"Morning Star", Acrylic on panel, 10.5" x 10.5" Framed Born 1944 in western Kentucky, Charles Frizzell has been creating artwork all his life. After graduating from Murray State University in 1967 with a B.S. in Fine Arts, Frizzell headed west, settling in Colorado in 1969. He now lives and works in a small central Colorado town noted for its artistic atmosphere and outdoor activities. His wife, Doris, is an avid hiker and Charles joins her in exploring the many trails through the surrounding mountains. They have out-the-door access to some of the most beautiful scenery in Colorado, as well as the Arkansas River and the Bighorn Sheep canyon. Frizzell's art is collected internationally, and the list of honors and awards he has received in regional and national exhibitions is extensive. His work is in the permanent collection of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, and in the Francis S. King Collection of Western Art at the Pueblo Fine Arts Center in Pueblo, Colorado. His landscape paintings have been included twice in the Top 100 of the prestigious annual Arts for the Parks exhibitions, winning a bronze award for his Anasazi Sunset from Hovenweep National Park, and later being selected as a poster artist in this national competition for his "Treasures of Chaco". And his painting "Shifting Shadows" of the Great Sand Dunes National Monument was included in the 2006 Arts for the Parks exhibition. |
