About the Item

This is a one of a kind original painting by southern California artist, Wilbur Hawk. Its dimensions are 36" x 46" x 1.5" (HxWxD). It is acrylic on canvas, it is unframed. A certificate of authenticity will follow delivery. Here is what Wilbur Hawk has to say about his work: In my world Art is much more than an profitable activity or a lesson in culture. It’s something that moves me and saves me. Creating allows my mind to clear the noise and find new and beautiful ideas to enter my life. It’s a place for me to balance a relationship with my creator (GOD / Jesus / Holy Spirit). It's my form of meditation, prayer and worship. If you know any part of my story then you might understand the power that art has on the psyche. We are ALL artists trying to figure out how to fuel our expressions, some of us just ignore those impulses. This journey has taught me so much. To dig deep within, search my soul, to change the thoughts that have haunted me into something beautiful. I’ll never feel my art is fully finished, and that parallels to my personal self development. Keep striving, stay hungry, do all the things that make you feel uncomfortable, and dance like no ones watching! Keep your head up you beautiful humans.

  • "1940 - Boys on the Colorado" 4-Foot Acrylic Painting by Tom Perkinson, Framed
    By Tom Perkinson
    Located in Encino, CA
    "1940 - Boys on the Colorado" is an original acrylic painting on canvas by Tom Perkinson. His use of saturated violets, vivid yellows, and resplendent oranges pushes color to almost-otherworldly realms. The viewer is invited to step into the painting to explore the scene within and imagine gazing at an easel of a plein-air painter with the remarkable river scene, the yellow sky, red-hued terrain, and contrasting trees in full view. Here, Perkinson chose to depict a calm, but populated moment in time on the Colorado River, with boys fishing, enjoying the beauty of the landscape, and spending some quality time with a cherished pet. The city is in the distance, with bridges and large buildings fading out of site, except from the vantage of the viewer. You most certainly want to walk down and join them at the water for the afternoon. Perkinson describes his style of painting as "Romantic Realism," a technique that incorporates two iconic art movements. This style, in combination with the imagination of the artist, produces remarkable results, showcasing Perkinson's keen ability to capture emotion, nature, and life - all in a brushstroke. Both his technical talent and choice of subject matter pair perfectly with its original, carved, custom, gilt frame. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for landscapes, impressionism, romanticism, realism, plein-air painting, and nature. In the artist’s own words: “My color combinations aren’t in the realm of the natural world, because I don’t paint reality; I’m a painter of fiction. I try to paint a sense of place, as though this scene really does exist. I have had my collectors ask me where this scene is, and I just have to point to my head and say I made it up. Thus, I think of my work as romantic realism. I’m painting a certain reality that I’ve invented, inspired by the fascinatingly rich Southwestern landscape.” “Color gets all the credit, but it’s the values that do all the work. I don’t begin with sketches, because I want to be free to follow the painting in any direction. I start with washes of different values and tints. Then, I begin to look for a landscape. Several directions will appear to me at this time, and then I have to decide on one of them. During these first few moments, I must establish my distance from the scene. Am I a mile away or just across the river? This is one of the first steps, and I have to decide before I can continue. It’s important for working out the perspective and how things are going to relate to one another in the picture. Then, as the landscape evolves, I look for more images to add to the composition.” Artist: TOM PERKINSON (1940-) Title: 1940 - BOYS ON THE COLORADO Medium & Surface: ORIGINAL ACRYLIC PAINTING ON CANVAS (framed) Signed: HAND SIGNED AND DATED BY ARTIST LOWER RIGHT Year Created: 1982 Country of Creation: UNITED STATES Image Area Dimensions: 18 x 36 INCHES Frame Dimensions:* 30 x 48.25 x 2.75 INCHES *This work of art is being sold framed.

As a child, Perkinson discovered he had a love for the natural landscape, and a talent for art.

He received a degree in art from Oklahoma Baptist University in 1964, before moving on to graduate school at the University of New Mexico.
