In his art, as in his life, Utah artist G. Russell Case is interested in honesty, simplicity, and purity. The landscapes he paints so meticulously are rendered with the intimacy of someone in tune with nature. The land calls to him like a lover. The intricacies and nuances of the natural world whisper to him seductively, speaking of patterns and beauty, color and light, mystery and promise. This has always been so, from the time he was a child.

From the front door of Maynard Dixon’s last home and property, this was a common scene. I love the crisp, cool feeling of winter against those sunlit cliffs.
