Stephen Smalzel (American, active in 21st century), "Desert River Valley" and "Spring Creek", both oil on board, ca. 2000s. Each signed at lower right. A pair of beautiful landscape paintings by Contemporary artist Stephen Smalzel, both displaying fine brushwork, adept palette knife work, and attractive glazing. Smalzel lives and works in Colorado and enjoys plein air painting. According to his artist statement, "Ultimately I strive to elicit the strongest possible emotional reaction in my paintings. That may be through an exact rendering of a scene, or through subtle abstractions that enhance the salient elements of a visual impression." Interestingly, Smalzel studied Physics at Cornell University and worked for a time in superconductivity research. This scientific background sometimes informs his topographical approach. Both paintings are custom framed in museum quality materials. Size: 9.5" W x 6.5" H (24.1 cm x 16.5 cm); 12.375" W x 9.5" H (31.4 cm x 24.1 cm) with custom framing
