Original Oil Painting “Left to Tell” by Jerry Jordan [SOLD]

Jerry Jordan and his wife live in Taos, New Mexico, and have on a permanent basis since 1985.  He lived there briefly in the 1960s so he has had exposure to Taos artist's work for almost a half century.

He fell in love with paintings by the early 20th-century Taos painters hanging on the walls of the lobby, dining room and hallways of the Kachina Lodge where his family stayed.  It was this exposure that set the stage for his life work as an artist and his love affair with Taos that has matured and lasted throughout his life.

Jordan continues to draw inspiration from the Taos masters. His paintings are rich and vivid; seeming to capture not only beautiful images of Taos landscapes and pueblo life, but also the feeling of Taos itself, using his mastery of color and strong brushwork to create incredible texture.

This oil painting of a day in the life of Indians at Taos Pueblo easily portrays the serenity of the village.  Jordan, through his brush techniques and use of color, displays life in Northern New Mexico in a realistic manner-a manner that makes one want to live there.
