About the work

Titled and numbered on reverse along with the original price and a biography of the artist. The hand-written inscription on reverse reads “#3170, Desert Sunshine, Lyle V. Ball.” Housed in a hand-carved gilt frame.

Lyle Ball (1909 - 1992) descended from a pioneer family whose connection to the lands of Nevada around Reno spanned more than 150 years. Like many of his fellow Nevada artists, Ball described Nevada’s landscapes as having “a power” over him that couldn’t be described in words alone. He was largely self-taught, but acknowledged the influence of Craig Sheppard and Hans Meyer-Kassel.

Ball qualified for membership in the Society of Western Artists in 1970 and thereafter placed the initials S.W.A. after his signature.
