Brave Spirit by Lee Bogle ~ Collectors know Lee Bogle for his images of Native Americans, often solitary figures of men and women whose beauty far surpasses the superficial. While his paintings artistically speak for themselves, they also reflect his appreciation for the natural world. Working with muted, atmospheric colors, he is a master at depicting the expressive quality of light. "The paintings are an outgrowth of my appreciation for the bold, painterly brush stroke and my love of precise detail," he comments. "They are contemporary impressions in which detail is used in a very conscious and restrained manner to enhance the overall mood."
