Had a wonderful podcast today with Curt Walters. He's always been one of my favorite painters. He is known as a Grand Canyon painter, but he paints all sorts of things of all shapes and sizes, painting a giant canyon one day, and water lilies the next. It was fun to be able to listen to his journey as it was not an easy one. Curt grew up in Farmington, New Mexico and he was dyslexic. As a kid, he was having issues dealing with a learning disability that most people just didn't understand at that point in time. People would just assume that he didn't have the capacity for schooling. Fast forward 60 years and Curt has won more than a dozen awards from all over the West. Almost all of his paintings sell as soon as he finishes them. He is iconic in what he does and who he is. It was a very fun and interesting time. Curt Walters on episode 254 of Art Dealer Diaries Podcast.
