About the Item

Outlaw Mesa Shadows, oil on canvas 17 x 30 inches (Framed size: 18 x 31 inches), $2,900 Leslie Thomas returned to painting after working 20 years as a computer engineer. She has since studied painting under Mark Knudsen, Don Doxey, James McBeth, Tony Smith, Dave Dornan, Paul Davis, and Susan Gallacher. Under Knudsen's tutelage, a deeper relationship grew and soon the two were married. Painting is their passion, and it is all they want to do, whether it is touring the Intermountain West, or working in their Sugar House or Moab studios. About her work, Thomas says “Although, or maybe because, I have lived many years elsewhere, the beauty of my native state has always been my ideal. The Utah landscape - so much of it not for our use, not to our scale - has been my central experience of the beauty in this world. I want to make paintings that reflect this western land, not comprehended by faith or theory, but odd and beautiful, delicious to the eye and to the heart.”

Approach to Lee's Ferry
By Kim Whitesides
Located in Salt Lake City, UT
"Approach to Lee's Ferry" by Kim Whitesides, oil on canvas, 18 X 22 inches (Framed size: 21.5 x 25.5 inches) Whitesides made an impact in the art community at a very young age. While working as an illustrator in New York City from the late 60s through the mid 80s, his paintings appeared in many publications, including Time Magazine, Rolling Stone and Playboy. He received numerous awards from The Art Directors Club of New York and The Society of Illustrators. It was at this time that Whitesides began a period of bold work with the airbrush that emphasized the simplified spaces and clean lines of art deco and art moderne, for which he gained a national reputation. A native Utahn, Whitesides believes art is a language and an opportunity for his vision to inspire others. He continues to grow as an artist, as his art is constantly opening doors on new vistas...

San Rafael Reef #2

Located in Salt Lake City, UT
San Rafael Reef #2, acrylic on panel, 11 x 37 1/2 inches, $2,200 “It is my feeling that the desert country of the American West is too large, too wild, too gorgeous to be encompassed by traditional landscape painting. Our inherited aesthetic defines beauty in landscape as green and arable land or grand, breathtaking places. I feel the need to expand that definition. I want to portray the desert as it is right now; to dispense with the limitations of what has come before, to quietly point out the beauty of places that are harsh and forbidding to habitation but express an aesthetic of the wild. I strive to go beyond the sentimentality that often defines our images of the West. The scale of many of my pieces (an extreme horizontal) is a compositional strategy to capture the vastness of these places.” – M. Knudsen Mark Knudsen...
