Larry Greenwalt
Larry Greenwalt
Larry's life has been devoted to one end: art. Unlike most, Larry has known his destiny from the very beginning. There were a few who knew it as well. People like Larry's fourth grade teacher who saw enough in him to leave him alone to pursue his art. Larry is most noted for his rural America landscapes, but most recently has taken high acclaim for his Western and Southwestern works, both in oil and acrylic, depicting the present and the past... the people, cultures and the landscapes. Larry graduated in 1959 from Famous Artists Schools. He has done a portrait for Lynden B. Johnson, and has won awards and national recognition from the Saturday Evening Post, the National Western Art Show and Auction in Ellensburg, the Gene Autry Art Show and Auction in Palm Springs, and others, Contact Information: 816 Stagecoach Rd, SE Rio Rancho, NM 87124 (505) 892-5234   bk_friend.jpeg

Basil Gogos
Basil Gogos
Basil Gogos is an American, born in Egypt, of Greek origin. After college in Cairo, he studied art at The National School of Design, Washington D.C., Phoenix School of Design, New York City, The School of Visual Arts, New York City, and The Art Students' League, New York City. Since 1960, he has seen his illustrations on hundreds of magazine covers and as editorial material. He has illustrated the military, war, the Gothics, romance, science fiction and western adventure. In a lovely note to Sara Jane Karloff, Basil wrote: "In all my years as a professional painter, and they are many, I have excelled most in one area, that of the film monster genre. I have met some of the actors who portrayed film monsters, but much to my regret, I never met the supreme Karloff. A superb facial structure with nicely chiseled planes, deeply sunken eye sockets, high cheek bones, and with one side of his jaw bone deeper than the other - pure drama. I must have painted him a dozen times. I respected Karloff as an actor, and at the same time loved him, as by all accounts a good man, even though he stole Christmas. So long, dear friend, you are missed."   gogos_poster ggmum ggfrank2 ggfrank ggard
