Gordon Brown Landscape Paintings
American
"There is something about just going to an edge and looking at space and air..."
A Colorado native, Gordon Brown speaks reverently of the majestic western wilderness that is his home, his passion and the main subject of his compelling paintings. The viewer is at once transported to an imperfect moment in time where light and cathedral-like rock converge. Hues of amethyst and clay colors vibrate with resonance and the sensation of space is infinite. Brown has achieved his aim: To create an intimate relationship between the viewer, himself and his beloved landscape.
From his earliest years he was rarely found without pencil or paintbrush. Weekend backpacking trips into the Colorado canyons were the ritual, and following days would find him assembling his newly found Ute arrowhead collection or painting Indians and their campgrounds. Teachers and artists strongly encouraged him to pursue his artistic talent, but this was not fully realized until years later when Brown was mesmerized by the work of Chinese artist, Shang Ding, who was to become his tutor and mentor. In true historical tradition, Brown apprenticed under Professor Ding of the Beijing Central Art Academy, accompanying him as they made their way through the landscape, emulating his every brush stroke in a plein air style.
Today the young Brown is recognized as a next Old Master. Taking Best of Show and First Prize in many competitions, 1992 culminated in the Grand Prize for Arts in the Parks "Grand Canyon Award" in which Brown superseded over several hundred applicants. His entry, "Breaking of Light" is expected to tour several southwestern museums and will become a part of the Grand Canyon Natural History Association's permanent collection.
The Denver Art Museum has purchased a large oil for their permanent collection. It hangs on the 7th floor. The Forbes Collection has also recently purchased a painting and Gordon was one of only a few American artists to participate at a show at the U.S.Ambassadors Quarters at The Hague.to

"Sunset", Oil Painting
By Gordon Brown
Located in Denver, CO
Gordon Brown's "Sunset" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts an atmospheric sunset.
"My paintings are all about light and mood," says Colorado native Gordon Brown. He never tires of the view from his converted barn/studio on the state's western slope, which allows him to observe firsthand the various moods and palettes of the seasons. Brown has come to appreciate the subtleties and drama created by changing light and regularly incorporates them into his work.
Brown grew up in Grand Junction, CO, and still lives nearby. Ensconced in his century-old home shaded by peach and apricot trees, Brown finds peace and inspiration in this bucolic oasis. From the balcony of his studio at the back of the property, Brown can survey the imposing Bookcliffs mountain range.
Brown made his first foray into art when he bought a set of oil paints while in high school. Although he had not painted until then, two of his oils won best of show and first place, respectively, in a high-school art contest. This early recognition sparked his interest in art and his desire to pursue a career as an artist. Brown also received encouragement from several established artists in the area. Shortly after graduating from high school, he was introduced to Mark Rohrig...

Delos Palmer Jr.
Tree in Winter
Signed lower left
Oil on Masonite
10 x 8 inches
Delos Palmer, Jr. was born January 26, 1890 in New York City. His father was Dr. Delos Palmer, a socially prominent Park Avenue dentist. His mother was Jennifer Emma Banta. His parents were both born in NYC, where they married in 1880 and had five children. There had three sons and two daughters. He was the fourth born. They lived in a private townhouse at 48 West 50th Street, with a cook, a waitress, and a nurse to assist in his father's dental practice on the ground floor.
They lived a privileged life and the children all went to the best private schools. He graduated high school in June of 1908.
He studied at The Art Students League from 1911 to 1915 with the renowned American Impressionist, George Bellows. According to the artist, "Bellows was a good influence on me. He taught me how to paint what I see and what I feel!"
In 1916 Palmer moved to the historic Holbein Studios at 139 West 55th Street. He worked there until 1920, when he moved to the more fashionable Greenwich Village, where he became a successful society portraitist.
He was 27 years old during the Great War, so he was not selected for military service.
In 1923 Palmer began to sell interior story illustrations to Metropolitan Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, and Liberty.
In 1924 he married Helen Smith Romme and moved to Stamford, CT, where they raised a daughter and two step-sons.
The fateful market crash of 1929 ended Palmer's high society portrait business, but he soon found work through his contacts at Liberty magazine's MacFadden Publishing, which also produced several crime and detective magazines such as Master Detective and True Detective.
He then began to paint pulp covers for Dime Mystery, Clues, Frontier Stories, Action Stories, Western Trails, All Star Adventure, Complete Western Book...
