24" x 36" original oil on linen canvas, by Mark Ogle. St. Mary Lake with Wild Goose Island, early morning.
Mark was born in Helena, Montana in 1952. He was raised and educated in Kalispell where his first venture into the art business was to help the Ace Powell Bronze Foundry in 1970. After three years of military service with the U.S. Army in Germany (and a third place finish in the European Armed Forces pool tournament), Mark committed himself to a career as a painter.
Mark began studying art under many contemporary artists including Joe Abbrescia, recognized as "one of America's most accomplished impressionist painters", Robert Cavanaugh, Ace Powell, and the late Bud Helbig of the Cowboy Artists of America.
Mark has earned a substantial reputation as one of the most talented landscape painters in America. His bold, colorful oil paintings and soft pastel watercolors have attracted the attention of private and corporate art collectors throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Mark has won many of the top artistic awards in the Northwest and Canada, including "Best of Show Awards": Wilson Hurley, one of the greatest living landscape artists in America, judged Mark's work Best of Show at the Kalispell Art Show & Auction in 1979. He won the same award again in 1982 from show judges Betty Harvey, a nationally known art editor and critic, and Mary Hunter, owner of the Hunter Gallery in San Francisco. In 1981 he won Best of Show at the Stockmans Federation show in Calgary, Alberta. In 1982 Mark was the first recipient of the Ace Powell Memorial Award. From 1987 thru 1998 Mark was placed four times in the Top 100 of the prestigious Arts for the Parks competition. This competition is sponsored by the National Parks Academy of the Arts and is a national competition. Mark is among only a handful of American artists to receive this award four times! The New Horizons competition in Las Vegas awarded Mark Best of Show in 1999.
His work has been on tour throughout the Nation including the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC. He has been featured in Southwest Art and Art of the West magazines, and in a new book from International Fine Art Collector Press, The New American Impressionism.
In the pursuit of art, Mark has found himself traveling around the globe. As the featured artist in the first western art exhibition ever to appear in the Republic of Ireland, Mark's work completely sold out and received great critical acclaim. Selected as a delegate to represent Montana and the Arts by the Montana Chamber of Commerce he traveled to Komoto, Japan as an honored guest of the Japanese. From painting in the vast and beautiful locations of our National Parks to dock-side marinas or a quaint street scene, Mark finds himself at home around the world.

Artist's statement:
When I paint, my heart sings inside me. Color, texture and the golden glow of morning light inspire me. I hike, hunt, paint and fish in northwest Montana and my paintings reflect the freedom and openness in my life. My friends call me Montana Jane and I think it fits because the woods, the water and the wilderness tantalize me with the feel of the wind, the smell of the pines and the sound of bird songs. Art is my voice and so, my paintings sing with joy. Collectors say my art allows them to travel back in time to the days when life moved at a gentler pace in the Land of the Big Sky.

Experience the spirit of the Wild West in this 8.5" x 15.5" original by famed American artist Ace Powell.
Featuring teepees, an Indian man and his horse.
Asa Lynn "Ace" Powell (April 3, 1912 - January 25, 1978) was an American painter, sculptor, and etcher of genre scenes and imagery relating to Indians, cowboys, horses, and wildlife. His artwork was influenced by that of fellow Montana artist Charles M. Russell.
Powell's lifetime body of work consists of between 12,000 and 15,000 artworks. Although he preferred working with oil paints, he also produced a large number of watercolor paintings and drawings, as well as a number of works in bronze, terracotta, and wood.
In about 1952 he attended the University of Montana on the G.I. Bill. He found that the university's art department stressed abstract art, which wasn't a style particularly well suited for a realist painter such as himself. One of his teachers told him that he couldn't make a living as an artist and would have to teach art.
When another instructor revealed that as a first-year teacher he was making $4,400, Powell replied, "Well, I'm an alcoholic and I was drunk half of the time last year and still make $7,500 so I've got no business here!" With that he quit.
He subsequently took a correspondence art course and learned to organize the things he had been taught over the years into formal presentations.

After studying art at Montana State University and the University of Montana, Monte opened his first studio in 1974, beginning a successful career in fine art and graphics. His best known early works - wild animals wreaking havoc in human homes - comprise his "Invaders Series," exploring the myths of the West and how we view our relationship with our environment.

American Storytellers, by Andy Thomas
12" x 16" framed print, signed, open edition
Imagine being privileged to sit around a camp fire with a few of the American Storytellers from different eras of our great country. This wonderful scene of these famous men gathered under a full moon to share their amazing stories could only be created by the very talented Thomas. History comes to life as these gentlemen of various walks of life recall people, events, and places. As one of the American Storytellers enthralls the group, who will be next with a great tale of his own? Can you identify each of these American Storytellers?
Charles Russell, Benjamin Franklin, Frederic Remington, Andy Thomas, Will Rogers, Ernest Hemingway, Ronald Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Bill Cody and Norman Rockwell.
Andy Thomas, artist, is not only an immensely talented painter, but also a storyteller with the images he creates. His subject matter consists of a variety of images from historical events to intimate moments of everyday life. The artist's desire to create is funneled into the area of painting realism that ranges from a very loose, almost impressionistic style to very tight, realistic depictions. Thomas's medium is primarily oil, but he also works in watercolor, pen and ink, charcoal, pencil, and ink wash. He is also a very accomplished sculptor.
Primarily self-taught, Thomas began his professional art career in 1991 after sixteen years with a major advertising agency. In his studio, the artist creates his unique paintings that tell their "stories." Thomas says, "I never consciously ponder elements of design or principals of design… I rely on my sketches to refine a value scheme as a starting point. They also help me visualize the completed painting and consider light, painting technique, subject or object importance, and other considerations. The viewer's eye-path is a big influence on the composition at this point and all through the painting process." Thomas's style has been compared to Russell and Remington. He says he has also been influenced by Howard Pyle, Richard Schmid, Norman Rockwell, and others.
A variety of Thomas's historical images have been used in books and featured on book covers. Some paintings have also been featured in numerous magazines. The artist's original works are in many private and corporate collections and also in the permanent collections of museums around the country.
Thomas exhibits in several shows annually, such as the C. M. Russell Art Auction, the Best of the West at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis. The artist also enjoys judging art shows and teaching children and adult painting classes. He is a talented writer and published a book containing over 100 color images of his work, along with stories written by him.
The artist is a member of the famed Salmagundi Club in New York, The Portrait Society of America, and other art organizations. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Missouri Southern State University with a BS in Marketing Management.

This aircraft, N3789G, is a 1955 T-34A Beech Mentor. The T-34 was manufactured by Beechcraft for its role as the primary trainer for the Air Force and Navy and hence the name Mentor, as in "teacher". It was the first post-WW2, specifically-designed military trainer. The "A" model was used by the Air Force and the "B" model by the Navy. There are only minor differences between the two models. A later version, the "C" model with a turboprop engine, greatly extended the life of the T-34 with the Navy. All T-34s are set up in a two-seat, tandem configuration. For most flights the student was in the front seat with the instructor in the back. Positions were switched for instrument training with the student in the rear covered by a large canopy with no view to the outside world to simulate being in clouds.
N3789G has been modified with several structural improvements, an engine upgrade, new paint, and up-to-date avionics while still matching the appearance of a 1950s plane on an Air Force base. The restoration took most of 2018 and was capped with an award as Best T-34 at the EAA Oshkosh airshow in 2019.

Leaves and Shadow, 12" x 6" oil on panel
Tabby Ivy's journey to creative expression started gradually, and later in life. An avid black and white photographer, she completed the Rocky Mountain School of Photography's Summer Intensive Program in Missoula, after moving to Montana in 1991. The tonal aspects of black and white photography still influence her work, informing her tonalist-leaning style of painting. The need to expand her artistic vision led her first to watercolor and then to oils after studying the work of classical and contemporary artists. She has been painting in oils for over twenty-five years, with collectors across the US.
After thirty-three years in Montana she now calls Carlton, Oregon, home.
Creative Statement
My paintings often begin when a mood, scene or thought breaks through the everyday to spark an idea or call to creative action. I rely on intuitive spontaneity, curiosity and risk taking to guide me through the painting process. My work is not a literal depiction of a landscape, scene or subject. I purposely strive for my paintings to be evocative and engaging while leaving a bit of mystery and interpretation for the viewer. After thirty-three years in Montana, I now make Carlton, Oregon, home, but the vast Montana landscape will always hold a very special place in my heart and in my work.
"Leaves and Shadow" was painted en plein air in Glacier National Park. While driving near Two Medicine I was looking for a grand vista to paint. However, what I was drawn to was a quiet moment along the side of the road; of shaded trees, the smell of damp leaves and the textures within muted shadows. This painting was the result.
Porcupine Creek, 12" x 16" original oil on panel by Bye Bitney
ART TALK MAGAZINE, December 1989: Bye Bitney, one of the hottest young artists in the traditional world.Often called 'the young genius', Bye Bitney makes his home on the west shore of Flathead Lake in Kalispell, Montana where he completed his three story home/studio in 1993. After he made the decision to become a professional artist, it took very little time for his work to gain notice in the art world.
Bye began showing in major galleries at the age of 22. Art critics praised both his keen draftsman's eye and expert use of muted colors, and his career has been on the rise ever since. In a region where the majority of artwork depicts cowboys and ranch life, Bye's still lifes, landscapes and portraits are a bold departure. Although he resists categorization of any kind, Bye acknowledges that he is not a cowboy artist. "I'm a western artist because I live in the West. But definitions of western and cowboy art are subject to many different interpretations." Many subjects appear in Bye's paintings, including ocean and sky, people and animals, flowers and still life - all beginning with a visual treat, a moment experienced either in the studio, on a drive through the mountains or from his trip to Spain and Portugal.
Unless he's planning a very complex subject, Bye rarely blocks anything on canvas. To that end, he almost studiously avoids any hard preconceptions of how a painting will turn out. "I start off with a very general idea because it's much less stressful to keep the initial concepts vague and have it evolve from the process "Bye's painting schedule is not a conventional one. He can often be found fine tuning a painting a month after he started it. In the meantime, he sometimes has up to a dozen other paintings in the works.
Bye has been mostly influenced through his studies of the interpretive realism of Delbert Gish, John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla and Nicolai Fechin. Of Fechin's work Bye notes, "There are a lot of loose abstract passages in his paintings, but his craftsmanship is impeccable. I find this genre painting to be a challenge because inherent looseness gives an artist room to flow with whatever happens on the canvas."Bye's paintings continue to receive rave reviews, but modesty prevents him from dwelling too long on the subject. Gazing over a mug of tea cradled in his hands, Bye Bitney comes as close as he ever will to blowing his own horn."All of my works seem to sell equally well," he says quietly. "That's reassuring.".
