Michael Ome Untiedt is a Master Oil Painter and Storyteller
Updated: May 25
One of America's great contemporary fine Western Artists
I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Ome Untiedt in 1997, shortly after moving to Colorado. He generously donated an exquisite landscape oil painting to Rocky Mountain PBS for its fundraising event. The next day, Untiedt contacted me to pick up the painting I purchased the night before and to choose a frame. Needless to say, I was very excited to meet the artist who created such a gorgeous work of art.
Over the years I discovered that Michael Untiedt who is known as a master painter of the American West, is also a master storyteller and there is always a fascinating story behind each piece. One of the reasons I chose to purchase one of his gorgeous paintings during a PBS fundraising event was because of its intriguing title "Gates Open to the Sangre de Christos". Being a newcomer to Colorado, I did not know anything about the mountain ranges or the people who had lived on the land before. As you will discover by clicking each of the images of Michael Ome Untiedt's paintings, there is an enlightening and amazing story!
"Night Herd with Starry Night" is a classic Untiedt nocture. The artist's talent for creating these works are often compared to the nocturnes of American painter and sculptor Frederic Remington (1861-1909).
In this scene, Untiedt uniquely captures the peacefulness and subtle colors of a solitary cowboy watching over his herd in the moonlight.
