Blue Rain Gallery shows new Deladier Almeida landscapes
Cool Snap, a new work by landscape painter Deladier Almeida, is now being offered at Blue Rain Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The 12-inch-square work shows patches of snow covering the desert as rock formations fill part of the background. Almeida’s work often focuses on improvised brushwork. “The way my painting comes out is a function of the way I attack it,” he says. “I have to work on the edge of my rational mind.”

Brunk Auctions offers 19th-century Yosemite painting
It’s certainly not a new piece, but it is fresh to the market: Enoch Wood Perry’s 1865 painting On Horseback, Cathedral Rocks, Yosemite. The 29-inch-tall oil has gorgeous light and color, not to mention the towering rock face that creates the immense scale of the work, which is estimated at $40,000 to $60,000. Perry was from Boston but traveled West to California in the early 1860s, when he painted with Albert Bierstadt in Yosemite Valley. The Perry piece will be offered at Brunk Auctions’ upcoming sale, An American Panorama: North, South, East and West on May 9 in Asheville, North Caroline. The sale will also be held online.
