One of the most recognized names in all of Western art, Gerald Harvey Jones or G. Harvey developed a passion for painting as a child while growing up in the rugged Texas hill country north of San Antonio.  Harvey's grandfather was a trail boss at the tender age of 18 and regaled him with stories of the old west.  Harvey went on to attend North Texas State University and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor Degree in art.  He then began his career by painting landscapes of the Texas hill country but has become famously known for street scenes of Texas cities and street scenes of other iconic American and International cities such as New York, Boston, and Paris. His paintings are executed in a romantic manner reminiscent of Edouard Cortes, a famous French painter from the late 19th and early 20th centuries known for his visually arresting scenes of Paris.  G. Harvey's use of light, whether it is from a street light or a ranch house interior has become one of his hallmarks as a painter.  Harvey has also become well known as a sculptor, having depicted numerous Western images along with his sculptures of Civil War figures.  Harvey's works can be found in numerous corporate collections, former U.S. Presidents, state governors, and the Smithsonian Institution.  G. Harvey passed away in 2017 at the age of 84.
