About the work

An exceptionally colorful work by James Albert Lawrence (1910 - 2006) depicting Pinon pines in a northern Nevada landscape. The work is housed in a contemporary frame under museum glass.

Jim Lawrence was born in San Mateo, California. His studies and professional pursuits took him to Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco before he eventually settled in Nevada in 1949. By the time he reached Nevada, he had already visited the area around Gardnerville to paint and photograph the region’s scenery. It is therefore no surprise that this was to be the chosen location of his home/studio at Rock Creek Ranch, which is stamped on the reverse of the Pinon Pines watercolor. 

This delightfully executed watercolor amply demonstrates the hallmark qualities attributed to Lawrence’s work: Swift brush motion, brevity over detail; a work that is more gestural than literal. Simply a beautiful painting by a Nevada master.
