Jim Duff~ Early River Gallery.My Stores Logo About this piece: Though Lloyd Chavez is a Mountain Ute, he poses here with traditional Shoshone Indian accoutrements. Artist James Bama found him to be a particularly striking model and painted him four times over the years, here with a sparrow hawk tied in his hair, a seashell necklace draped across his neck and a deerskin quiver slung across his back. The animal hide stretched behind Chavez is covered in paintings depicting Indian dances, a buffalo hunt and a captured American flag. In the absence of a written language, such paintings recorded events in the life of an individual or family. Sometimes the paintings were done in calendar style, visually recounting the highlights of each passing year. The paintings often decorated a warrior’s tepee, so that all who passed could recognize the great deeds of the warrior within. James Bama was born in 1926 and grew up in the Northeast. He followed his early interest in art through New York’s specialized High School of Music and Art and the Art Students League. As a professional, Bama has earned a reputation for several facets of his talent. He freelanced briefly before spending fifteen years at the respected Charles E. Cooper Studios—at the time, the country’s top firm of illustrators—and more freelancing followed. Bama’s activities during this period were highlighted by artwork for the New York Giants football team, the Baseball and Football Halls of Fame, the U.S. Air Force and The Saturday Evening Post. Fans of pop culture may know him best as the artist who portrayed Doc Savage on sixty-two memorable book covers. Then Bama decided it was finally time to do what he most wanted to do. He moved west to Wyoming, where an artist “can trace the beginnings of Western history; see the oldest weapons, saddles and guns and be close to Indian culture.” He sold his first Western fine art painting soon after the move. The distinctive work of James Bama combines tradition with modern realities. In his much-acclaimed studies, Bama shows the contemporary West preserving its traditional culture. His portraits of inhabitants of the plains and mountains capture the true character of the West. Today the paintings of James Bama are part of many prestigious collections. Bama has been represented in major exhibitions throughout the West and has been presented in one-man shows in New York City. Bantam Books published The Western Art of James Bama in 1975 and The Art of James Bama in 1993. Jim was inducted into the Illustrator’s Hall of Fame June 28, 2000. Through his portraits of real people of the new West re-creating their history and heritage, Bama pays homage to the Old West and is renowned in yet another realm of the art world. *Please Note: This brand new pre-release offering will not be available from the publisher until late Sept. to Early Oct. 2008.

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."

Shipped flat for your best protection in transit. *This canvas comes already mounted on Museum quality stretcher bars, ready for framing. Thank you. Jim Duff~ Early River Gallery.My Stores Logo About the Artist: Bonnie Marris has taken an unusual path into art; she developed her talent by portraying animals “from the inside out.” While she was a student at Michigan State University, Bonnie illustrated several major books. One volume she worked on was a leading expert’s mammalogy text that contained several hundred drawings and detail studies. This massive project attracted the attention of noted zoologist George Schaller, who invited Bonnie to prepare the art for posters that would support his worldwide rare animal relief programs. Beyond academic training and emotional involvement, art requires another element for which there is no substitute: experience. Each year, Bonnie makes two major trips, and countless smaller ones, to observe and learn about the wildlife she loves. In 1980, one such voyage took her to Alaska, where she lived in the wilderness for six months. She recounts, “To get into a natural environment and see the animals on their own terms is as important as knowing the animals themselves. For instance, gray wolves on the tundra—the vast, vast tundra with the wind and other forces of nature at their most extreme—that’s what makes them what they are. To stand not far from a grizzly that is so overpowering, so beautiful and so large . . . to watch it pull up a small tree with a swipe of its paw and just a few minutes later see it delicately picking blueberries with its black lips. . . Alaska changed me; it gave me the biggest incentive to paint and increased my interest in the predators: the cats, bears, coyotes, wolves and foxes. They exist on so many levels. Their moods show in their eyes and we can learn so much from them.” *Please Note: This pre-release offering will be shipping mid-to-late Oct. 2008. or as soon as it arrives from the publisher, Greenwich Workshop.

About the Artist: Dean Morrissey has been drawing and creating characters since his childhood in Boston. Inspired by Disney matte paintings and comic book heroes early on, he grew to appreciate the works of the masters, such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Pyle and N.C. Wyeth. Morrissey worked a variety of job until deciding to paint full time in the late 1970’s. He worked as a freelance book cover illustrator for over 15 different publishers in New York and won numerous awards. Morrissey is self taught, and considers the demands of cover illustration to have been his “art school”. In 1991, Morrissey began to paint some images from a story that he was creating. His books include Ship of Dreams Harry N Abrams (1994), The Great Kettles: A Tale of Time Harry N Abrams (1997), The Song of Celestine Little, Brown and Co. (1998), The Christmas Ship HarperCollins (2000), A Christmas Carol Greenwich Workshop Press (2000), The Moon Robber HarperCollins (2001), The Winter King HarperCollins (2002), and The Monster Trap Harper Collins (2004).

Morrissey lives with his wife Shan and his son on the South Shore of Massachusetts. About this Piece: More invigorating than the first nip of frost in the air, more uplifting than colored lights in the neighborhood trees, more highly anticipated than a snow day, is Dean Morrissey’s annual tribute to Santa Claus. This year’s elegant portrait celebrates the quiet joy of the holiday season, with Saint Nick seemingly captured in a moment of contemplation mere minutes before setting out on his celebrated annual route through the skies.

Jim Duff~ Early River Gallery.My Stores Logo About The Artist: "Bonnie Marris' firsthand knowledge of wildlife brings an emotional involvement to her art, and, in turn, to the viewer."Seeing animals in their natural environment and on their own terms is as important as knowing the animals themselves," says Bonnie. Her passion for her subject is only eclipsed by her mastery of the elements of color, composition, light and emotion in aligned perfection. "You never know when a spark which leads to a painting will first appear. About This Piece: With thundering hooves, flashing eyes and pounding hearts, Bonnie Marris’ horses represent all that is truly wild in great wildlife art. Their exhilaration is contagious and their spirit truly indomitable, as Marris’ skill with the brush and empathy with the animal soul brings their joyous freedom to life. Each morning, as the sunlight rolls over the mountains, these three horses stretch their muscles and begin their travel across the countryside. Today’s leg of the journey begins with a refreshing splash through an ice-cold stream, fresh from the mountaintop. As the water leaps into the air around their knees, the exuberant animals will take different paths over the uneven bottom of the creek bed, but by sunset they will find one another again. By the time the last star has appeared in the evening sky the family will be safe at rest, gathering strength for the next day’s run. About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.

Is it wise to introduce one of the most renowned painters of the Grand Canyon as a Greenwich Workshop artist with a Rocky Mountain landscape? It is if you want to make the point that he is a landscape artist of the first order, no matter what his subject may be. Certainly the good folks at The Eiteljorg Museum’s Quest for the West Art Show and Sale would agree. Walters won both the Patrons’ Choice Award and the Victor Higgins Award of Distinction at their event in 2007 with September Afternoon at Lake O’Hara. Curt Walters is a plein air impressionist known worldwide for his impeccable depictions of the Grand Canyon. As early as 1997, Art of the West magazine heralded Walters as the “greatest living Grand Canyon artist.” Since then, he has expanded his award winning repertoire to include the landscapes of Asia, Europe, South America, Africa and the expansive beauty of North America. Art of the West includes Walters in their category of “Eight True Masters” noting “many museums and collectors do not consider their collections complete unless they include aWalters painting.” Walters was also the recipient of the 2008 Trustees’ Purchase Award at the Masters of the AmericanWest Exhibition and Sale at the Autry. Curt Walters of Sedona, Arizona is a plein-air impressionist known around the world for his impeccable interpretation of the Grand Canyon. Although near and dear to his heart, the Grand Canyon is not Walters’ only scenic love. He often returns to Colorado and New Mexico for painting sojourns, and while his North American travels have taken him from sea to shining sea and from Canada to Mexico, his overseas journeys have brought Walters to some of the world’s most exotic locations. Each year Walters’ artwork can be seen at many of America’s top Western art shows. Three of the most prominent are the Prix de West exhibition at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, the Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale at the Autry National Center and the Quest for the West at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. Within the last decade Walters has won over ten awards from these prestigious exhibitions, including three Patrons’ Choice awards and two Purchase awards. About This Piece: There is no vista more essentially American than the Grand Canyon, and no painter better suited for it than Curt Walters, who Southwest Art magazine recently declared "…conquers the Grand Canyon." With a growing pile of awards from the most prestigious exhibitions in the country—the Masters of the American West, the Prix de West and the Quest for the West, to name a few—Curt Walters has the best seat in the house as, brush in hand, he welcomes us into the majesty of the Grand Canyon. "When winter cold fronts approach the Grand Canyon from the northwest," says Walters, "many days remain overcast and frigid. But there is a magical time in the late afternoon when the sun drifts below the cloud bank and its rays burst through the cheerless gray like a spotlight. Suddenly, the grand earthen temples are aglow in color, their rugged shapes so ornately defined. Suddenly Aglow was inspired from a moment just like that. I wish everyone could have an opportunity to see the Grand Canyon in a similar way." About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.

Jim Duff~ Early River Gallery.My Stores Logo About this piece: Judy says about this piece: "The word freedom is a powerful, emotionally charged word,evoking ideas of independence,free will, opportunity, and inalienable rights. Freedom enables change, learning, understanding,rescue and salvation. The very nature of the word,"Freedom",however,implies that there are those who are not free. *The three hidden eagle images in this piece symbolize Judy's deep desire for freedom in America, not only for its citizens,but also for its wildlife. The single, proud and wild horse symbolizes the millions of other wild horses that once roamed our great land. And, the eagle feathers refer specifically to a time when Native Americans lived freely with pride and purpose. Let there be "Freedom For All." Judy Larson always knew she was going to be an artist. She was surrounded by them as a child, and was particularly inspired by her father, a professional illustrator. Judy received a Bachelor of Science degree in Commercial Art from Pacific Union College in Northern California, then spent the next 17 years as a commercial artist, illustrator and art director. In 1988, influenced by her love of nature and animals, Judy devoted her time to wildlife art. Her primary focus in each of her paintings is the animal, with the horse as a recurring subject. Her unique approach to her work is through the use of scratch board--a technique that can render magnificent detail but one requiring infinite patience. Scratch board, an old, but little used medium, consists of a smooth, thin surface of hardened China clay applied to a board. The subject is then painted solidly with black India ink to create a silhouette. Now the exacting work begins, engraving the image into the surface of the artwork. While many artists use steel nibs or engraving tools, Judy prefers to work with X-acto blades, changing them ever few minutes to produce as fine a line as possible. Once the subject has been totally scratched, it is a finished black and white illustration, ready for the artist to add color. The methods of adding color are diverse. Judy prefers a combination of airbrush, gouache or acrylics for finishing, with frequent rescratching for detail. Scratch board is a demanding medium, one that Judy has used masterfully in developing her unique approach to wildlife art. About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.
