Ralph Love was born in Los Angeles, California in 1907. He died in 1992 in Escondido, California. For many years, Ralph Love taught as well as painted. On rainy days, his class would meet in the old Art Shack in Temecula, California, which Love opened in the mid-fifties. It was from this Art Shack that his work received national recognition.
Ralph Love was perhaps most well-known for painting the Grand Canyon and California landscapes. "Arizona Life" (magazine) featured his work on the cover and on the inside spread, showing several of his original oils. Senator Barry Goldwater owned several of Love's Grand Canyon paintings, and a letter from him stated,"...Love is the finest living American artist I know, and I could look at his work all day long."
Ralph Love paintings are hanging in several other museums throughout the West, including the Northern Arizona Museum in Flagstaff, Arizona, the Phillips 66 Museum in Oklahoma, and the Leanin' Tree Museum in Boulder, Colorado.
Ralph Love is listed in "Who's Who of International Art", in the Tenth Anniversary edition of the "Southwest Art Magazine" hardcover contemporary artist listings, Prize Winning Paintings published in New York, and has been featured several times in Southwest Art, Artist of the Rockies, Western Art Digest, and Art of the West. He is listed in the Edan Hughes reference book of Early California Painters from 1840 to 1940.
Though art was his career from his youth, Ralph Love was also an ordained minister. He often used his art in the ministry and would combine the two in special meetings in churches all over the West. A very special treat for the congregation was when he would pick up the violin and play a medley of favorite hymns. In his studio, he always painted to classical music and would often stop painting to play his favorite passages on the violin.
Ralph Love received no formal art training but was literally self-taught. It was when he was about eleven or twelve, his teacher took the class to the Los Angeles Museum of Art, and he discovered what he wanted to do. As a young artist, he had the privilege of painting for two years with Sam Hyde Harris. This was the only real "formal" training Ralph Love had.

Milford Zornes Original Watercolor - From Dana Point
By James Milford Zornes
Located in Phoenix, AZ
California Image by well known watercolorist Milford Zornes (1908-2008).
This work in mint condition, is signed lower right “Zornes,” and dated ‘67.
The watercolor is also signed on the verso ‘Milford Zornes, ANA’
and titled “From Dana Point.” This painting is unframed and
measures 21"h x 27"w. It’s a beautiful depiction of Dana Point in Orange County.
A prominent artist in the watercolor movement known as the California Style, Milford Zornes became especially known for his application of watercolor in broad brush strokes to large sheets of paper. He was born in Camargo, Oklahoma, and moved to Los Angeles while a teenager. In Santa Maria, California, he enrolled in Santa Maria Junior College, where he had art instruction from Stanley Breneiser and lived for a period of time with him and his wife, Babs Breneiser who was an art teacher at the local high school.
Then at age 20, he began adventurous travel that took him across the United States that had him working on the docks of New York City, and then shipping out to Denmark as a merchant seaman, a job that eventually led to a tour of Europe. He returned to Los Angeles by 1930, and studied at the Otis Art Institute with F. Tolles Chamberlain, and at Pomona College where Millard Sheets was his teacher. Throughout the 1930s, he was exhibiting widely including the 1938 Art Institute of Chicago International Watercolor Exhibition, Seventeenth Year.
Zornes did murals during World War II for the Federal Arts Project of the W.P.A., and was a United States Army artist correspondent in Burma and India. Because of the distinction of his W.P.A. and other wartime artwork, he was honored with a one-person exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC, and one of his paintings was selected by President and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt for the White House Collection. This attention brought him much positive publicity.
After the war, he lived in several locations in California and in 1963, Milford and his wife Pat, bought the Maynard Dixon summer home and studio in Salt Lake City, Utah from Edith Hamlin...
