Most are 9.625" on the long side, depending on whether it is vertical or horizontal.After looking at one of Doug Oliver's landscapes, it should come as no surprise that this artist has studied both music and painting. Oliver's stark and romantic high desert landscapes are the works of a virtuoso. As Carol Lea Clark writes in the January, 1988 Southwest Art, Oliver paints "contrasts of power and fragility, of light and darkness which rings of a lilting flute or oboe... guiding a tune to it's climax in a crash of cymbals." Doug Oliver paints lyrical interpretations of western landscapes: rocky mountains, towering pinnacles, scrub-filled deserts, and grand expansive skies. It is with these skies that Oliver seems the most enchanted. Cloud-filled skies make up more that half of his canvasses. Their luminosity - with colors from "cool whites and blues to pinks and oranges so vivid they are unbelievable" - fascinates him. "Unlike most inanimate objects which reflect light, clouds can actually hold light" he marvels. Doug Oliver has been enthralled by the high desert since his teens when his family moved from the Midwest to a high desert town north of Los Angles. He studied advertising design at what is now the California Institute of Arts in Valencia. After graduating, he enjoyed working for 15 years as a public school teacher. "A person can learn a great deal about technique by talking about it and demonstrating it to others," says Oliver.
