About the Item

This breathtaking original oil on canvas painting by James Emery Greer (1903-1990), titled Battered by Wind and Storms, Sangre de Cristos, offers a striking depiction of Southern Colorado’s rugged landscape. The painting showcases a solitary tree, dramatically bent from years of enduring fierce winds and relentless storms, standing in front of the majestic Sangre de Cristos mountain range. The tree's twisted form symbolizes nature’s resilience and the harsh conditions of the region. In the background, the towering mountains rise with imposing grandeur, their rocky slopes and distant peaks capturing the essence of Colorado’s wilderness. The artist has masterfully used soft, earthy tones of cream, brown, green, and hints of blue to create a harmonious yet powerful composition. The subdued color palette evokes the quiet strength of the landscape, while the blending of light and shadow highlights the mood of isolation and endurance. Dimensions: This striking painting is presented in its original vintage frame, with the outer dimensions measuring 29 ¾ x 41 ¾ inches. The image size itself is 23 ¾ x 35 ¾ inches, creating a substantial and impactful presence on any wall. This captivating landscape, with its dramatic portrayal of nature’s endurance, is a true testament to Greer’s ability to capture the essence of Colorado’s wild beauty. It’s an extraordinary piece for collectors, nature lovers, and anyone who appreciates the untamed spirit of the American West.

Boulder Canyon, Colorado Autumn Landscape Oil Painting by Irene Fowler, 1940s
By Irene Fowler
Located in Denver, CO
This vintage 1940s oil on canvas painting by Colorado artist Irene Fowler (1884–1969) beautifully captures the vibrant autumn landscape of Boulder Canyon. With a masterful eye for color and atmosphere, Fowler presents majestic mountain peaks framed by glowing Aspen trees in their fall brilliance, their leaves shimmering in radiant shades of gold, orange, and red. The scene reflects both the serenity and dramatic character of Colorado’s rugged wilderness, offering a timeless vision of the Rocky Mountains. Fowler’s keen observation of light and painterly brushwork bring the landscape vividly to life, evoking the crisp mountain air and golden glow of a Colorado autumn day. Her ability to balance natural grandeur with intimate detail makes this work an exceptional example of early 20th-century Western American painting. The painting itself measures 22 ¼ x 18 ¼ inches and is presented in a custom gilded frame with outer dimensions of 25 ¼ x 21 ¼ x 1 ½ inches, enhancing its elegance and making it ready for display. Signed by the artist in the lower right corner. About the Artist: Irene Fowler (1884–1969) was a pivotal figure in Denver’s early 20th-century art community. Born in Illinois, she later settled in Colorado, where she became both a respected public school teacher and a founding member of the Denver Artists Guild (now the Colorado Artists Guild). Best known for her en plein air landscapes, Fowler captured the beauty of Colorado’s mountains, Aspen groves, and mining towns with an extraordinary sensitivity to light, color, and atmosphere. She exhibited widely throughout her career, including at the Schlier Gallery, Chappell House, University Club...
