Original Oil Painting of Landscape by Walter Bambrook [SOLD]

Bambrook was born in New Mexico and lived in Albuquerque all his life. He attended Albuquerque High School and began his art education at the University of New Mexico. While at UNM, he began his four-year art training under Carl von Hassler. After his formal art education was completed, Bambrook taught many private classes and groups at UNM.

Bambrook received his first award at the age of thirteen from a national art show at the Chicago Art Institute. During his lifetime, he received many awards from other prestigious institutions.

Among his favorite painting subjects were isolated Northern New Mexico villages and mountain scenes. This painting, executed with palette knife in oil paints, is typical of his style. It is an excellent painting and in original pristine condition.

The colors are vivid and rich. The dark green trees backed by the purple mountain provide a band of dark colors in the middle of the painting, while the foreground is rich in earth colors and the sky in blue with wonderful billowing white clouds. The color palette demonstrates the true talent of this artist for portraying nature in an exciting venue.

The painting is signed Bambrook in lower right. It is not dated. It is framed in a handmade frame from La Plante Gallery and Picture Framers in Albuquerque.

Provenance: Exhibited at the “Santa Fe Tribute to Carl Von Hassler” June 2009 atadobe gallery santa fe.
