Washington Allston - American


Figure by a Lake

A single figure creates a mood of poetic reverie. Two can be a crowd in works such as this.

Bill Anton - American


Out of Canyon Shadows, 36 x 36 inches


Packing The Superstitions, 30 x 50 inches



Many would consider depictions of cowboys riding through canyons as Wild West kitsch, but this artist has excellent technical skills, design/composition, and knows how to create mood.

Louis La Brie - American, born 1950


The Long Way Home

A strikingly unusual composition. A evocative title can help create a particular mood.

The Isle of the Dead

Rocky islands can be more pleasing compositionally than cliffs or headlands.
Windswept trees add mood. Boats with figures add interest.
