“Winter Light in Santa Fe” 20" x 24" Oil
IRBY BROWN
Irby Brown (1928-2016) was a great painter, a generous teacher, and a devoted
family man. For thirty prolific years he displayed his landscape paintings at Wadle
Gallery. After Wadle closed, Ventana welcomed Brown with open arms. Snowy,
warm-toned Santa Fe street scenes—cold subjects with a warm heart—were a
favorite subject of the artist as well as his collectors. His first one-man show at
Ventana sold out quickly, and the gallery continues to offer the last works from his
studio as well as carefully curated originals from estates and collectors who are
downsizing. (Joined VFA in 2014 and estate represented since 2017.)
