About the Crane
Black Eyed Susan by Local Artist Glenna Olmsted celebrates the warmth, beauty, and quiet spirit of summer in the Yampa Valley. Inspired by the golden fields, high mountain backdrops, and ranch landscapes that define this special place, this painted wooden crane expresses the vibrant gathering of black-eyed Susan flowers—their bright yellow petals echoing the long, sun-filled days of summer.
-Measurements: 28" wide x 48" high x 3/4" thick
About the Artist
Glenna Clark/Olmsted is a long time resident in Steamboat Springs, Colorado (since 1977). She’s been involved in painting and the arts since she was a young girl. Before moving to Steamboat, she lived in Crested Butte where she shared a shop selling her batik pieces. Over the years she’s painted in oil, watercolor and acrylic. She has studied with Wayan Karja in Bali, Indonesia as well as Ken Elliot and Kathleen Lanzoni and local teachers including Joan Hoffman and Mary Levingston. She’s fascinated by brilliant colors and incorporates them extensively in her paintings. She paints when traveling around the world adding diversity to her collection. Since her passion is plein air painting, Glenna’s studio is mostly the great outdoors. However, since she lives in the mountains of Colorado with long winters, she ventures out to paint whatever inspires her with her own impressionistic flair. She has been one of the 50 painters in the Plein Air Exhibitions at Steamboat Art Museum for several years. Her work has been on display exclusively in Steamboat at Creekside Café, Center For Visual Arts, Harwigs, White Hart Gallery, Sundance Studio, Alpine Bank, The Depot, The Chief Theater, Tread of Pioneers Museum and Steamboat Art Museum (SAM). She is currently a part of the Riverwalk Collective at the Depot/Steamboat Creates and a guest artist at the Wild Horse Movie Theatre and Undiscovered Earth.
