William Joseph "Bill" Freeman (American, 1927-2012). Oil on canvas, ca. mid 20th century CE. A stunning landscape painting by American artist Bill Freeman presenting a dreamy view of a majestic mountain range delineated in soft hues of lavender, violet, and pink below clear blue skies from the fresh spring landscape below, rendered in vibrant shades of green. Freeman's painting possesses an almost ethereal quality thanks to his dreamy palette as well as a style that demonstrates influences of Impressionism and Expressionism achieved via his sophisticated use of palette knife and brush. A breathtaking piece! Size: 18" L x 24" W (45.7 cm x 61 cm)

Bill Freeman grew up in West Texas on a farm just outside of El Paso. Interestingly, he worked as a horse wrangler, fought forest fires for the U.S. Forest Service, and was a field researcher and guide for the Arizona Game and Fish Department for twelve years in Arizona, Wyoming, and New Mexico prior to becoming an artist. It was not until the age of thirty that Freeman decided to become an artist specializing in Western landscapes. Today he is considered a pioneer of Western art centered on such storied locales as Scottsdale, Arizona as well as Jackson Hole and Grand Tetons National Park, Wyoming.
