Josh Elliott: Western Landscape Painter - Epi. 126, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Josh Elliott on the podcast today and what a  fun and
interesting individual to interview. I’ve been fortunate enough
to join Josh on a couple of painting trips to observe his
painting acumen and you can learn so much as an art dealer when
you get to actually see what an artist does with their skill set
in the field. It helps one understand the process and there is
something to be said about comprehending the process. I'm an
artist in the sense that I'm a writer and photographer, but I’m
not a painter and there's a big difference watching someone like
Josh paint. Josh and I talk about his early days and his
evolution into the artist he has become, as well as his personal
philosophy on painting from telephone poles and windmills to the
rationale to omit them entirely. We go a little more in-depth
about the artwork than we usually do with painters in this
episode as I found his process so interesting. I’m just so
intrigued by Josh's work as not only a gallery owner that
represents him but as a collector of his work having upwards of
12 or so Josh Elliotts in my personal collection. I admire Josh,
not only as an artist - but also as a person and after watching
this podcast I think you'll understand why.
