Product Description
RALPH OBERG "AFTER THE GOLD RUSH" 18"x22" Oil painting & Framed it is 28"x24"x2". Note this is most likely to be the Ghost town of Saint Elmo, Colorado.
"Originally called Forrest City in 1880, Saint Elmo was renamed and incorporated shortly after. Gold and silver drew miners in. In its heyday of around 2,000 residents in 1881, the town was full of saloons, dance halls and other staples of a mostly male population.
Raised in Colorado, Ralph Oberg always knew he would be an artist. The freedom to move about and enjoy the wonders of the world fit his temperament. After a brief stint in commercial illustration, Ralph began to support himself with his paintings. Wildlife dominated his interest for over 10 years.
Oberg changed the direction of his career in 1987. For the past decades, he has focused on painting the landscape on location as a means of learning the colors and values of the natural world and how to capture a sense of the moment and place. His painting travels have taken him repeatedly to Canada and Alaska, Nepal, Switzerland and the French Alps where he has painted the mountains that he loves.
Ralphs' work has been exhibited at the Prix de West Invitational at the National Cowboy Museum, The Masters at the Autry National Center, The Quest for the West at the Eiteljorg Museum, The Buffalo Bill Art Show at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, The Western Visions at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Night of Artists at the Briscoe Museum, the Brinton Museum, and the Steamboat Springs Art Museum
He has a large painting in the Colorado State Capital.
