MERIDIAN - Martin Grelle of
Clifton is one of three local artists
who have been invited to hang their
works in the prestigious fourth an-
nual Masters of the American West
Fine Art Exhibition and Sale at the
Autry Museum of Western Heritage
in Los Angeles, Feb. 4-11. The other
local artists who will be entering
work in the show include George
Hallmark of Meridian, and Bruce
Greene of Clifton.
A member of the Cowboy Artists
of America since 1995, this will be
Grelle’s second year to be invited
to submit work at the Masters of
the American West Exhibition.
Born and raised in Clifton,
amidst the rolling hills and ranches
of Bosque County, Grelle’s paint-
ings depict his love for history and
the cowboy way of life. Having
spent time in a saddle, Grelle’s
work often allows the viewer to feel
like they are seated on a horse,
near-by, watching the unfolding of
a cattle drive or a Indian war party.
One of the paintings that will be
on exhibition in California reveals
a “successful coup” with a warrior
raising the Stars and Stripes. En-
titled “Captured Colors” the paint-
ing is 48x36-inches in size.

painting which Grelle is working on
