RSSPainters of Utah’s Canyons and Deserts By Donna L. Poulton, Vern G. Swanson
I just browsed through the book “Painters of Utah’s Canyons and Deserts”
By Donna L. Poulton, Vern G. Swanson It was fun to see my work in the book and I was happy to see that my dad, Byrd Bartholomew was also included in the book although there must have been a misunderstanding about which painting they were publishing because the painting in the book is of Broken Bow arch in Willow Creek, not Bemnet arch over in Davis Gulch. However that is not a problem. Byrd painted them both numerous times and is more than deserving of any attention his painting efforts receive. He was a great example of a dedicated artist. Though little money or attention came his way as a painter he just kept on making paintings right up till the end. People who have an example of his work are dang lucky. I have included one of my dads paintings below.
Byrd Bartholomew’s oil painting of Utah’s Rainbow Bridge completed in 1966.
I love this painting so much that it makes my tummy hurt. that tree is so oooooo cool.
I love it!
