review:
'Painted Sky: 106 Artists of the Rocky Mountain West' by E. Ashley Rooney is a survey of 106 contemporary artists mostly residing in Colorado and the surrounding states.

In a foreword by Rose Frederick, the term Western Art is talked about in terms of how it can sometimes dismiss certain art. The artists and works that follow prove there is valid art happening that can have wildlife and Western life as it's subject. The 106 artists work in a variety of mediums. Mostly paint, but sculpture and fabric, and a variety of brush techniques.

I liked the variety of art on display here. The artists comments range from light to more profound. There isn't enough content to learn much about the artists or their work, but it's a nice overview.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Schiffer Publishing Ltd. and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
