Colt's style of painting is best described as Semi-Abstract Impressionism showing the influence of his mentors, Burt Procter and Nicholi Fechin. The vast majority of his works were western acrylics and watercolor gouache. Colt’s best sellers during the 1970s were paintings depicting race cars, bull fighting and westerns with almost all of his paintings displaying both movement and drama.
He was an art teacher with his own studio in the mid 1960s through mid 1970s where he taught 30 students per week in Newport Beach, California.
Colt's Impressionist style was influenced by two Spanish artists, Velasquez and Goya and his own teacher in the 1950s and 1960s, Sergei Bongart, a student of Nicoli Fechin. See attached photo for more biographical information.
