This original acrylic on board piece by artist Mark Weber is titled "Guadalupe River". In good condition, this piece measures 6" x 10" and is signed by the artist in the lower right corner. Mark Christopher Weber was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1949 and grew up in towns in Ohio, Missouri, California and Arkansas. While working on his Bachelor of Arts, Weber took a painting class out of curiosity. Once he began to work with oils, he became enchanted with the medium. He earned his degree in 1972, from the University of Arkansas, where he painted under Donald Roller Wilson and sculpted under Robert Sweeny.

After his graduation, he began his career as a professional freelance painter. "As I discovered my talent in painting and developed my skill, I gradually gave more emphasis to it than to sculpture. From the very beginning the thing that fascinated me most was the quality of light: how it falls on objects and reveal their form and how it can be used to reveal the character and heart of people."

Since 1973, Weber has lived and worked in Missouri. Artists who have influenced Weber’s work include Vermeer, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Frederick Church, Thomas Moran, Georges de la Tour, William Harnett and Canaletto.
