About the Item
This mesmerizing contemporary expressionist painting by Utah-based artist Sharron Evans features oil and genuine gold leaf on birch panel, framed in a custom gold leaf frame. Rendered in rich earth tones, the composition contrasts deep reds, blacks, and ochres to create a swirling, dreamlike atmosphere—evocative of mist, wind, and movement.
At the center stands a luminous flaxen horse, encircled by a radiant gold leaf nautilus spiral that unfurls from its neck to its hooves. Drawing from sacred iconography of Byzantine, Russian Orthodox, and Italian Renaissance traditions, the spiral forms a golden halo—symbolizing grace, spiritual awakening, and natural order amid chaos.
Evans inscribes the phrase “Walking in Grace and Beauty” subtly into the piece, reinforcing the painting’s meditative and symbolic depth. Themes of mythology, transformation, and the natural world are woven throughout her work—deeply informed by her life on a pioneer homestead in rural Utah, surrounded by wildlife and Native American trailways.
Evans paints entirely from memory and intuition, never using photographs—infusing her work with emotional resonance, mysticism, and a profound connection to the wilderness. This one-of-a-kind painting is both a visual centerpiece and a soulful reflection on nature, spirit, and beauty.

Warlock
Located in Denver, CO
This original abstract oil and metal foil on board painting titled Warlock by George Cecil Carter (1908-1987) dates back to the 1950s. The piece is a striking example of Abstract Expressionism, painted in dynamic shades of dark blue, gray, white, orange, and purple.

Signed by Carter in the lower right corner, and titled and dated on the verso, this unique work is presented in its original George Nix frame, measuring 30 ¾ x 36 ¾ inches, with the image size itself measuring 23 ¼ x 29 ¼ inches.
About the Artist:
George Cecil Carter was born in 1908 in Woodward, Oklahoma, and became a prominent figure in the Colorado Abstract Expressionist scene. Despite having no formal artistic training, Carter developed a distinctive style, influenced by his diverse life experiences. He worked in various industries, including as a coal miner, gold miner, and machinist at Schneebeck's Industries in Colorado Springs for 20 years. During this time, Carter honed his artistic skills under the mentorship of Charles Bunnell, a painter from the Broadmoor Academy.
Carter’s works reflect the boldness and emotional intensity of Abstract Expressionism, with vivid colors and strong compositions. He worked primarily out of Colorado Springs and Canon City, Colorado, and exhibited his art nationally, including shows in Texas and Illinois. His contemporaries included fellow Colorado artists such as Al Wynne, Mary Chenoweth...
