Biography
Douglas Ricks (1954-2003)
Born in Logan, Utah, Douglas Ricks and his family moved to Rexburg, Idaho when he was a child. His roots in the area hold deep historical ties, however, for the town of Rexburg was settled as a Mormon colony by his great, great grandfather.
As Ricks grew up, he was enveloped in art. His father was a renowned commercial artist who staged summer workshops along with outstanding artists such as Sergei Bongart. Despite this exposure to art at home and at the workshops, Ricks never seriously contemplated becoming an artist until he was nearly 18. "My father never pushed art on me, and I was just plain not interested…But the summer before I was 18, something happened…I got an urge to paint." After that, Ricks began to study seriously under his father and Bongart. He later studied art at Ricks College in Rexburg, but dropped out after two semesters because he felt that the curriculum wasn't helping him develop his talent in the direction he wanted to go.
Ironically, for an artist so engrossed with the subjects and solitude of the Tetons, it took a sojourn to New York City to help him make the final breakthrough to his unique style. In 1973, Ricks went to New York to fulfill two years of volunteer service for the Mormon Church. There, he encountered and began to study the artists and schools displayed in the museums. In 1975, Ricks returned to Idaho and put into practice all the techniques he had developed in New York.
Although his art was in demand, Ricks and his wife Cherie initially experienced some difficult times. However, with encouragement from his family, Ricks continued to paint full-time, and his hard work paid off. Now known for his paintings of the Tetons in Idaho, Ricks has perfected a soft-hued style of realism, in oil, acrylic or gouache, that remains distinctive in the realm of landscape art. "In my paintings, I depict a place where I'd like to be. Sometimes, I like to take myself away from the real and go off into a world that I've made for myself, through my paintings. I would like to be the Indians in the painting. It's sort of like a fantasy, but it's a fantasy I can make come true through my art."

Biography
Melvin Warren (1920 - 1995)
Melvin Charles Warren (March 19, 1920-August 4, 1995)
For western art to achieve the distinction of fine art, it must first satisfy an artistic criteria and only then deal with the particularity of western subject matter. Melvin Warren understands this concept. His work is an accomplished artistic statement that also presents images which are faithful to western reality.
Warren was born in California in 1920 and lived in Arizona and New Mexico before coming to Texas at the age of fourteen. He has seen the beauty and felt the lure of the Southwest and it stimulated his boyhood desire to be an artist. After service in World War II, Warren entered Texas Christian University and received a degree in fine arts. During the day, he worked in the best tradition of commercial art work, and in the evenings he painted out the western fantasies that crowded his mind.
These paintings and the process of creating them encouraged Warren to seek a gallery outlet. The subtle sensitivity to his subject matter and an obvious control of the technical elements of painting made his work readily acceptable to a broad range of collectors. He became a special favorite of Lyndon Johnson who ultimately acquired many Warren oils.
Melvin C. Warren is buried at Clifton Memorial Park, Clifton, Bosque County, Texas.
The artist was born in Los Angeles, California in 1920. He died in Clifton, Texas in 1995. The artist lived as a child on ranches throughout California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. He served in the Air Force during WWII.
Warren earned a degree in Fine Art from Texas Christian University in 1952 and also studied under Samuel Ziegler. His palette emphasizes earth tones -browns, reds, yellows. His subject matter emphasizes the history of the West - cattle trails and frontier forts.
He was a member of the Cowboy Artists...
