Joe G. Russell (Texas, 1926-2008), bluebonnet landscape, oil on canvas

sight: 18 x 24 in., frame: 23 x 29 in.

Provenance: Property from a home in Houston, Texas

Joe G. Russell was born in Austin, Texas, August 23, 1926 to Gladys Greer Russell and Joe A. Russell. In 1966 Joe moved his family to Kerrville where he began painting in oils full time. His quiet studio was at the end of a typical ranch road south of town. Joe G. Russell was a quiet unassuming gentleman who preferred to let his art do his talking for him. Joe continued his studies at the Banff School of Fine Art and Cloudcroft, New Mexico. He concentrated on portraiture for several years at the Marion Koogler McNay Museum in San Antonio, Texas. He would have told you that experience was his best teacher creating a style and technique all his own. Joe also painted with G. Harvey.
