Roger Ore |
 Roger
Ore, a native of Utah, is a
painter of western
panoramas. His oil paintings
depict the breathtaking
beauty of the Colorado and
Wyoming mountain ranges. In
his art, Roger lavishes
attention on distant sky
dramas while painting the
foreground in even greater
detail. Wildlife, mountain
men, and Native Americans
are often included as
subjects when Roger goes
beyond the already
impressive landscapes.Born and raised in the West, Roger took a liking to painting at a young age and learned early in life of the natural beauty and intrinsic value of the mountains and surrounding landscapes. During his school years, Roger was an avid painter and sculptor, winning awards and scholarships to several colleges and universities. Influenced by the art of Wilson Hurley, Tucker Smith, and Frank McCarthy, Rogers love of art and intense desire to paint never waned. He has studied with several artists including Veloy Eaton and Stuart Heimdal, working to improve the lines in his paintings by giving them a softer touch. Roger attributes his success to his ability to paint with realism and absolute veracity. "Ive taken a real interest in trying to capture the moods of the weather and the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains, especially the Tetons," says the artist. His very tight and intensive style of brushwork imposes a severe limitation on his work output; as a result, he is capable of completing only a very select number of paintings over an extended time. This exclusivity of production always leaves his patrons waiting for more. Roger can often be found finding inspiration in the Tetons of Wyoming, the Wasatch and Uintah mountains of Utah, or the Elk Mountains of Colorado. There, he studies the landscapes and cloud formations as well as the native wildlife and vegetation. Occasionally Roger recreates one of the many real-life situations he has encountered and photographed at Indian pow-wows, mountain men rendezvous, and black powder shoots. Roger also utilizes a large collection of accumulated historical information about the subjects of his paintings. |
