About the artist:
Frederick Ernest Swedlun, AKA: Ernest Fredericks (1877–1959)
Frederick Ernest Swedlun, best known as Ernest Fredericks, was a prolific early twentieth-century artist active in Arkansas and Illinois and throughout the Ozarks region. His colorful woodland landscape paintings captured the rustic beauty of the area during every season of the year. One example, Autumn in the Ozarks, painted of a scene near Rogers (Benton County), was exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute in June 1940.
Frederick Swedlun was born of Swedish parents, Olof Swedlun and Christine M. Sandahl, on a farm near McPherson, Kansas, on February 8, 1877. According to Swedlun’s autobiographical sketch, the farm life was not appealing to him. He moved to Chicago, Illinois, and began study at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. It was there that he created the pseudonym Ernest Fredericks, a modified reversal of his first and middle names. Swedlun was influenced by Western American master painter Birger Sandzen, a Swedish artist and fellow Kansan. Swedlun developed his talent by constant practice, observation, and analysis. But it was nature itself, he said, that inspired him. He studied many different moods, developing through experience a technique entirely his own. His subjects were simple, often a forest path, a stream, a country road, or mountain cabin.
Following his studies at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, Swedlun exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago and in the All-Illinois art shows.He belonged to the Chicago Society of Artists.Swedlun’s paintings were often accompanied by either a typed biographical sketch or a reprint of a 1940 edition from the Chicago Daily News pertaining to a Swedlun exhibition. Swedlun found endless inspiration in the beauty of the Ozarks. In Chicago, Swedlun described the Ozarks as an “artist’s gold mine of color and composition.” In 1950, Swedlun and his wife, along with his son and daughter-in-law, moved to Eureka Springs (Carroll County). There, he resumed signing his art with his actual name, Fred Swedlun. Together with his son, Swedlun painted and taught art classes in the Ozarks until his death.
Biographical and portfolio citations for Swedlun are listed in Davenport’s Art Reference, The Artists Bluebook, Who Was Who in American Art, 1564–1975, The Annual Exhibition Record of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Index of Artists: International-Biographical. His works have been included in the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the State of Illinois permanent art collection, the Eureka Springs Historical Museum, and many private collections throughout the country.
Swedlun died on February 5, 1959. He is buried in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery in Eureka Springs.In 2010, as a part of the Twenty-third Annual Festival of the Arts, the Eureka Springs Historical Museum displayed the work of Swedlun and his son. The collection, in part, had been donated to the museum by the Swedlun estate and became a permanent exhibit at the museum.

- The Fog Rolls in Oregon CoastBy Howard John LittleLocated in San Francisco, CAThis artwork titled "The Fog Rolls in Oregon Coast" is an original oil on hardboard panel by American artist Howard John Little 1883-1965 It is signed at the lower right corner by the artist. The size of the panel is 19.5 x 24.35 inches, framed is 25.75 x 30.85 inches It is in very good condition. About the artist: John Howard Little 1883-1965 was an early California realist landscape painter who captured the essence of the new American frontier. He was a member of what could be considered the second generation of San Diego painters, following in the footsteps of Maurice Braun, Charles Fries and Charles Reiffel. Howard Little was born in 1883 to Charles Otis Little and Julia Griswold Little, a prominent Delaware Ohio family. As a young man he became an accomplished photographer and taxidermist, skills that would later benefit his work as a muralist for nature exhibits. Little was also fascinated with hydroplanes and aeronautics, and in 1902 he enrolled at Ohio State University where he studied engineering and art. One of his fellow students was the well-known painter George Bellows. After leaving Ohio State in 1906 he traveled to California, where he studied with the well-known stunt flier Lincoln Beachey. At the age of twenty, he again travelled west, this time to Colorado, where he worked as an assistant exhibit preparer for the Denver Museum of Natural History, painting the backgrounds for wildlife exhibits. He also began landscape painting under the guidance of the painter Henry Read. in 1916 he moved to the East Coast where he worked as a draftsman for Martin Aircraft and also the newly created Curtiss Aircraft Company. In 1918 he was employed by Army Signal Corps as an inspector of military aircraft made possible by the personal recommendation of then Senator, Warren G. Harding. In 1921 Howard and his wife moved to Chula Vista, California and did commercial illustration in addition to his painting. He studied with the well-known painters Alfred Mitchell and Maurice Braun, and in the mid-1930’s began painting professionally. During the late 1930’s he taught art in the San Diego County schools as part of the WPA Visual Curriculum Program. In 1940 he was hired to create a series of exhibits for the San Diego Museum of Natural History, the largest of which was the celebrated Migratory Birds of the Salton Sea that opened to the public in September of the following year. Howard Little often travelled the West Coast to paint, accompanied by his wife and young daughter. While the California landscape was the major focus of his paintings, his subjects also included scenes in Vermont, Washington, Arizona, Canada and Mexico. Little was a charter member of many San Diego Art institutions, and regularly exhibited his paintings in a number of local galleries. He was a founding member of the Southwest Artists Association in 1949. Howard Little was a highly regarded painter in the San Diego Art scene, showing side by side with artists Alfred Mitchell and Elliot Torrey...Category

- "Shoshone Canyon, West of Cody, " Oil PaintingLocated in Denver, COC.W. Mundy's "Shoshone Canyon, West of Cody" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts the rocky terrain and foliage in an impressionistic landscape. About the Artist: C.W. Mundy, an American impressionist, was born in 1945 and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. He graduated with a B.F.A. from Ball State University, in Indiana, in 1969 and then shortly thereafter traveled to California, where he painted, played music, and worked on his M.F.A. at Long Beach State. In 1978, he returned home to Indiana, worked as a sports illustrator for a decade, then in the early 1990s took on the challenge of painting in a more impressionistic style, going out of doors and painting en plein air, from life. This painting style led Mundy to a series of European plein air painting trips, beginning with a trip to France in 1995 and continuing through the present. In 2007, Mundy achieved master status in The American Impressionist Society and in 2003 he was invited to master signature membership in the Oil Painters of America. He is also a signature member of the American Society of Marine Artists. His work is in select public collections including the Art Museum of Grater Lafayette in Lafayette, Indiana; the National Art Museum of Sport in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle Indiana...Category
