William Joseph "Bill" Freeman (American, 1927-2012), oil on canvas, ca. mid 20th century CE. Signed on lower left. A stunning landscape painting depicting a picturesque sunset over a western mountain range. Freeman captured the glow of sundown, the golden sun just about to disappear behind the majestic mountains. Freeman is known for his soothing palette, and this painting does not disappoint with pastel peach, periwinkle, sky blue, violet, lavendar, sage green, white, and creamy beige hues. In addition, his style demonstrates influences of Impressionism and Expressionism achieved via a sophisticated use of palette knife and brush. Freeman presents us with an optimal view of this tranquil scene of a mystical mountain range from the pastoral land below. 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 30 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 and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
