Larry Dodson is a wildlife and landscape artist known all over the
United States and in many parts of the world. His paintings and prints
have sold to art collectors and individuals worldwide.
Born in 1943 and today, painting better than ever, Larry is working
relentless hours as one of the mid South's most skilled and popular
artists.
Back in the 1970s and '80s, the artist's name was right up there in
the public eyes along with his good friend, Ben Hampton, on the local
and national art scene.
Larry Dodson has become a household name nation wide via marketing
Limited Edition prints of his original watercolor and oil paintings.
Larry Dodson's first Limited Edition prints were of a painting he
titled "Springtime in Ellijay" (1975). The public's response was
overwhelming. He sold every one of the 1,000 signed and numbered prints
and 100 artist proofs in only a few weeks. That was followed by
"Curing Barn," "Mountain View Road" and "Misty Summer," all
printed in 1976 and all sold out.
The overwhelming success of the venture prompted the artist to do
Limited Edition prints of four more paintings during 1977. Again, all
sold out.
Over the years that followed, Larry Dodson, a native of the Scratch
Ankle community on Sand Mountain, produced 70 original paintings and
Limited Edition prints of each of them. Many of Larry's prints have
sold out, and others are very close to being sold out. "Southern
Autumn" became an official 1989 Alabama Reunion print.
By this time, the artist's prints were being marketed at 510 art
dealers in 47 states and Canada.
By the late 1990s, the artist began investing all of his time painting
- this time in the same medium of the masters - oils.
Larry Dodson, who "never took an art lesson," worked in oils until
1972, when he switched to the less forgiving but then popular
watercolor medium. Thus, switching back was no problem when he decided
to make the change in 1998.
"Today, people want colors," the artist observed, explaining that
oils are more brilliant, offer greater variety of colors, are easier to
work with and are more durable.
Since the switch, Larry Dodson has produced several oil paintings,
including an uncharacteristic (for him) cottage in England, entitled
"Summer Cottage" that is receiving much accolades from the public.
Painting and selling original oils is his focus now, numerous investors
have purchased them at prices ranging from $3,500 to $9,500.
Larry Dodson's art captures the beauty of nature on canvas. And, as
with many of his prints, their value has steadily increased.
