"Setting Crescent Moon over the Front Range", Oil on Panel, 10 X 14 Inches The ultimate challenge of the impressionist artist... creating what would otherwise be a simple static sky into a dynamic expression of color interactions. Such is this work. There are a myriad of colors standing to be mixed with the eyes of the viewer. Take a look at the detail image and see how this was done. |

"Lightning Storm over the Western Plains", Oil on Canvaspanel, 10 X 14 Inches A difficult task it is to capture the drama of an approaching storm... especially the effects of lightning. In this fine painting, the artist has captured moment of the flash, anticipating the roll of thunder. A fine and dramatic work. |
Sold |
 |
"Moon & Wind Torn Clouds", Oil on Panel, 6 X 8 Inches Luminous. On a moonlit night with a shredding wind, the clouds move quickly, presenting a challenge to any artist. E. E. Glass was a master at depicting the movement, as well as the light effects of the night. A complete painting despite its small size. |
Sold |
 |
"Impression, Wyoming Sunrise", Oil on Panel, 18 X 24 Inches Perhaps the most significant painting we have seen to date by the artist. This work is large and filled with color. Please view the detail images to get an idea of just how much color is in this work. A stunning accomplishment of true impressionism. |

Study for "Impression, Wyoming Sunrise", Oil on Panel, 9 X 12 Inches the finished study for the painting above. With the impressionists, the task was to define a scene with color. Emerson Glass was a superb draftman, able to catch every detail of whatever he was engaged in and took on the challenge of redefining the character of the scene with color. |

"Moon over the High Plains, Wyoming", Oil on Panel, 9 X 12 Inches The "high plains" are the rolling flatlands that rest
around 7,000 - 9,000 feet above sea level. The air is rarified and the
moon casts a brilliant light on the landscape, so that even after the
sun sets, the moon makes the night almost like day. |

"Moon over Mt. Moran, Tetons, Wyoming #1", Oil on Panel, 6 X 8 Inches The first of a pair of painting (see #2 below).
This painting
is the more subtle of the two. The clouds swirl around the light of the
full moon, fully reflected in the water. The colors range
from
deep blue-violet to red and yellow-green. The mood of
quietness
in this painting speaks of the nights in Wyoming. |
Sold |
 |
"Moon over Mt. Moran, Tetons, Wyoming #2", Oil on Panel, 6 X 8 Inches The second of a pair of painting (see #1 above). This painting is the more stark and dramatic of the two. These surely were painted on the same night, but this one with a slight hint of weather moving in. The intensity of the light and dark are increased for greater drama. |

 |
"Impression: Blazing Sunset", Oil on Panel, 8 X 10 Inches What can one say, except "explosion of color"?
In this fine
small painting, there is the utmost in experimentation of color and
color harmonies and contrasts. The greens vibrate with the
reds,
the violets and yellows vibrate with the deeper blues. A
magnificent example of the impressionist philosophy. |
Sold |
 |
"Sunset on an Ancient Tree", Oil on Panel, 9 X 12 Inches The light from the setting sun filters in over the rocks
and falls
at last on this fine old tree. Dispite the scars of time and
elements, the tree stands, the light only emphasizing its strength.
This is a later one for the artist, and
perhaps a
statement of how his years have stood the test of time? |
Sold |
 |
"Storm near Estes Park, Colorado", Oil on Panel, 9 X 12 Inches For anyone who has spent time in the mountains, there is
an
awareness that storms can come at any time. This painting
depicts
this drama of clouds rolling in
quickly and spots of light showing through. The light hits
the
foreground ridge of rocks and trees, framed with the movement of
clouds. A slim peek of distant mountains with a sliver of
blue
sky gives the painting great depth and perspective. |
Sold |
 |
"Roots", Oil on Panel, 14 X 20 Inches Despite the realistic subject and manner of painting,
this
ultimately is an abstract work, weaving the complex root
patterns
into a burst of color like flames or flower. The tree is
obviously fallen for many years, the roots thrust up in a sculptural
form, enhanced by their intricate texture, holes and striking
animation. A large work, obviously of importance to the
artist,
speaking of perhaps his own life intricacies. |

"Moon over Long's Peak, Estes Park, Colorado", Oil on Panel, 10 X 14 Inches This is a painting of peace and quiet. Long's
Peak and Mt.
Meeker rest under a full moon, while the glow of the sun turns
the
distant peaks a soft red. The same glow touches
the rocks, but it's the soft yellow light of the moon that sets the
tone. Much of the scene is in shadow, drawing our attention
to
the moon and colorful sky. |

"Big Tree at Sunset" (Study), Oil on panel, 8 X 10 Inches We are sometimes asked, "how do you determine a study or
finished
painting?". Good question. Some are obvious, in
that there
appears a larger version of the same composition. Other
times,
it's more of a comparison with similar works, so it's different with
every artist. This study is actually fully developed and
stands
on its own. |

"Wind Blown Pine at Sleeping Dog Rock", Oil on panel, 8 X 8 Inches This marvelous small painting is a vignette, not a
study. The
painting concentrates on the small bannered pine seen in the lower
right of the painting below ("Sleeping Dog Rock"). It is a
complete statement fully developed. The color reflects the
painting below, but the composition nicely develops the character of
the lone pine, growing among the rocks and surviving the challenge of
the elements. |

"Sleeping Dog Rock" (Clouds at the Timberline), Oil on panel, 10 X 14 Inches This painting takes us where few people go... a place
where one can
see for a hundred miles and leave the crowded cities behind, and feel
the vast space of the world in which we live. The image may
be
stark and real, but the painting leads us into a flow of dreamy
imagination of another life, another place. |

"Aspens among Red Rocks", Oil on panel, 12 X 16 Inches A wonderful statement in the primary colors... red, blue
and yellow.
The center of the painting is a virtual feast of colors, each
superimposed on the other to create a fine vibrating interaction.
Added to these are the scattered secondary colors of green
and
muted purples. A quality exercise in color. |

"Bannered Tree" (Windy Ridge, Setting Crescent Moon), Oil on panel, 9 X 12 Inches This was the place preferred by Emerson Glass.
Here he sought
the trees that showed the character of west, surviving even in the
harshest of circumstances. Literally, the storms of life hit these
trees, where the winds blow up to hurricane force, lightning strikes
and the snows run deep. |
Sold |
 |
"Cycles of Life - Trees in the Rocky Mountains", Oil on panel, 12 X 16 Inches In the Rocky Mountains, there are many scenes of the
cycles of
life... here a fallen old tree, surrounded by new growth coming up to
take its place. The trees and sky in the background attest to
the
movement of wind and elements, constantly reshaping the evironment. |
Sold |
 |
"Sunrise on Barren Ridge" (Study), Oil on panel, 6 X 9 Inches With an interesting foreground, an artist can make even
the simplest
scene come alive. The trees, rocks and wild flowers in the
center
create a focal point that belies the complexity of this fine small
painting. |

"Quarter Moon: Dusk at Leaning Rock", Oil on panel, 10 X 14 Inches There is a certain light that seems to glow but not
overwhelm just
at dusk. At the far right of the painting, below the pale
yellow
moon, is the muted lavendar of the distant settling evening.
The
tops of the trees and large rocks barely catch the last light.
Fine muted color to catch the most fleeting of moments of a
day. |

"Sunrise on a Lightning Blasted Tree", Oil on panel, 12 X 16 Inches The color of sunrise... the yellows and reds... make the
mood of
even a scarred tree seem tranquil. One would normally think
of
these colors as aggitation and heat. But here, they create an
overall peace and unity to the painting. The cooler reds in
the
rocks and complementary greens keep the scene alive. |
Sold |
 |
"Moon over Pikes Peak", Oil on panel, 12 X 16 Inches Even in the night paintings, the artist finds much color. You will do well to view the Detail Image of the moon and sky... a veritable feast of color, as well as a fine study in the juxtaposition of complementory colors and the their effects and interactions. |
Sold |
 |
"Moon over Pikes Peak" (Study), Oil on panel, 6 X 8 Inches The conceptual study for the painting above. This work stands on its own as a fine experiment in color relationships. The larger version adheres closely to the study, but with a much expanded range of colors in all areas. |
Sold |
 |
"Fallen Pine, Rocky Mountains", Oil on panel, 11 X 14 Inches The fallen trees were a recurring theme for the artist. Perhaps there was some identifying with them... but more likely, it was the contrast in textures and colors that drew him to the subject. Probably both. |
$350 Free Shipping |
 |
"Study in Green and Red" (Fallen Pine), Oil on panel, 8 X 10 Inches It's often about the color... here the sky is painted a fine green to teal color, with soft cool reds to compliment them. There are scattered small areas of blues and yellows throughout to create balance to a nice color experiment. |
$250 |
 |
"Sunrise in the Rockies", Oil on panel, 8 X 10 Inches A literal explosion of color. The images here do not do the painting justice at all. The reds are a pleasant and intense warm red, surrounded by yellows and greens to make the entire sky vibrate. The dark trees and foreground rocks amplify the color of the sky. |
Sold |
 |
"Moonlight on a Lightning Blasted Tree", Oil on panel, 7 X 9 Inches The beauty and the danger go hand in hand in the high elevations of the Rockies. The trees are exposed to wind and harsh conditions, but it's the lightning that often takes its toll. This tree was ripped apart by lightning, but yet survives, even in the harsh environment. |
Sold |
 |
"Windy Pinnacle", Oil on panel, 12 X 16 Inches If you have ever climbed to such a small knoll as this, you can understant the dynamics of nature in a profound way. The wind rules everything, steadily gnawing away at the rocks, bending and twisting the trees and shredding the clouds. Here, only the most tenacious life survives, setting a standard by with all other life can be measured. These paintings represent the life of the artist like no other can. |
Sold |
 |
"Windy Pinnacle" (Study), Oil on panel, 7 X 9 Inches The ultimate expression of the impressionist manifesto, if you can call it that. The mixing of color one into the other; the movement of the clouds, quickly applied; the effects of lighting to dramtize the subject. A marvelous painting. |
Sold |
 |
"Setting Quarter Moon over the Tetons", Oil on panel, 12 X 16 Inches The reflection of the bright moon is everywhere... in the clouds, the water and, if you look closely, even in the outline of the mountains. The abundant reds nicely counterbalance the overall blue/green of the sky. |
Sold |
 |
"Setting Quarter Moon over the Tetons" (Study ), Oil on panel, 6 X 8 Inches In this study for the larger and more compete painting above is fresh and freely painted. The violet pinks of the clouds create a dynamic for the blue/greens of the rest of the painting. |

"Bright Moon on a Rocky Ridge", Oil on panel, 10 X 14 Inches The rising moon is brilliant in the eastern sky, while the rest of the scene is in shadow. The focal point of the moon is brilliant with yellows and reds. Not exaggerated, for anyone who has been in the dark hills on such a night. |
Sold |
 |
"Sunlit Tree at 9,000 Feet", Oil on panel, 8 X 10 Inches Red, yellow, blue and green... the bright color for which the artist is known for. The old and bent tree remains strong in the face of altitude, weather and wind. Such trees begin amidst the rocks where, protected from the weather, they can root and be established. |

"Last Light, Rising Moon", Oil on panel, 22 X 30 Inches The largest and most major work we have seen by the artist. Suiting for it to be a moonrise painting. In the High Sierras of California, the last light of the setting sun, is backlit from the moon. A technical challenge for any artist. |
Sold |
 |
"Cornstalks, Quarter Moon", Oil on old wood panel, 6 X 8 Inches This is a very early work, judging from the old panel on which it was executed. We estimate this painting to be from the mid 1950's. The panel is fragile, but the hand of the artist is unmistakingly there. |

"Wind River Range, Wyoming", Oil on panel, 14 X 18 Inches There are few places on earth more rugged and beautiful than the Wind River area in northwestern Wyoming. The last red glow of the settin sun colors the tops of the mountains, and the deep greens of the lower vegetation adds a nice complement. |
Sold |
 |
"Moonrise" (Study), Oil on gessoed board mounted fiber board panel, 6 X 8 Inches An amazing small study painted on a black underpainting. The contrasts set off the rising moon and make a most believable interpretation of the light effects. The reds in the clouds add a vibrant color touch. |
Sold |
 |
"A Grizzly in the Rockies", Oil on panel, 10 X 14 Inches The wildlife paintings of Emerson Glass are just as much color expressions as they are depictions of animals. Here, the reds of the grizzly both blend and complement the blues, greens and yellows of the surrounding landscape. The purples of the distant mountains are immediately juxtaposed with the same reds for a startling contrast. |
Sold |
 |
"Rocky Top", Oil on panel, 8 X 11 Inches The windy ridge is a favorite theme of the artist. The color possibilites are endless, contrasting the blues of the sky with the warm tones of the subject foreground. This is an exciting work, both for the color as well as the motion of the clouds and trees. |
Sold |

"Early Spring", Oil on Canvasboard, 12 X 16 Inches This is an early work of the artist, done possibly in California. The greens of the lower slopes contrast nicely with the reds and purples of the higher mountains. |

"Original Studies", Pencil on paper, 9

Sold |
 |
"The Rawah Mountains of Colorado", Oil on panel, 6 X 8 Inches The afternoon sun on the rocks serves as a stark contrast to the distant plains and mountains.

"Old Willow with Antelope", Oil on panel, 9 X 13 1/2 Inches When the sun sets, the light often filters through different aspects of a scene.

"Moose at Sunrise" (Yellowstone), Oil on panel, 10 X 14 Inches The final version of the study (below). Visitors to today's Yellowstone National Park are often rewarded for rising early, finding a fine bull moose leisurely strolling in a nearby meadow or munching breakfast in a shallow pond.

Study for "Moose at Sunrise"

Study for "Lavender Sky, Twilight
with Setting Moon", Oil on Panel, 8 X 8
Inches At last light, interesting things happen to color in a landscape. The fading red glow of the setting sun combines with the darkness of the end of day. This brings an invasion of color into the deepening shadows and causes the various elements in the scene to glow with the same color. In this fine study, the work is actually a complete painting, with all details and effects in place, just as the larger version. |
Sold |
 |
"Lavender Sky, Twilight, with Setting Moon",
Oil on Panel, 16 X 16 Inches The large and final version of the study (below). The feel of this painting is remarkably similar to the study, the drawing, color and composition all bearing the same hand. Read the notes for the study, they all applying to this fine and major work by E E Glass. |

"Moose in the Timberline (Rocky Mountains)",
Oil on Panel, 12 X 16 Inches The freedom and energy found in the laying of paint in this fine work reflect that of the subject. The Rocky Mountains, from Colorado to Montana, have an edge to their atmosphere. The rare air and hardness of the land make for a toughness, both in animals and men. The moose typifies the character of the land and his presence is like a signal for requirement to survive. |
Sold |
 |
"Approaching Storm, Timberline", Oil
on Panel, 7 X 7 Inches Some lessons and characteristics come from the masters. Here, the influance of van Gogh is quite evident... the swirling clouds of color fit together well to make the statement of an approaching storm. The feel of the vulnerability of life at the timberline is felt through the energy of applied pigments. |
Sold |
 |
"Fallen Tree, Colorado" (Ponderosa Pine at
Timberline), Oil on Panel, 9 X 12 Inches The fallen tree becomes a vehicle for carrying color for the artist. This simple subject becomes complex with the multitude of reds, yellow, green and blues... all mixed by the eyes to blend into a wonder feast. Please give attention to the colors in the sky detail, for an experience in color unlike any we have ever seen. |
Sold |
 |
"Rising Moon at the Timberline", Oil
on Panel, 13 X 18 Inches A major work by E. E. Glass. Please view the detail images of this work, where impressionist techniques are fully explored. The colors are not blended together, but rather are mixed in pools of pigment, producing dynamic color interactions. These dynamics produce an animated color motion... an interplay of color and shapes that have the feel of live movement... the ultimate expression of impressionism in American art. |
Sold |
 |
"Sunrise on an Outcropping", Oil
on Panel, 6 X 8 Inches This fine small painting exemplifies the artist's passion for color. A simple subject profoundly executed... the three primary colors (red, blue and yellow) balanced with the three secondary colors (green, orange and purple). A skilled and effective blast of color in a small space. |
Sold |
 |
"Timberline", Oil on Panel, 9
X 12 Inches You feel like you are there. At the timberline, the trees struggle in the harsh environment, but some survive setting roots deep into the rocks for a strong grip and water. Rocks take on the character of the time and season. The influance of Glass's friend, Birger Sandzen, is felt strongly in this painting. |
Sold |
 |
"Stone Wall, San Antonio", Oil on Canvas Mounted
on Panel, 8 X 10 Inches Atmosphere and distance are beautifully rendered in this painting filled with arial perspective. A variety of blues, greens and violets hold the distant elements of the town and distant mountains in place, while the strong warm colors of the red wall, large tree and other foreground elements create a strong dynamic. |

 |
"Approaching Storm" (Thompson River, Colorado), Oil on
Panel, 10 X 14 Inches All the dynamics of nature are in play in this fine work... the approaching rain storm, the rushing mountain stream and the setting sun playing light in a dramatic scene. A close look at the details of the paint reveals an urgent application, suggesting the need to get under cover very soon. Long's Peak in the background. |

"Sunset at the Rocks of Vedauwoo" (Wyoming), Oil on

Sold |
 |
"Hazy Sunset, Colorado", Oil on panel, 10 X 10 Inches A truely marvelous example of the American impressionist style (and reflecting great influance of Glass's friend, Birger Sandzen). The colors are freely and boldly applied with contrasts and harmonies perfectly matched throughout this fine and complete work. |
Sold |
 |
"Windswept Pines", Oil on panel, 12 X 16 Inches A similar work to "Hazy Day, Colorado"... this larger painting was executed under midday light with the very feel of the wind in the clouds... the conditions in which the pine is caused to bend and twist in directions contrary to it direction of preferred growth. |

"Our Last Night in Lindsborg", Oil on panel, 9 X 12
Inches If you read the biography of E. E. Glass, you will glimpse the affection he had for Birger Sandzen. As a bit of testimony to that feeling, this painting was titled by Nina Glass in conversations and discussions of this work. Her obvious respect for the older Sandzen was often referred to discussions with Mr. Tate. |
Sold |

"Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado", Oil on panel,

"Kansas Twister, Setting Sun", Oil on panel, 6 X 8

"Windy Ridge, Rising Moon", Oil on panel, 10 X 14

Sold |
|
|
Study for "Windy Ridge, Rising Moon", Oil on panel, 5
X 7 Inches There are significant differences between this study and the finished studio work above. The light and dark contrasts are switched, making the rising moon an even more striking object. The streaking meteorite (or perhaps a comet) are not included in the larger work. There is actually a possibility that the sky object is Haley's Comet, which would have made this work to be executed in 1986, a year before the artist's death. A coincidence that the comet has always been an icon of impending death? |

"Emerald Sky, Rising Moon" (Ponderosa Pine), Oil on
panel, 12 X 12 Inches This is the quintescential work of Emerson Glass. The moon paintings are perhaps the most important of the artist's works, and this one is the finest of the moon paintings we have found to date. The execution in this painting is free and confident. The colors are bright and full of contrasts, yet the painting maintains the quiet mood of the rising moon, mingling briefly in the branches of the windswept ponderosa pine. A truly complete and satisfying work of art. |

"Sunrise at Chok-Wee-A-Ho", Oil on panel, 9 X 12 Inches
Little is known of the location or meaning of "Chok-Wee-A-Ho"... obviously an Indian name, but no references can be found for location or translation of this mysterious scene. The far ridge is painted in a very loose fashion, similar to the work of Vincent van Gogh, an artist known to be much admired by E. E. Glass. |

"Haystacks, Marquette, Kansas", Oil on panel, 9 X 12
Inches Marquette is a small farm community less than an hour's drive north from Lindsborg, Kansas. Quietly in the country in the early morning hours is another favorite time of Emerson Glass. This is one of the few works that is identified for location on the back of the painting. |

"Morning Light on Long's Peak" (Junipers and Pines),
Oil on panel, 13 X 18 Inches Emerson Glass is known to have lived in or near Estes Park, Colorado during the mid to later years of his life. The mixture of the colors in the sky of this painting is particular satifying of a difficult technical challenge. A larger work much influanced by Birger Sandzen. |
Sold |

"About to Strike", Oil on panel, 7 X 10 Inches You can almost feel the scales glimmering off the back of this trout. A quickly executed impressionist painting of a difficult subject makes this work even more impressive. The reflections of the sky in the water and distortions caused by ripples are both executed in believable fashion. The lively paint strokes only add to the activity of both water and fish. Be sure to view the detail image on our gallery postings. |

"A Deer in the Aspens", Oil on panel, 8 X 10 Inches At first glance, one hardly notices the deer hidden behind the quaking white birch trees. Technically, this painting has layers of thick pigments, one on top of the other, overlapping to reveal color underneath. A challenge for an artist to keep the eye moving and interested in the central subject. |
Sold |
|
|
"A Pond in the Rockies", Oil on panel, 5 X 7 Inches This small work was probably done on location. It's size and obvious quickness of execution done en plein air define this work as a study. Apparently done with a setting sun in late winter, the cold of the evening was likely setting in on the artist as he worked. |
Sold |
|
|
"Cycles of Life", Oil on panel, 8 X 10 Inches In the high ridges and lakes of the Rocky Mountains, life often struggles above the timber line. The elements of cold and wind take their toll, both of life and form of the vegetation. Here, the colors of the painting are quickly applied in contrasts, adding to the feel of that struggle. |
Sold |
|
|
"Setting Sun, Setting Moon", Oil on panel, 9 X 12
Inches Again, the early evening hours are revealed in a dramatic expression of light. The sun is setting, as is the sliver of the early moon. Not so evident in our images are the subtle mixtures of color around the moon and the planet Venus... dabs of light that indicate the effect of even the smallest light and its effect on the atmosphere. A fine and satisfying work that attracts much attention, even from a distance. |

"Last Light at Sugarloaf", Oil on canvas mounted to
panel, 9 X 12 Inches This painting is an ultimate expression of the color interplays that the American impressionists are known for. The sky colors range from pinks and yellows on the left to violets and blues on the right. The colors are picked up in succeeding layers in the mountains, overlaid again and again to offer reflections of the colors of a cool late afternoon in the Rocky Mountains. This is a fine impressionist painting, evincing the full range of the color mastery of Emerson Glass. |

"Old Pine, Wyoming", Oil on panel, 9 X 12 Inches Even on a calm day, the feel of the old west is upon the landscape of Colorado and Wyoming. The old pines cling stubbornly to their place and display their age, not so much by their size as by their character and success in living in the most demanding of conditions. |
Sold |

"Rocks at Vedauvoo, Wyoming", Oil on panel, 8 X 10

"Moonrise over the Rockies", Oil on Panel, 7 X 10 ½

|
"14° Below Zero, Windy", Oil on Panel, 9 X 12 Inches This painting is titled on the back... a testimony to the answering of the call to the real west by Mr. Glass. Undoubtedly done on location on a day with the tempterature and conditions evinced in the title. Few people would venture into the Rocky Mountains on such a day... however, an artist must if he is to convey the feel and reality of just such conditions. The pioneering spirit of the early artists who explored the west did not live in comfort, but carried their supplies on their backs and walked the trails to work. |

"Manitou Springs" (A Series of three Paintings), Oils
on Panel, 9 X 12 Inches each We have placed these three works together as one painting. They depict the same mountain range of Colorado at three different times of day... morning, midday and early evening with the rising moon. These works are very quickly done with brush and paint, with an urgency to them that reflects the need of the artist to capture the essence of the scene under different conditions. |

"Lone Pine", Oil on Panel, 12 X 16 Inches Color over color over color... that is the way of this fine painting. You can see in our images the striking overlays of color that add to the impact of this scene of morning on a high ridge in the Colorado Rockies. The clouds have a quick fleeing feeling to add to the motion of the atmosphere, the lower clouds in the valleys relfecting the same. A fine work depicting a difficult technical challenge of light and atmosphere. |

"The Cathedral Group" (Grand Tetons, Wyoming), Oil on
panel, 14 X 18 Inches This is a fairly early work... the ultimate techniques of the artist not yet fully developed.
