Jim Duff~ Early River Gallery.My Stores Logo About the Artist: Morgan Weistling began his artistic training on his father’s lap at 19 months of age, where he learned how to draw and more importantly, use his imagination. Capitalizing on his father’s talent for telling a story in comic strip form, Morgan began to develop a sense of narrative in his drawing. “It was here that art became a language for me.” At the age of 12, Morgan applied his interest in art to studying his father’s art books and began his art school studies at the Brandes Art Institute at 15. Working in a Los Angeles art supply store while attending art school, Morgan chanced to show his artwork to a prominent illustrator. As a result of their encounter, at the age of 19, Weistling found himself employed at a top movie poster agency in Hollywood. For the next 14 years, Morgan illustrated for every movie studio in Hollywood. His clients included Universal/Amblin Entertainment, Disney, MGM, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Columbia Pictures and TriStar. In addition to movie posters, Weistling created all the cover artwork for the video series, McGee and Me for Focus on the Family and his art can be seen on numerous magazine, book, CD and video covers as well as Sega pinball machines. Since he has made fine art the focus of his art career, the collector demand for his originals has been overwhelming. With his masterful use of oils, Morgan Weistling brings a scene to life with spectacular lighting, creating a sense of wonder and engaging the viewer’s imagination and emotion. His dreamlike images touch the viewer’s heart, using more than sentimentality to engage the viewer. His canvases are filled with brushwork that tells a story beyond the subject matter. Like a skilled movie director, he manipulates the focus of interest with suggestions and impressions of forms that are barely realized and allow the viewer’s imagination to fill in the details. “There is a story underneath the story of my paintings,” Morgan adds, “I don’t hide the process of how I painted it. You can see the layers and count the strokes it took to get there. With some styles of painting, the closer you get to the canvas, the more you will see. With mine, the more you step back, the more detail you will see. That’s not easy, which is why it fascinates me.” Morgan Weistling follows in the footsteps of the masters he admires, John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn and Nicolai Fechin as well as many others. In all of his vibrant work, from western art to feminine forms, Weistling crafts a narrative, driven by clarity, focus and purpose, drawing on images inspired by his beliefs and scenes from daily life. “My hope is that people will enjoy viewing my artwork as much I enjoyed painting it. For me, art is my language used to communicate to others how I see God’s creation. When I experience another artist’s work, I love to see through their eyes and find out as much about the artist as the subject they painted. That is what makes art so interesting.” Weistling, a highly sought-after teacher, conducts private workshops with juried students and teaches at the prestigious Scottsdale Artist School. Recent honors and awards include the Patron’s Choice Award and the Trustees Purchase Award at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles, CA, the Prix de West Purchase Award at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK, and the Patron's Choice Award at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage. Weistling's book, The Image of Christ, was a finalist for the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association Gold Medallion Book Award. Weistling met his wife, JoAnn, in art school. Their daughter is often a model in Weistling’s paintings. They make their home in California. About this Piece: "While creating "Lemon Girl," I was inspired by the juxtapition of the girl against the subtle greens and blues which ran through the background.I regard this piece as my poem about the Lemon Girl rather than my full-fledged novel.This allows the viewer to fill in their own details,drawing them in as part of the painting."

    Diana Watson Pink Amaryllis Lithograph Print NEW Description *Artist: Diana Watson. Title: Pink Amaryllis. New Release Spring 2009! *Item # 1788. Lithograph on paper. Image Size: 18" x 18". *This new floral image will be shipped rolled in a tube for your best protection in transit. Thank you. Jim Duff~ Early River Gallery. Buyer pays for shipping and insurance. *About The Artist: “What inspires me to make art?” asks Australian artist Diana Watson. "Everything. It is a complete way of life, never far from my thoughts, seeing beauty all around me, colors, shapes, shadows, nature and the challenge of putting it on canvas. I love Picasso’s quote, ‘The purpose of art is to wash the dust of everyday life from our souls’.” Diana paints in oils on canvas or board and works from her studio overlooking Sydney harbor. An early memory is sitting and drawing with her father, and her art career flexed with the stages of life: school, marriage, motherhood. She studied fine and commercial art, and worked as an illustrator for interior design and fashion advertising. “When trompe l’oeil and painted furniture became fashionable I launched into that. Then came fashion drawing commissions, and fabric painting, anything creative. It was not until our daughters had left home that I was able to follow my real dream to paint full time.” Diana is a prolific artist of sumptuous still life paintings, Italy-inspired landscapes, horse studies, and the human figure. Though her daughters have families of their own, Diana remains creatively connected to them and finds their family conversations continually influence her work. “Design, in every form,” she muses, “is a constant topic of discussion.” Her husband, Bill, is her greatest support system and handles the business side of her studio. She is represented by galleries in Australia and the United States. *About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.
