Sheep and Cottonwoods

Original Oil by Steve McGinty Art Size:  14" x 16" Framed Size:  20" x 22” Artist Statement: "My intention is not to copy nature, but to capture a peaceful moment with feeling, mood, and simplicity. Thus allowing the viewer to participate more in their own interpretation of the scene. If I give them all the information in the immense detail of a painting, I have robbed the viewer of their integral part of involvement in my work." "Some of my first memories I have growing up were of going to my Grandparent’s house off of 5600 South and about 1400 East in the Murray/Holladay area where Extra Space Storage and Vasa Fitness are today. My Grandfather had a wonderful Fish Hatchery where that whole shopping area is today. Every Sunday night we would go out from our house in Sugar House to get milk from his cow and watch the Wonderful World of Disney and Bonanza on the first color tv I had ever seen. Grilled cheese or tuna sandwiches, potato chips and carrot sticks with Mac Rootbeer and a choc
