Biography: California-born artist Loran Speck is said to have drawn inspiration for his highly detailed still-life paintings from naturalistic artists of the Baroque such as Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Rubens. Speck attended Oregon State University on a football scholarship. A pre-dentistry major, he had never considered art until he enrolled in a scientific illustration class and became aware of his talent. Speck was honored with feature articles and covers such as USArt (October 1989), American Artist (February 1994), Art of the West (January/February 1996), Southwest Art (January 1987 & March 1998) and Art of the West (January/February) 2005. He worked from a studio in Carmel-by-the-Sea California for many years prior to his death in 2011.Condition
