About the Item

In this New Mexico landscape by John Wolfe, 'Church, Dilla, New Mexico,' a stark, primitive church with steeple is seen from its side with two arched windows, handicap ramp and propane gas tank. The white stuccoed church is set against a bright blue cloudless sky with pink/orange reflections of the sun and the orange dirt on the ground. The sun's reflection and shadows are prominent against the surface of the church. John Wolfe is originally from Davidson, Oklahoma having graduated from Southwestern Oklahoma State University with a degree in Art Education and a M.Ed. from the University of Central Oklahoma. John taught art in public schools for 35 years and was an adjunct art faculty at Rose State College and Adams State University. John’s work has been exhibited extensively across Oklahoma and the surrounding region at venues including the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, the Philbrook Museum of Art, the Oklahoma State Capitol, the Hot Springs National Park Sculpture Invitational and the National Weather Center Biennale. Since his retirement from teaching in 2005 he is a full-time studio artist painting and sculpting. His most recent series of acrylic paintings are architectural in nature and his current focus is a new group of figurative mixed-media sculptures.

'Landscape Near Cundiyo, NM', by Webb Young, Watercolor Painting on Paper
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This 20.25" x 27.25" watercolor painting captures a winter landscape near Cundiyo, New Mexico, rendered in a naturalistic style. The foreground is populated with dark green shrubs, their colors providing a stark contrast against the white snow. These elements add a sense of depth and dimension to the scene, drawing the viewer’s eye into the painting. Starting in the foreground and continuing into the distance, is a partially visible dirt trail, blanketed with snow. The mid-ground features rolling hills blanketed in snow and dark foliage. In the background, distant mountains rise against the sky, their peaks slightly obscured by mist or clouds. This not only adds a sense of scale to the scene but also creates an atmospheric effect. The sky, painted in light blue hues, suggests a calm, clear day. The overall tranquil color palette balances the more detailed and textured elements of the composition. The painting is encased in a light brown, wooden frame, with a thin white inner boarder, complimenting the natural theme of the artwork. Webb Young (1913-2005) was a renowned artist known for his depictions of New Mexico landscapes, architecture, and people. Young was born in Covington, Kentucky on September 2, 1913, and his interest in painting began at age 11 with art classes at the Chicago Art Institute. From 1925 through 1928, he studied painting in New Mexico under the famous Southwestern painter, Gerald Cassidy...

Old New Mexico Church, Oil Painting
By Sherri Aldawood
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Sherri Aldawood came across this old church in a forested area east of Santa Fe, New Mexico. "The setting sun cast a warm glow on the building, which I found very appealing," she says.


About the Artist
Sherri Aldawood didn't intend to always paint flowers, but over time her love of gardens started to permeate her art. She focuses on the light and color of the flowers on the canvas. Sherri prefers alla prima, working with wet layers of paint instead of letting them dry. She keeps the paint as wet as possible by using walnut and clove oil to extend the drying time.

The White Church, Rumford Center, Oil Painting
By Doug Cosbie
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Doug says of this pastoral American landscape, "On Highway 2 along the Androscoggin River in Maine is the village of Rumford Center, where there is a small United Church. Its simple design and white facade are an iconic symbol of 19th century America. The church hasn't changed over the years, but the surroundings have. This painting is how I perceive the church and things were back in the simpler times when agriculture was the primary livelihood of its parishioners."
