Fine Art Liquidation: New Paintings from Ruth Duncan

We have added more Ruth Duncan paintings to our collection that we have on consignment at Fine Art Liquidation. The artist that was born in Greeley, Colorado and spent her working life in San Antonio, Texas.

Mrs. Robert Duncan exhibited her artwork in the following galleries: Smithsonian Institute, U.S. National Galleries Washington DC, Witte Museum, San Antonio, Springfield Invitational Utah, and Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri along with many other galleries. She was an early Texas woman artist who had an impact on the River Art Group, San Antonio, Texas with their art scene. She visited Colorado and did paintings of early Aspen historic sites. She documented many Texas historic sites with her paintings and she noted the name and location on the back of her paintings to preserve the significant history of the piece. Ruth Duncan was recently featured as “50 Unknown Early El Paso Women Artists” displayed at the Hal MarcusGallery in El Paso, Texas.

So please check-out this Colorado native’s artwork on our www.FineArtLiquidation.comweb site.

FEATURED ARTIST: Ronald Wilkinson, Painter

Ronald Wilkinson, Painter is a painter of realism, showing a touch of impressionism, who has brought life and depth to painting through perspective, color and texture. His work reflects many years of experience both academically and privately. As you will see, the painting of life is his passion. When one considers the infinite variety of action of the human and animal forms, their suppleness, grace and strength of movement in the fleeting moment, it requires a knowledge of structure, an understanding of action and of insight into character to capture the true image.

FEATURED ARTIST: Jeff Velarde – Oil Painter

My work is devoted to telling the story of everyday life in urban settings around the world. I seek to capture moods and feelings in the settings and to take the viewer into that environment. When I am painting figures in these settings I try imagining what these characters are and what their story is. I come to my own conclusions about these people and try to convey what I think they are feeling. The end result that I shoot for is pleasing to the eye for its use of color, composition, and subject matter, but also something that transports the viewer to another environment and an interesting view into the human condition. Jeff’s works of art are highly detailed large canvas paintings inspired by his travels around the world.

FEATURED ARTIST: Charles Danford, Watercolor Painter

Charles Danford’s paintings depict familiar settings and subjects, primarily wildlife and landscapes. Surprising splashes of color and texture, bold abstract shapes and subtle yet powerful, design add unexpected, distinctive elements to this artist’s watercolors. Danford portrays his visions of nature using traditional and contemporary palettes, with colors that range from earth tones to sensationally vibrant hues.

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 07:49:42 -0600

Karen Parry-Wagner is a Fine Art Photographer who employs a variety of photographic and painting techniques to create her diverse and unique works. Rather than seeing photography as a medium with which to document a particular time and place, she uses photography to tell stories. Mystery, drama, and humor often come into play in these images, and the viewer becomes a participant in the storytelling via their own imagination and experiences. In some cases scenes, events, or characters are entirely pre-visualized, and then created by the photographer; in others, her interpretation of a subject or location may give the viewer a new or deeper insight into familiar concepts.

Karen studied art and photography in the Midwest before re-locating to Colorado where she earned a degree in photography at the Colorado Institute of Art. She worked as a portrait/commercial photographer for several years, and now concentrates on exploring her own vision. She is much more compelled by the subject and the story than by the medium; and often goes beyond basic photographic techniques to get the image she wants. She may hand color a photograph with oils; use infrared film, selectively burn or dodge an image in the darkroom, or use filters (on the camera or in the darkroom) to enhance the mood of a photograph or to direct the viewer through an image.

All original Black & White images are printed by hand from film on fiber based papers, by the photographer, in her dark room. She also does all her own film processing and print toning, and is known for her elegant hand-colored black and white original pieces. She uses medium and large format cameras (Bronica SQ-A, Cambo 4×5). Some of Karen’s images are available as Giclee Prints, made with Archival Inks on Archival Watercolor paper or Archival Photo-Rag paper. All photographs are mounted on acid-fee mount boards, and matted with acid-free white matte boards. Some images are available framed; all are matted.

Karen Parry-Wagner lives in Estes Park, Colorado with her husband, Jazz Artist, Max Wagner.

FEATURED ARTIST: Kate Gies, Glass Beads & Jewelry

Kate Gies‘ handmade glass beads have intricate detail and brilliant color and are the signature allure of her jewelry. In her Nebraska studio, Gies works each bead from 15 minutes to one hour in the flame before it goes directly into a digitally controlled kiln to be annealed for strength and durability. The beads are then cleaned, inspected and assembled into necklaces, bracelets and earrings. She compliments the natural beauty of the beads with sterling or Bali silver.

See more of her pieces at the Great Western Art Gallery.
