ABOUT THE ARTIST
REUEL DECKARD was born in Illinois on January 8th 1927

He died on February 8th 2005 in California

From his youth and through his teens, Reuel Deckard spent the summers roaming the woods and fields around
his grandfather’s farm in Southern Illinois. He helped on the farm: plowing, driving the team, etc.

He studied and sketched the wonders of nature that surrounded him there.
Some of his first paintings were done on the window shades in the old farmhouse.
This delighted visitors and family alike.

He won a scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago at the age of 12.

He went to a life class after serving in the Army. But his greatest teacher was always the
rolling prairie, the horse, mountains, deserts and all of nature at its fullest.

In addition to his sketches and paintings, Mr. Deckard was also an accomplished sculptor
and created a few bronze statues. The oil paintings, sketches, sculptures,
drawings and watercolors of Reuel Deckard are treasured by many
collectors, public and private, throughout the United States.

One of Mr. Deckard’s largest paintings is located in Victorville California at the Out Post Cafe.
The painting was featured in “The West Magazine” in the 1960’s.
The painting depicted pioneers coming from the East to settle new territory.

Reuel Deckard lived in Texas, Arizona and California. Mr. Deckard had a gallery in
Diamond Springs California for several years. He relocated to Jackson California in 1986.

His work was on display at the Jackson Museum. Mr. Deckard retired to Crescent City California
in the early 1990’s. He continued to paint for himself and for
special commissions until his eyesight diminished.

In the 1980’s, Mr. Deckard produced 950 limited edition prints each of four paintings:
Carson City to Nevada, Letter From Home, Wild Horse Canyon and Snow Scene.
A few prints are known to be signed and numbered.
