Although a multi-media artist, Eleanor prefers
working with the deep, vibrant color of oil paint. Being
a native West Texan, she studies the natural beauty of
the area, bringing it out vividly on canvas. Blending a
mixture of earth and sky into a harmonious setting, the
finished product is both pleasing to the eye, and
relaxing to the mind.
Intricate detail gives her paintings a bold, beautiful
setting full of contrasts, while impressionistic
backgrounds allow patrons to stroll down memory lane to
other times and fonder places.
While studying under Ben Konis, William Earl, Ann
Templeton, Howard Carr, Warren Taylor, and others, she
developed a style all her own, a combination of the old
masters and the new Southwest artists.
Eleanor maintains studios in Midland, Texas and Ruidoso,
New Mexico. Her paintings are exhibited throughout Texas
and New Mexico.
