Appalachian
Blackberry Patch by Walt Curlee
Energized by his welcoming perspec- tive and earthy, organic shapes, Walt Curlee’s fine art bursts from the canvas with richly detailed color, character and charm. Curlee began drawing at an early age—“I was obsessed with doodling,” he says—and has been a freelance illustrator for 25 years, work- ing with major corporate clients such as Kellogg’s, Procter & Gamble and Thermos/Warner Brothers. Today, he paints from his home stu- dio in southern Alabama, surrounded by an extended family that includes his wife, sons, several cats, royal palm tur- keys, a rooster and chickens, cockatiels and conures, a hedgehog and a gecko. Curlee’s newest oil series, on rural Americana, celebrates the country life and rural landscapes he reveres. “My art is my passion,” he says. “The chal- lenging aspect of painting is taking a familiar scene and creating my own personal vision of it. When I start a painting, I am in my own little world and tend to get lost in it. I have a sense of awe in everything around me, find- ing it absolutely enchanting, and I strive to show that in my work.”
