Property from the collection of the Artist

Austin artist Mike Etie is a master when using dramatic, brilliant colors to imbue the Texas landscape with an emotional life independent of its overwhelming beauty. Working in oil and pastels, he travels around the state to find inspiration for these stunning depictions. Etie is quickly becoming known for pictures that are both beautiful and expertly executed. Perhaps the most refreshing aspect of his work is that Etie eschews the tendency of living Texas artists to create artworks which rely too heavily on traditional approaches to the Texas landscape in favor of a fresh and beautiful style.
