Desert sunset landscape by Willard J. Page
Tucson, Arizona sunset landscape painting, oil on board, by Willard Page (lifespan 1885-1958). Signed in lower left corner. Painting of sunset of Tucson mountains, saguaro cactus, mesquite trees and Arizona brush. Painting has some scuffs. Original frame in good condition with some scuffs.
Willard Page was born in Whiting, Kansas, and he traveled in a performing art troupe, where he was billed as a "lightning artist," one who could draw as fast as he could talk. Along with his wife Ethel, who played the piano, the two traveled throughout the West and eventually settled in Colorado. He was known for his landscapes of great clarity and skill.. He is a very collectable artist here out west.
