James Elwood Reynolds, born near California’s Sierra Mountains, immersed himself in the wilds as a child, shaping his artistic vision. Inspired by a Frank Tenney Johnson calendar, he pursued art after World War II service, initially in commercial art and later in Hollywood studios. Despite his professional success, Reynolds kept a private passion for painting unspoiled landscapes, eventually settling near Sedona, Arizona, in 1967. There, among the red rocks and azure skies, he found artistic freedom. Joining the Cowboy Artists of America in 1968, Reynolds gained acclaim for his evocative landscapes, capturing untamed beauty that continues to define his celebrated career spanning over 30 years.
The painting appears to be in good condition. Under UV examination, there is no evidence of restoration or inpainting.
