The Western Art of Paul Kethley
Paul, a Colorado artist creates breathtaking original oil paintings on canvas of
dramatic western landscapes that include southwest art subjects, wildlife, and
sporting art. Kethley's western fine art paintings are carefully painted by the
application of rich deposits of pure color that give each painting a textured look.
In many of his paintings Paul places Native American, cowboy and fly-fishing figures
in Colorado mountain landscapes in such a way that reveals a story - free for the
imagination of the viewer.
Being one of the renown contemporary artists of the American West, Paul continually
works from life to produce plein-air paintings that serve as a study to later assist
him in producing a larger painting in the studio. At this stage Paul may incorporate
into the art work an American Indian on a Paint Horse in a southwest setting, a cowboy
with pack mule in the Rocky Mountains or a fly-fisherman angling trout on a Colorado
mountain stream.
Living in the midst of Colorado horse and cattle ranch country Kethley has also
developed a reputation as one of the premier cowboy artists in the Rocky Mountain
west who receives commissions for contemporary and historical western art paintings
for those who maintain western art collections in the area.
The beauty... dream for moment... whether it's a personal adventure you've had,
an experience you dream of having, or simply images of western heritage, imagine
it being expressed in the form of original oil paintings on canvas or archival
limited edition giclee prints signed and numbered from Paul Kethley. It is rare
indeed to have a western artist of this caliber offering to collaborate on
commissioned museum quality oil paintings on canvas or wall murals for your
home or office. Paul offers free art consultation on the initial visit with
potential clients who seek western art collections.
Limited edition, giclee prints on canvas of Paul Kethley's originals allow customers
to own some of his work at a fraction of the cost of an original, but yet still
enjoy the look of an original oil painting.
