Artist Greg Benson ~ American Iron

The whistle from the diesel locomotive echoes through the valley while people gather at a beautiful riverside cabin. "American Iron" is a painting about the freedoms we enjoy in America, (Statue of Liberty hidden in the tree above the gazebo).

Freedoms hard won by previous Americans, (hidden image above the cabin of Marines raising the American flag on Iwo Jima). Talk around the grill includes stories of an annual pilgrimage to the Black Hills of South Dakota, (Mount Rushmore hidden in the sky).

The painting "American Iron" is not so much about the machines we build but the success previous Americans had giving us the freedoms we enjoy today, including the freedom to ride!

All of Greg Benson’s limited edition prints are produced using only the finest museum quality acid free paper with colorfast inks. Each aspect of producing every limited edition print is closely supervised by Greg Benson to insure it’s quality and integrity to the original oil painting.

Benson’s canvas editions are produced using the same exacting standards and using the highest quality wrap-around artist grade canvas.

This is going to be a series of posts exploring the Harley Davidson Motorcycle art of artist Greg Benson....... starting with a short bio.........

Greg Benson took a winding road on his way to becoming a professional artist. Being self taught Benson considers himself fortunate to have achieved such a large international following. "I paint my memories and interests and collectors seem to connect with them," says Benson.

Greg Benson’s natural talent was evident at an early age but he had a variety of jobs before he decided to concentrate solely on oil painting. He decided to supplement his income by teaching painting in different school districts near his home and set up adult continuing education classes. After doing well in a national art show, a publishing company offered to publish prints of one of Greg Benson’s originals.

Greg Benson then started his own publishing company and has continued to publish limited edition prints since 1992. He makes appearances and exhibits his original oil paintings at select fine art galleries and national art shows including shows in New York, Chicago and Atlanta.

And now that you've read a bit about Greg, here's our first piece of art featured in this series ~ American Legends.

This is part of the"Wheels of Freedom" series. The many legends portrayed in this magnificent painting are not only America's first sports car or examples from our oldest surviving motorcycle company, but also, if you look closely you'll see other historic legends including the Native American Crazy Horse, a Viking ship, and one of our country's true heroes, the fireman.

All of Greg Benson’s limited edition prints are produced using only the finest museum quality acid free paper with colorfast inks.

Each aspect of producing every limited edition print is closely supervised by Greg Benson to insure it’s quality and integrity to the original oil painting.

Greg Benson’s canvas editions are produced using the same exacting standards and using the highest quality wrap-around artist grade canvas.

This particular piece of Greg Benson's artwork can be found at Direct Artwork right here!

We hope you've enjoyed this first in a four part series on artist Greg Benson.

Wildlife artwork is very popular as a home and office decor feature these days. Not just for wildlife enthusiasts, it also gives us a way to bring wildlife into our everyday environment. Many people find wildlife artwork to be relaxing, refreshing and sometimes it relieves the stress of the day at the office or home ~ kind of takes us "away".

Wildlife artwork also contributes greatly to any rustic, country, or relaxed interior decorating scheme, and makes a wonderfully eye catching contribution on any stair landing or hallway ~ as in the great castles of old in Scotland where the Stag of Stags is on that stair landing on featured on the downstairs spiral towards the Great Room or Receiving Room.

What more majesty can be found in having a beautiful wildlife portrait or artwork depicting a member of those who are wild and free?

Direct Artwork has a number of wildlife categories in our online gallery.

• Bears
• Birds
• Deer
• Eagles
• Moose
• Pheasants
• Turkey
• Wolves

Here are a few example prints of each category:

Bears ~ Family Gathering by Andrew Kiss

Birds ~ Unannounced Visitors by Cynthie Fisher

Deer ~ Double Vision by Jim Hansel

Eagles ~ Land of the Free by Alan Hunt

We'll post the rest of the wildlife art print examples in our next post. Stay tuned.........

It's a little early in the season for blue birds to be dropping in and charming us with their songs and sweet ways. Spring has just sprung, and it's quite unseasonably cold in our area yet. I think I've seen one or two robins and I know our resident comical mockingbird has returned ~ comical because this talented bird can sing up to 200 different bird calls and assorted tunes ~ and ours has chosen to be a seagull this spring. That's right, you heard me. A mockingbird who longs to be a seagull so much she/he has got the seagull's call down perfect. That tune will change once this smart bird finds someone else to mimic. Sometimes our mockingbird goes off on the most fantastic aria of combined songs / tunes /and musical notes. And, then again......... sometimes not. Sometimes we are a seagull.

If you are longing for weather just a bit warmer, and with more bird life to it, more color, and more charm, you can either wait until Mother Nature / Global Warming / El Nino~El Nina decides to favor you with such, or, you can have it all year around. How so?

With this LOVELY blue bird print called Eastern Beauties by artist Cynthie Fisher. The detail and colors are simply outstanding and vibrant, totally lifelike, as though the birds might just hop off that fence and post and fly into your own home.

Cynthie Fisher of Hamilton, Montana, works mostly in acrylic and scratchboard, making good use of her degree in zoology by concentrating on animal behaviors and interactions. A self-taught artist, Cynthie has painted professionally for 14 years, accumulating many awards along the way to national recognition. As you can see from the above, this is no wonder from such a talented artist.

Direct Artwork has several more gorgeous Cynthie Fisher art prints to offer you, all framed in handmade oak frames, so very beautiful and what a compliment to the artists prints. In fact Direct Artwork has an entire gallery devoted to many many talented artists whose fine art prints are framed in their hand crafted oak frames!

The above print, Eastern Beauties by Cynthie Fisher, can be found here.

Don't forget, Direct Artwork offers free shipping in the contiguous 48 lower states as well as discounted shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and Canada.

The Perfect Print To Celebrate Spring ~

although spring has come and is still undecided ~ some people's daffodils and other spring bulbs have come up, and some folks are still seeing the dreaded *snow* thing ~ one thing is for sure, and that is that spring is here and won't be going away! FINALLY............

Spring usually means spring cleaning, spring sprucing, spring decorating. One fine way to decorate is by hanging one of artist Linda Spivey's beautiful down home spring prints in your hallway or doorway, perhaps over that prim style antique table you bought at that estate sale or flea market last year. A nice lamp with a tin punched shade would do real nicely on that table, and would set off just the right amount of light on this beautiful print hanging right above.......

Nothing like a using an old coffee pot and artistically sticking a beautiful bunch of cut blooms in it for a table centerpiece............ hmmmm......... that gives me a few decorating ideas.

I can see the little Mountain Blue Bird is also eyeing up the arrangement, perhaps considering some sprucing up and decorating of his family's nest as well.

In any case, Linda Spivey's art prints are just the perfect compliment to spring decorating for any of us.......... consider hanging a print or two in your entrance way, hallway or any wall space that seems a little drab and bare. You'll instantly brighten up the spot as well as put a smile on the face of all who walk by.

Who can resist?

You won't be sorry, in fact you'll be quite enchanted at all the decorating possibilities in store for you, whether you choose from our Prim Folk County art print collections or our Oak Framed Matted art print collections.
