Bill Freeman Painting "Peaceful Cave Creek" 1960s
William E. Freeman - also known as Bill Freeman (American, 1927-2012), "Peaceful Cave Creek", oil on canvas, ca. mid 20th century CE. A stunning landscape painting depicting Cave Creek, Arizona. Freeman depicts two bighorn sheep (one of the heavy-horned and curled Mexican species, the other perhaps of the flare-horned Nelsoni species) facing the majestic mountains from the desert lands below that are beautifully dotted with cacti - all in a dreamy palette of peach, mauve, sage green, sky blue, and tawny beige as well as a style that demonstrates influences of Impressionism and Expressionism achieved via a sophisticated use of palette knife and brush. Size: 23.875" W x 17.875" H (60.6 cm x 45.4 cm); 31.75" W x 25.75" H (80.6 cm x 65.4 cm)
Bill Freeman grew up in West Texas on a farm just outside of El Paso. Interestingly, he worked as a horse wrangler, fought forest fires for the U.S. Forest Service, and was a field researcher and guide for the Arizona Game and Fish Department for twelve years in Arizona, Wyoming, and New Mexico prior to becoming an artist. It was not until the age of 30 that Freeman decided to become an artist specializing in Western landscapes. Today he is considered a pioneer of Western art centered on such storied locales as Scottsdale, Arizona and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
