John Potter
Itching for Spring, Bison Wildlife Oil Painting on Canvas, Native American Art

2021

About the Item

Itching for Spring by John Potter Bison Oil Painting on Canvas 10" x 8" 14" x 16" (framed) Landscape and wildlife artist John Potter was raised in the Great Lakes Country, and grew up with an abiding love for the natural world among the lakes, rivers and forests of the Great Northwoods. He discovered drawing and painting at a very early age, and went on to graduate from Utah State University with an Art Degree emphasizing Painting and Illustration. Potter spent 20 years as an award-winning illustrator and graphic artist in Montana before turning his attention to fine art on a full time basis. Of his work, he says, “Painting for me is an intimate form of communication with, and gratitude for, our Creator; for the life and beauty of this Earth and our remaining wild places.” Potter has exhibited his work in shows throughout the U.S., including the Arts for the Parks competition, and the prestigious Western Visions Miniature Show at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming. He paints en plein air and works to achieve visual harmonies in light and color. Working directly from nature, he believes in the all-pervading divinity of the natural world, and is always striving for an honest expression of the way light reveals beauty to his eyes and heart. John spends many hours in the field, observing and studying light, mood, and the ever-changing effects of atmosphere on the land. He carries paints and a sketchbook wherever he goes, and he travels extensively – yet his favorite subjects remain the rugged mountain scenery of the American West. He says, “When I step outside to paint, my intent is to orchestrate a moment of light, color, and my own emotional responses to those subjects on canvas. My hope is that the viewer will see the natural world through my eyes, and gain an appreciation for the quiet dignity that I find in the wild - perhaps even feel that sense of awe and gratitude as well – and hopefully, then, share a desire to help preserve this Earth that belongs to us all.” He is a member of the Salmagundi Club, the Society of Animal Artists, the Putney Painters (VT), and a Signature Member of the Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters (RMPAP).

  • I Came to Where the Lone Pilgrim Lay, River Landscape Oil on Canvas, Western Art
    By Michael Ome Untiedt
    Located in Whitefish, MT
    I Came to Where the Lone Pilgrim Lay by Michael Ome Untiedt Oil on Canvas, 36" x 48", 43" x 55" (framed), hanging hardware included. From the artist: "In Memory of Tom Horn: This is another of my feeble attempts to break down, to rage against the tyranny of time. I have fought this battle for a half century, yet my limbs grow slower, my hair more moon-bleached. I ponder as I apply brush strokes to the canvas, what thoughts pass through the viewer of this work a hundred years hence, two hundred years later? Will they know what I carry in my heart today? Am I on a great mandala of life, and will I return one day to this same experience, or am I adrift on a great "river" flowing endlessly through the Cosmos, heeding shoal water and seeking shoreline that is forever changing? A dear friend passed this week from the plague scourging our fair land. When and where will I hear his sweet self deprecating laughter again?" Born and raised in rural southeastern Colorado, Michael Ome Untiedt maintains a studio in Denver. Traveling extensively, he is known as a painter of the world who sees with a westerner’s eye. Through the color, brush strokes, and symbolic subject matter of his paintings, he attempts to examine the human predicament and its connections to the landscape and history of the American West. He is driven to portray twenty-first-century psychology on a nineteenth-century saddle! Untiedt has participated in numerous shows including the Western Masters Art Show and Sale, Settler’s West Miniatures Show and Art of the American West...

I paint because it’s the best way I know to communicate, study, and observe creative work that’s how Texas painter V…. Vaughan (the first initial stands for Virginia) describes her drive to create fine art. “It’s a calling,” she says of her life’s work, which has taken several twists and turns but has, nevertheless, led her down the path toward fulfillment. A lifelong Texan, Vaughan grew up in the Austin area and today makes her home in Round Rock, a suburb of the capital city. As a child, she exhibited a love of making art and played the role of the creative one among the seven children in her family, eventually working for several of her siblings as a sign painter and designer. Her parents forever encouraged her to appreciate and mine her passion, instilling in her that it was not simply a passing fancy, but an innate gift. “It was always conveyed to me that this was a God-given talent,” she says. Somehow that made me feel like it was something I was supposed to do. It gave me permission to pursue it. Vaughan attended college on an athletic scholarship, though she filled her schedule with art classes and subsequently secured an internship at an advertising agency. That introduction to the corporate world set her off in a new direction—she left school to parlay the summer job into a full-time position. She continued to work as a commercial artist for many years after that, winning several prestigious ADDY Awards and working on high-profile accounts for Samsung, the Lady Bird Johnson...
