Coyote in Colorado
signed "Francis Golden" lower right
watercolor on fabric, 14 1/2 by 23 1/2 in.Francis ?Frank? Golden was born in Adams, Massachusetts and began painting from an early age. He graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston in 1939 and shortly thereafter was hired to paint the background for Salvador Dali?s work ?The Dream of Venus? for the World?s Fair in New York. He worked steadily for many years, creating commissions for magazines such as Collier?s, The Saturday Evening Post, Gray?s Sporting Journal, and many others. Golden?s exuberant, colorful paintings appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and he was voted one of their top ten artists of all time.
Golden was a consummate sportsman who enjoyed the outdoors, whether fishing, hunting, skiing, or racing yachts. He travelled extensively and enjoyed painting plein-air watercolors, saying "I love the medium of watercolor! It allows me to paint loose, fast and smooth without hesitation and that is what creates action and the illusion of movement."
