Western Landscape Painters: George Carlson, Lon Chmiel,

George Carlson
I love the  grand sweep of the landscape, the 
careful observation of the geology of these dry western places, and the muted colors. The perspective adds to the drama of the vision, as if one climbed a mountain to see the view from the top.

Len Chmiel
I have seen this artist at the Autry Museum for Western Art exhibit of western artists in other years, and I love discovering him again.  The brushstrokes are confident and revealing.

Crowns of Zion

I've not seen this artist before.  His on-line work looks like Andrew Wyeth's, and I can't find much western landscape, but this is marvelous - a subtle low key image of magnificent Zion.
