Josh Clare

Artist Spotlight   ~JOSH CLARE~

"Blue" by Josh Clare 9" x 12" oil $10500  Born in 1982 and raised in the Rocky Mountains of Utah, Josh Clare has been interested in art ever since he can remember; but it was when his fifth-grade teacher sincerely complimented him on an art project that he became an artist. He says concerning that defining moment, "a large part of being good at something is believing you're good at it-and I've believed in myself ever since." Josh graduated in 2007 from BYU-Idaho with a BFA in Illustration and immediately began to sell his work in galleries.    "October Rain" by Josh Clare 24"x24", oil on board $3,600  "Winter Solace" by Josh Clare 47"x47" $11,000  "Distant Hills" by Josh Clare 10"x13" $1150    For more of Josh Clare's work please visit Josh Clare  "Wowona" by Josh Clare, Oil on board, 12 x 16 inches, $1,500.00    "There is no artist greater than God, and no beauty more perfect than His creations-His art; to see any, even the least of them, is to see God himself, "moving in His majesty and power." There have been times in my life when I have done more than merely look-times when I've seen. Those moments are sacred and precious to me, and I desire to share them. I want to see more clearly, I want to comprehend more fully-and I want to help others do the same. That's why I paint." ~Josh Clare     "Green" by Josh Clare, Oil on board, 9"x12" $1,0505  "Four o'clock" by Josh Clare 11"x14" Oil on board $1,300   "Winter Glow Study" by Josh Clare, Oil on board, 11 x 14 inches For any additional information on Josh or his work, please do not hesitate to contact us.  Please take care and we look forward to your next visit to beautiful downtown Bozeman!

"With a bucking horse, it's not just a bucking horse, it's the struggle of the horse trying to get rid of the man and the man trying to hang on to to the horse; there's a grace in that relationship..."
