OLD CORRAL, DEATH VALLEY

Richard Lofton painted primarily en plein air,  traveling to the places he loved and found most fruitful. The lush Lowlands of South Carolina, where he grew up, the Big Sur coast of central California, Carmel-by-the-sea where he lived from 1945 until his demise, the Sierra Mountains, Death Valley, where he went yearly to camp and paint, Canyon de Chelly, Monument Valley and Mexico were places that called to him and where he spent much time painting. The work shown here is predominantly oil on linen, but he also worked in watercolor, pen and ink, ink and brush, charcoal, graphite, monotype and woodcut printing.
