STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY Home Office: Bloomington, Illinois ( i ' v STATE FARM INSURANCE Painter Richard Murray's fondness for atmospheric effectssmoke, ef-fectssmoke, steam, fog and clouds has led him not only all over the Intermoun-tain Intermoun-tain West, but also England, South Africa, and Egypt. The 32-year-old artist has been painting since he was 16, and has eked out a living with it since he was 21. One art critic wrote that Murray "seems destined for inclusion in-clusion among those masters who have truly captured the constantly changing moods 01 the earth, water, and sky." Thirty-five of Murray's paintings are currently on display at the Meyer Gallery on Main Street. A third of them were inspired by his British trip, and surely the most conspicuous is a huge 200-pound painting called "Bend in the Creek Mountain Moun-tain Dell" which has been Park City Live!

"Off the top of my head," said co-owner Darrell Meyer, "that's the largest price for a painting ever sold in Summit County." Coun-ty." He confessed, "I was a little worried about getting it in through the door." Murray told The Newspaper that his 1979 trip to England was one of his most productive. The visits he saw filled up two sketchbooks, sketch-books, or were filed in his so-called so-called "mental library." He remembered the endless number of old buildings in the country. "Every hour some sort of castle showed up." He visited controversial South Africa in 1977. "I'm not very political," he said. "I remember pictures of wild game, bush fires, rivers overgrown with trees." In 1975, he toured Egypt. "A very poor country," he recalled. 'Yellow sand. White sails on the blue water. People were still plowing the fields with oxen." One of his favorite areas in the West is Mountain Dell above Salt Lake. "I like the cross between cultivated fields and the forests of Cottonwood Cot-tonwood and aspen trees." Murray is a Salt Lake native. He was an art student at the University of Utah for three years in the '60s, but decided to leave without a degree. He paints from sketches and photographs, although he used to be a field painter. "I like the last hour's light, but I wasn't able to catch it." He paints mostly in oils, and occassionally pen and ink. Darrell at the Meyer Gallery said he is pleased with the reception to the Murray exhibit. Of the 35 paintings, 23 have been sold at prices ranging from $600 to the aforementioned $10,000. He called Murray, "one of the strongest figures in oil painting." Art critic Kathy McGehee said that Murray's paintings concern "not only investigation in-vestigation of light and shadow, color and contrast, but also an emotional statement about the land." Murray said he doesn't verbalize well about his painting and its meaning. "If the work has room Tor interpretation, inter-pretation, the viewer can invest in-vest it with feelings of their own," he said. "When that happens, I'm doing what I want to do."
