About the Item
WESTERN LIGHT & SHADOW, Original Contemporary Realist Landscape Painting
24" x 40" x 1.25" (HxWxD) Oil on Stretched Linen
Artist Jim Lamb paints the rural pastural landscape with a keen eye for detail and appreciation for the natural light that dazzles across the fields. A well-balanced composition of water, grassland, trees, sky, and mountains this landscape beckons the viewer to pause and take pleasure in its existence. Cows can be seen dotting the foreground of the landscape, grazing through the golden grasses beneath a cloudy blue sky. Sitting on the edge between impressionism and realism, the work is reminiscent of the Romantic tradition of painters like Thomas Cole, John Constable, Caspar David Friedrich, and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot.
Artist Commentary:
WESTERN LIGHT & SHADOW represents a typical western agricultural and cattle ranching area near the Rocky Mountains in the Flathead Valley region of western Montana. I was born in western Montana and raised in the Pacific NW, so I have a soft place in my heart for all things Montana. My landscapes often capture glimpses of that part of the West, which is very much a part of my life’s experiences.
About the Artist:
Jim Lamb was born in Hamilton, Montana and grew up in the Puget Sound area of the Pacific Northwest. Having parents who appreciated art and the beauty of nature instilled in Jim from an early age the desire to create artwork. The family often made trips to the Frye Art Museum in Seattle, where Jim was exposed to the representational interpretations of many of the great German landscape painters of the past century. Their use of color and the handling of light intrigued the young artist and had a direct influence upon his interest in one day depicting the landscape in oil on canvas. In Southern California he slowly began to build his reputation as a freelance illustrator, while taking courses at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. But Jim’s long-held interest in the landscape remained with him over the years and he ultimately made the decision to pursue the painting of the landscape. Lamb’s entire illustration career was built around working from photographs, so the idea of working from life, with all the challenges presented by nature made him realize that he was going to have to learn how to paint and paint more rapidly. It was an awesome challenge. He took several workshops from leading contemporary landscape painters, which proved to be invaluable in his desire to pursue the direct depiction of nature. In 1991 Lamb was chosen Artist of the Year for the nationally recognized Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in Charleston, South Carolina. His work was also selected for the National Birds in Art Show which traveled to Japan and can be seen in North Light's book, The Best of Wildlife Art. The US Postal Service has included Jim's work in a show at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts displaying the best of 40 years of U.S. stamp designs, and the exhibition traveled to several other museum venues in the US. One of his stamp designs depicting the children’s novel, LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, is in the permanent collection of stamp designs at the US Postal Museum at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. Jim is a member of the California Art Club and has exhibited his work in the Club’s annual prestigious Gold Medal Exhibition, as well as exhibitions sponsored by the Pleinair Washington Painters, and the Pacific Rim Institute of Marine Artists. In 2008 Jim was awarded the merit award by his peers at the annual Western Rendezvous Exhibition for his painting, APPROACHING THUNDER. His work has graced the cover and was featured inside the May 2010 issue of Southwest Art magazine, as well as in the February 2001 issue. The February 2009 issue of Art of the West magazine also featured his work. Lamb has exhibited, beginning in 2001, at the historic Laguna Art Museum for its annual Invitational Plein Air Painting Competition held each October. In 2015, at the 37th Annual Salmagundi Club’s Juried Painting & Sculpture Exhibition, Lamb’s painting, MONTANA HAY, was awarded The Audubon Artists Award. Additionally his California galleries have held several one-man exhibitions of his work and a year-long exhibition of his NW paintings were displayed in the Governor’s Mansion Gallery in Olympia, Washington. He is the only living, Washington artist whose work has been selected to be a part of the permanent collection of the Washington Governor's Mansion Fine Art Collection. In addition to his fine landscape paintings being included in private collections throughout the United States, Lamb's work has literally been seen around the world in the form of limited-edition prints, collectible plates, greeting cards, puzzles, posters, apparel, U.S. postage stamps, sculptures, and many other forms.

- Descend, Original Signed Contemporary Landscape PaintingLocated in Boston, MADescend, Original Signed Contemporary Landscape Painting 30" x 20" x 2" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas Hand-signed by the artist. Artist Robert Crooker captures the sublime in this almost otherworldly painting of a cavernous sinkhole. A small figure can be seen descending through the expansive depth of the natural formation, their silhouette juxtaposed against a misty white backdrop. The composition features a vignette of darkness, broken up by the beam of sunlight able to pour down through the open hole, illuminating mossy green rocks. Artist Commentary: This is a pretty massive sink hole which is massively impressive so I tried to recreate the photograph of it onto canvas. I'm pretty happy! Artist Biography: Robert Crooker was born in Massachusetts in 1951. A life long Red Sox fan, he saw the likes of Frank Malzone, Yaz, George Scott, Rico, Jim Lonborg all play in years gone by. He has been married for over 27 years with 4 children, and 2 grandchildren. In the Mid-1970’s, Robert started collecting Vintage Disney Collectibles dated from the 1930’s and 40’s. His passion for collecting grew so rapidly that in the 1980’s it became a business. He bought and sold “DISNEYANA” worldwide, realizing thousands of dollars for single pieces of rare highly sought after Disney merchandise. Robert is the leading world expert on the values of these collectibles. As an adventure in American art, these rarities were created during a time when toy manufacturers had art departments employed with many artists that created some of the most beautiful children’s toys ever created. While running Disneyana – Mouse Man...Category
