Southwest Landscapes and Mixed-media Works
These landscape paintings, drawings and mixed-media works inspired by the Southwest United States and created by artist George Kendall Allen are examples of Fine Art that represent the beautiful expansiveness of the western sky and the mystical nature of the canyons and rivers of Colorado, Utah and Arizona, as well as down through New Mexico and across to the Big Bend of Texas.
George K. Allen’s original oil paintings, ink drawings & watercolors along with carefully crafted mixed-media works capture the mystery and magic of the Southwest and act as reminders of the sublime nature of this land and the awesome creative forces that formed these landscapes.
“I have been recording my impressions of the Great Southwest on paper and canvas for over 40 years. The territory from Texas through New Mexico, beyond Arizona and across Colorado and Utah contains some of the most dramatic and sensual land forms on earth. I have been guided to explore the mystery of these landscapes and how sky and rock meet to form that distinctive horizon line. It is a line that separates the solid ground from the mystical sky.”
George & Elaine moved in 2007 to the small, energetic town of Crowell, Texas, in Foard County on the Rolling Plains of West Texas, just a bit south of the Red River. The Crowell House Gallery is in the house that Elaine's great-grandfather finished building in 1908. They hope to turn the two story Victorian home into a bed & breakfast in the not too distant future. And George Kendall Allen continues to paint and photograph the landscapes of the Southwest United States.
