Description

Lester Hughes (1938–2021), Windmill Landscape — Oil on Canvas, 21″ × 36″

An original oil on canvas by Texas artist Lester Hughes, depicting a rustic wooden windmill against a rugged mountain (the Organ Mountains?). The jagged peaks rise through soft morning haze, rendered in Hughes’ signature muted palette and atmospheric style. The windmill and open rangeland foreground capture the quiet grandeur of the rural Southwest. Signed lower right. Presented in the original rustic wood frame with linen matting.

Hughes, celebrated for his evocative Western and Southwestern landscapes, was collected by notable figures, including U.S. presidents. This piece demonstrates his gift for blending realistic geography with mood, creating works that resonate deeply with collectors of Texas and New Mexico regional art.

Good condition overall. Canvas is taut and clean, with no damage or repairs noted. Frame is original and solid, showing only minor wear consistent with age.

Dimensions:
Frame: 21" x 36"
Visible Art: 14" x 29 ½"
