Howard Behrens Art
American, 1933-2014
Howard Behrens was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1933. He earned a master's degree in painting & sculpture from the University of Maryland, College Park. He developed a method for creation that combined travel, sketching, fine art photography and painting. Behrens' style got thicker and thicker and heavier and heavier with the use of his palette knife. Eventually, he said of his artwork being a creation of paintings that integrate what he calls, "big, juicy chunks of paint." He died in 2014 after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease.(Biography provided by The Loft Fine Art)

Windmill And Well At Dusk - Original Vintage Lithograph

Located in Soquel, CA
Windmill And Well At Dusk - Original Vintage Lithograph
Original vintage black and white lithograph of a windmill and well at dusk by Peter Hurd (American, 1904-1984).
The viewer looks out into the New Mexico desert, as a windmill stands in back of a full water tank. The setting dusky sun lights the horizon as the crescent moon comes into view. Simple, beautiful New Mexico desert scene.
Signed in print575 "Peter Hurd" lower right.
Presented in a silver frame with an inner white mat.
Frame: 15.25"H x 19.25"W
Mat: 14.5"H x 18.5"W
Image: 8.75"H x 10.25"W
Peter Hurd (American, 1904-1984) was an American painter whose work is strongly associated with the people and landscapes of San Patricio, New Mexico, where he lived in the 1930s. He is equally acclaimed for his portraits and his western landscapes.
Early in his life, Hurd studied in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania under the noted illustrator N. C. Wyeth, along with two of his grown children. Hurd later married the painter's eldest daughter, Henriette Wyeth, who also is known as an accomplished painter. During World War II, Hurd worked for Life magazine as a war correspondent attached to the US Air Force. He created hundreds of "War Sketches".
Hurd came to national attention in the 1930's for both painting and book illustration. Among the books are Last of the Mohicans (1926), Great Stories of the Sea and Ships (1933), and Habit of Empire (1938). Nevertheless, he was most associated with the New Mexico subjects which occupied most of his career. He worked primarily in egg tempera on gesso, a medium he introduced to his younger brother-in-law, Andrew Wyeth. Hurd's realist palette and brush technique of fine, linear marks and hatches beautifully conveyed the scrubby high-desert landscape. He loved to explore the visual effect of constantly changing weather and sunlight on the land. Hurd also was known for his honest yet sympathetic portrayals of local ranch and farm families going about the work and pleasures of their daily lives.
Sponsored by New Deal art programs, Heard painted murals for the Big Springs, Texas Post Office in 1938 and the Terminal Annex Building in Dallas in 1940. In that latter year he also completed three fresco murals at the Alamogordo, New Mexico Post Office. From 1942 to 1945 Hurd worked as a war correspondent for Life magazine and then resumed full-time painting. During 1953 and 1954 Peter, Henriette, and two students, Manuel Acosta...

About the artist.
Coming from a very western tradition in Wyoming, John Maxon developed an expansive view of nature . Moving eventually to the San Francisco Bay area, John's delight in the effects of light and color led him to the decision to become an artist at the young age of 15. His natural ability was encouraged, and at 16 he began figurative art classes with Howard Brodie, the artist well known for his WWII correspondence, drawings and the Watergate trial drawings.

Artist’s Statement:
I have been surrounded by artists virtually all my life. I received my first drawing instruction at the age of six from my father. We were living in New Mexico at the time and he was an avid amateur landscape painter there. Although I dabbled in painting off and on for years, my first career took a different path. Following a BA from the University of Colorado and a PhD from The Ohio State University I entered a career in neuroscience research. However, in 2004, I committed to painting full time and was almost immediately rewarded with the joy of recreating scenes I loved. I am indebted to numerous mentors along the way including Mark Tompkins, Skip Whitcomb, William Scott Jennings, Jim Wilcox...

This original World War 1 poste presents well, but the fold marks have been restored during the linen backing process.
The occupation of Belgium was a major propaganda theme of the First World War. There were horror stories of how the civilian population was treated and, true or not, they became fodder for the persuasion machine that was created to stir up the populace for a variety of causes, most having to do with raising money via bond issues. This especially powerful and frightening image, was created by Ellsworth Young...

Sonoma Mountain Meadow Landscape
By Donna McGinnis
Located in Soquel, CA
A beautiful soft landscape Giclee of a glowing meadow in the Sonoma Mountains by Donna McGinnis (American, 20th century). Signed "Donna McGinnis", titled "Sonoma Mountains", and numbered "5/195", lower edge. Limited edition Giclee, high resolution long life inkjet print, Edition 5/195, printed on Epson Somerset velvet cotton rag paper. Displayed in a custom mat and wood Italian classical frame. Image size 29"H x 39"W. Paper size, 32.5"H x 42.5"W.
Donna McGinnis was born in Spokane, Washington. McGinnis grew up in an artistic family. Her mother was an artist, her grandmother a musician and her father a photographer. Drawing came naturally to her as she had very vivid memories of admiring her father’s black and white photography. These silvery prints inspired McGinnis. Through his love affair with the still image, McGinnis learned composition, chiaroscuro (light and dark tonality), form and line, in essence the basics of formal art theory. McGinnis had a childhood babysitter and mentor who taught her and her two sisters art...
