About the Item
This breathtaking original oil on canvas painting by James Emery Greer (1903-1990), titled Battered by Wind and Storms, Sangre de Cristos, offers a striking depiction of Southern Colorado’s rugged landscape. The painting showcases a solitary tree, dramatically bent from years of enduring fierce winds and relentless storms, standing in front of the majestic Sangre de Cristos mountain range. The tree's twisted form symbolizes nature’s resilience and the harsh conditions of the region. In the background, the towering mountains rise with imposing grandeur, their rocky slopes and distant peaks capturing the essence of Colorado’s wilderness.
The artist has masterfully used soft, earthy tones of cream, brown, green, and hints of blue to create a harmonious yet powerful composition. The subdued color palette evokes the quiet strength of the landscape, while the blending of light and shadow highlights the mood of isolation and endurance.
Dimensions: This striking painting is presented in its original vintage frame, with the outer dimensions measuring 29 ¾ x 41 ¾ inches. The image size itself is 23 ¾ x 35 ¾ inches, creating a substantial and impactful presence on any wall.
This captivating landscape, with its dramatic portrayal of nature’s endurance, is a true testament to Greer’s ability to capture the essence of Colorado’s wild beauty. It’s an extraordinary piece for collectors, nature lovers, and anyone who appreciates the untamed spirit of the American West.

James Emery Greer
James Emery Greer was born in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, in 1903. He was educated in New England. The majority of his pieces are of landscapes, especially the grandeur of mountains and the streams rushing through. Before relocating to Colorado, Greer worked as a minister in Massachusetts. Once in Colorado, he became the director of graphics and publications for National Jewish Hospital. In 1971, he was interviewed for an article in the Colorado newspaper Rocky Mountain News in which he said, “I was always drawing and sketching but I never thought to do anything with it. It was a chance invitation to the Boston Business and Professional Art Club that triggered the painting." Greer had an interesting technique of working on his paintings from top to bottom. He has a mural of Wilson Peak behind the teller’s desk of the Colorado State Bank located in Denver. He continued to paint over 40 years and created a body of work that rivals his contemporaries. Greer’s paintings are in the permanent collections of the University of Indiana and Boston University as well as many private collections. Greer died in 1990.
