This is an original oil

　　painting on canvasboard by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver,

　　CO).   The painting itself is 11” high by

　　14” wide. It is framed in an ornate gilded wood frame to a framed size of 16.5”

　　high by 19.5” wide. The subject is a landscape of snow-capped mountains, a clear

　　blue mountain lake, and a downy field of wild grasses and flowers. The palette

　　is predominated by greens, golds and blues. The work is titled “High Country

　　Lake” and is a scene in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. It is in pristine

　　condition and signed front lower right by the artist.

　　This work is from the artist's

　　personal collection. As he is now in his mid-70's, he is in the process of

　　downsizing and is letting go of some of his favorite works, this being one of

　　them.

　　De La

　　Cruz has been a full-time professional fine artist since 1975. He was the

　　subject of a museum-wide retrospective at Denver's Museo de las Americas in

　　2. He is listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists

　　of the twentieth century in a Denver Post survey of regional curators and

　　proved the bestselling artist at the first International Latino Art Auction in

　　Phoenix, AZ. The Denver Art Museum's first purchase of a living Hispanic's work

　　for its permanent collection was a De La Cruz. Years later, he was the only

　　artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a major,

　　contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind

　　Building. De La Cruz was the recipient of back-to-back artist-in-residency

　　grants from Colorado in his early career and received as well their very last

　　painting fellowship. Other honors include award of Best Art Event of the Year

　　by Westword Magazine and appointment to Denver’s Commission on Arts and Culture.
