this painting and the following pieces of iron sculpture are by louie lytle and were shown last weekend here in gold beach. louie passed away a few years ago and i never got to meet him but am grateful for the chance to see alot of his work. i purchased this painting and LOVE it!! there were tons of paintings and virtually TONS of iron work shown and i doubt if you could have seen a more sophisticated show anywhere. this man was a pure talent and it was wonderful to walk through the sculpture garden and house and marvel at his sly sense of humor and his deft touch with a torch. his work is in several museums and private collections around the world.
