Don Frank Ricks
Stunning Grand Tetons, Wyoming Landscape by listed artist Don Ricks (1929-1996)

ca 1980

About the Item

Artist Don F. Ricks was inspired by the natural beauty that surrounded his portion of The West. Whether it be the flat plains, the mighty Rockies, or the gardens so lovingly created around homesteads and ranches, Ricks painted what he saw in all its glory and light. This painting of the Cathedral Group of the Tetons is a fine example of his inspired work. The tops of the mountains are snow capped, and bathed in light. There is a long ray of sun lighting the valley floor at their base, perhaps suggesting later afternoon shadows. The paint is applied liberally in areas to enhance the drama and texture of the rugged landscape. Born in 1929, Don Frank Ricks studied art at the University of Utah before opening a sign painting business. In the late 1960’s he closed his business in favor of finer brushes to begin his fine art career. He soon opened summer artists workshops out of his home, about an hour from Yellowstone National Park. There he continued to paint while assisting budding artists, as he had been earlier. This painting, on masonite panel, measures 16” x 20”. It is signed lower left. It is housed in a fine quality wide gilt frame with simple foliate corners and a linen liner. Both the frame and painting are in very good condition with no major issues or repairs to report. There is very minor expected damage to the frame in a couple of spots, as it is about thirty plus years old. The outer framed dimensions are approximately 22” x 26”. The colors of the painting are bright and clear. Overall, it is ready to hang on the wall of your choice to enjoy.
