Russ Tanner (1950 - )
+ Add Artist to My Preferences
A landscape artist of the west, Russ Tanner captures light, color and expansiveness in his Pleine Air and Studio paintings. His passion for expressing mountains and vistas represent a window to this world through his eye and his brushwork.
He followed his heart's passion, becoming a full time artist in 1992, with a degree from The American Academy of Art, honing his artistic skills as an illustrator for Hallmark Cards and in commercial art, advertising and design arenas.
Influenced by the art of John F Carson, Edgar Payne, and Nicholai Fechin, Russ works in a broad-brush impressionist style, grounded in his own style of painterly realism. His attention to color and value, by painting from life, along with design, add a dimension to his paintings that have been recognized by both collector and art critics.
As a Signature Member of Oil Painters of America, he exhibits in national and regional shows.
His work can be seen in major galleries in New Mexico, Wyoming, Texas and Utah and in national and international corporate and private collections.
