I just won an Award of Excellence and three Special Recognition Merit Awards for artwork in the "12th Annual Contemporary Art Juried Online International Art Exhibition" hosted by Upstream People Gallery. This international exhibition received approximately 300 entries from around the world and 54 artists were selected by the juror Laurence Bradshaw, Professor of Art at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, U. S. A. Professor Bradshaw states this about this specially recognized work: "'WALT CURLEE of Phenix City, Alabama has an extraordinary facility with oil painting with a unique observance of a type of regional perspective. “Coon Gap Holler”, “Shucking Corn ‘Til Sundown”, “Taking Pumpkins To Market” and “Family Garden” are all brilliantly conceived and masterfully presented."'
Rural Winter 2010
Rural mountain landscape deer and squirrel in the foreground, farm and pastures fields and cows barn and homestead in the middleground and a small town in the background with a backdrop of mountains. Created in 2010 by me,Walt Curlee, oil on gessoed art board. Size is 16"x20".
The colorful world of Walt Curlee is rich in character, charm, and extraordinary detail. Fun, lighthearted energy is brought to life by his unique sense of perspective and his earthy, organic shapes.
