MICHAEL ETIE (American, b. 1948) Storm Coming - Crawford Texas Ranch and Crawford Texas Ranch Pastel on panel 10 x 13 inches (25.4 x 33.0 cm) window Signed: Mike Etie Austin artist Mike Etie's primary medium is soft pastel on board with sanded surfaces. His use of dramatic, brilliant colors brings the landscape to emotional life. These two pairs of pastels are lovely examples of contemporary Texas scenes. Etie eschews the tendency of living Texas artists to create artworks which rely too heavily on traditional approaches to the Texas landscape in favor of a fresh and beautiful style.
