Signed by Carter in the lower right corner, and titled and dated on the verso, this unique work is presented in its original George Nix frame, measuring 30 ¾ x 36 ¾ inches, with the image size itself measuring 23 ¼ x 29 ¼ inches. About the Artist: George Cecil Carter was born in 1908 in Woodward, Oklahoma, and became a prominent figure in the Colorado Abstract Expressionist scene. Despite having no formal artistic training, Carter developed a distinctive style, influenced by his diverse life experiences. He worked in various industries, including as a coal miner, gold miner, and machinist at Schneebeck's Industries in Colorado Springs for 20 years. During this time, Carter honed his artistic skills under the mentorship of Charles Bunnell, a painter from the Broadmoor Academy. Carter’s works reflect the boldness and emotional intensity of Abstract Expressionism, with vivid colors and strong compositions. He worked primarily out of Colorado Springs and Canon City, Colorado, and exhibited his art nationally, including shows in Texas and Illinois. His contemporaries included fellow Colorado artists such as Al Wynne, Mary Chenoweth...
