Quanah Parker Comanche Indian Pocket Mirror
Lot #540 (Sale Order 540 of 1516)
2 1/8" in diameter. Quanah Parker (1845 – February 23, 1911) was a war leader of the Kwahadi ("Antelope") band of the Comanche Nation. He was likely born into the Nokoni ("Wanderers") band of Tabby-nocca and grew up among the Kwahadis, the son of Kwahadi Comanche chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, an Anglo-American who had been abducted as an eight-year-old child during the Fort Parker massacre in 1836 and assimilated into the Nokoni tribe. Following the apprehension of several Kiowa chiefs in 1871, Quanah Parker emerged as a dominant figure in the Red River War, clashing repeatedly with Colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie. With European-Americans hunting American bison, the Comanches' primary sustenance, into near extinction, Quanah Parker eventually surrendered and peaceably led the Kwahadi to the reservation at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Quanah Parker was never elected chief by his people but was appointed by the federal government as principal chief of the entire Comanche Nation.

Russell Smith Soul Cop Sculpture Missoula Montana
Lot #936 (Sale Order 936 of 1516)
Metal sculpture titled Soul Cop. 15" wide by 15" long. Made and dedicated to Darrel Johnson. Excerpt from the Missoulian Newspaper from Russell Smith; In 1975 Missoula, Montana I was working in a factory feeding a finger jointer machine. The counterculture was on the move. America was hungry for all manner of hand-made stuff and craft fairs were popping up everywhere. In an impulse of courage, I quit the sawmill, bought an acetylene torch and for the next ten years made a living -of sorts-, selling metal art in street shows. By 1985, the craft market had withered and I got a day job. Artwork went from being my livelihood to a serious hobby. Mechanical toys became my passion. My first Missoula Calendar... 1976... was given away by the bank and was very popular. I took that popularity to be enthusiasm for my work and decided to print my own calendars, sell them and make a bunch of money. Total bust! I didn't make enough to pay for the printing. Turns out what people loved was mostly having the bank give them something! I also learned that the marketing window for calendars is very small, and even with the perfect calendar at the perfect price it would be hard to get enough of them before enough people in time to recoup the investment. In the case of Russell Smith's art, the old dictum that things get better with age is cleverly proven true. Smith embodies the renaissance type artist that I often associate with the Western United States Darrel D. Johnson died October 16th 2024 at home with family by his side at age 91. He was born August 25th 1933 in Burlington Junction, Missouri to Herman and Etta (Parish) Johnson. His mother moved him from Quitman, Missouri to Council Bluff, Iowa where he was raised with two half brothers Donald and Dennis Dannat and one half sister Lolita (Dannat) Loudon. He entered the Army and served two years in Washington and California. He moved to Montana where he married Janice L. Needles, October 11th 1958, in Missoula MT. He joined the Missoula County Sheriffs Department in 1959 and transferred to the Missoula City Police Department in 1964 until he retired in 1986. He was also with the Powell County Sheriffs Department for 6 years until 1992. Darrel and his wife were very active in Cub Scouts (Pack 6), Webelos (Pack 6), and Boy Scouts (Troops 6 and 60) and, along with Sheriff John Moe, started the Annual Missoula Law Enforcement Youth Camp in 1965 held at Camp Paxson, Seeley Lake, Montana. Darrel was the coordinator for the 1st 17 years and continued supporting it for as long as his health could keep up with it. He was also a self-proclaimed Mountain Man and loved Black Powder Muskets and wrote a Cook book "Dutch Oven Cooking" For a Program called 'Becoming An Outdoors Woman.' His study in law enforcement led him to the history of Montanan's fighting crime and the Vigilante Day's of struggles with Outlaws in the Montana Territory, when lawmen were few and far between. Darrel and his wife Jan would make leather and buckskin outfits, moccasins, Walking Sticks, powder horns, beaded pouches, and Coon Skin hats. Darrel wanted to live in those days, not just read about them ("Born 100 years late"). He helped raise money for the March of Dimes in the 1960's, including once with a live demonstration complete with a robbery of North Town Missoula on Higgins Ave. The bank robberies (and local businesses) included robbing the train and Train Station. Pretending to rob traffic as they drove by for donations. It included a shoot out between The Vigilantes and members of the Plumber Gang. Those who survived were hung in a (staged) vacant lot across from the old Missoulian location on North Higgins. Darrel was unique in his ability for Fund Raising for various Youth Groups. One was the Annual Troop 60 Boy Scouts Chili Feed. His 'Off Time' included working Security for High School and College games. Darrel will be missed by family, friends, and the Missoula Community. His support for youths, the disabled and disadvantaged made him known by so many and his efforts will continue in the Missoula area.

Charles M Russell Montana Piegan Squaw Bronze
Lot #939 (Sale Order 939 of 1516)
Title is Piegan Squaw. 7 3/4" by 5" by 5". Number 27 of 35 with provenance. Charles Marion Russell (1864 - 1926) was active/lived in Montana, California, Missouri. Charles Russell is known for Indian-frontier genre painting, sculpture. Charles M. Russell, the nostalgic, held tight memories of a youthful past when the West belonged to God. There was a sense of loss, as poignant as losing a loved one. The specter of what this loss meant loomed over Russell the rest of his life. He was the quintessential nostalgic who grabbed history and married it to idealized memory and imagination. For example, despite Russell never witnessing a buffalo hunt, it became the basis for his most popular and desired art. Nancy Russell explained, "No man can be a painter without imagination." The Romantic art of the nineteenth century was the cornerstone to build the West reimagined for not only Russell, but also his contemporaries and future artists. No Western American artist fought back harder against racism, sexism, and championed environmentalism more than did Charles M. Russell. He thrived on imagining a time when the land was pristine, women were held in high regard, and people of color were the heroes. Paradoxically, the industrialized world championed just the opposite. To many, his life appeared odd—that cowboy hat, that sash, that unruly hair, that folksy talk. He and his art embraced an identity of an exile from a different place and time, which is even more appealing today. In that way, Russell was a visionary who instilled hope in all who saw his art, and his heart. For those reasons and much more, he is the most beloved of all the Western American artists. The Charles M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana; the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West at the University of Oklahoma in Norman; the Charles M. Russell Center Series on Art and Photography of the American West (books published by the University of Oklahoma University Press); the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge in Montana; the Russell Riders; and the Russell Skull Society are a testament to that fact. The Cowboy Artists of America have been called "The Sons of Charlie Russell" by art historian B. Byron Price for good reason. Russell was a legendary painter, sculptor, and author. Ever humble and self-effacing, as his fame skyrocketed, he never forgot his cowboy friends. The importance of his life and works is that no one has inspired more new generations of artists. Russell lived in the past and his wife Nancy who was his business manager lived for the future. How could a self-trained artist living in remote Montana become the highest paid artist in America? It’s quite a story. Charles Marion Russell was born on March 19, 1864 in St. Louis, Missouri, a bustling gateway to the West of some 200,000 people. Family history and adventure stories such as the Leatherstocking Tales by James Fenimore Cooper lured Russell to the West. On a crisp March day in 1880 Charles M. Russell jumped off the stagecoach in Helena, Montana Territory and took his turn as the latest easterner seeking western adventure. Accompanying him was Willis L.W. "Pike" Miller, a family acquaintance who acted as Russell’s guardian and gave him his first job in Montana on a sheep ranch Miller owned in the Judith Basin. While Miller was kind enough to chaperone Russell, they soon parted ways because Russell wanted nothing to do with sheepherding. For twelve years Russell and his horse Monte were together on the open range mainly nighthawking—somewhat of a lowly cowboy job of watching the horses overnight while the rest of the cowboys slept—until 1893 when Russell began transitioning from cowboy artist to full-time artist. Only a teenager, Russell was younger than most cowboys who were usually in their early twenties but shared with them the qualities of being gregarious, humble, energetic and adventuresome. Charlie saw the cowboy as the last frontiersman—unlike the colorless overburdened farmer and sheep herder. The period from 1906 to 1910 was one of the most productive and enjoyable times of Charlie’s life, which in no small part was due to the summers at Bull Head Lodge and the mentoring by others such as Philip R. Goodwin who visited him there in 1907 and 1910. Glacier National Park has the type of views that keep postcard publishers in business. The mountains fanned the flames of Charlie Russell’s creative genius. He understood that the mountains don’t need us, we need the mountains. Charlie’s favorite place in the world was the lodge, a log structure nestled among the cedar, fir, and tamarack along the shoreline of beautiful Lake McDonald. The years from 1911 to 1915 were a time of artistic achievement by Russell and promotion by Nancy who was as skilled as any field general with her well planned exhibitions in America, Canada, and England. It would be a grueling pace for the duo, but one that would yield a bountiful harvest of financial and critic

The Late Dr. Harold McCracken, Director Emeritus of the Whitney Gallery of Western Art, was quoted in the forward of Scriver's book NO MORE BUFFALO as calling Scriver: "America's foremost sculptor today-bar none". Scriver died January 29,1999. He has left behind him stories, and dreams of the West....in bronze.

The End of the Trail James Earle Fraser Bronze
Lot #948 (Sale Order 948 of 1516)
Title is End of Trail. 7 1/2" by 5 5/8" by 3". James Earle Fraser (1876 - 1953) was active/lived in New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Minnesota. James Fraser is known for Indian figure sculpture, coin design. Having spent his childhood in the West, James Earle Fraser became one of the more famous American sculptors of cowboys, Indians, and horses. He also designed the Buffalo Nickel, which has been called the first uniquely American coin. (Reynolds, 189). From 1920 to 1925, he served on the National Arts Commission, and played a key role in promoting American subject matter in public art. In 1919, he received the Saltus Medal*, the most prestigious medallic art award. He attended public school in Minneapolis, but lived much of the time in a railway car crossing through the Dakotas because his father was in charge of laying railroad track across the western plains. At age 18, with obvious art talent, he began studies at the Art Institute of Chicago and there studied sculpture with Richard Bock. By age 20, he was a student in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and also studied at the Julian and Colarossi Academies. At age 22, he became an assistant in New York City to Augustus Saint- Gaudens before opening his own studio in New York. He was probably Saint-Gauden's favorite assistant.(Reynolds, 189). Fraser's first important commission was a bust of Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. In 1913, he designed the U.S. Buffalo Nickel, using three different Indians to get the single portrait. The bison on the reverse side was modeled after Black Diamond, a buffalo at the New York Zoo, and the Indian was modeled from three different persons whom Fraser knew: Chief Iron Trail, John Big Tree, and Two Moons.

Philip R Goodwin Mountain Lion Bronze
Lot #951 (Sale Order 951 of 1516)
3 1/2" tall, 2 1/2" long, 1 1/4" wide. Philip Russell Goodwin (1881 - 1935) was active/lived in New York, Connecticut. Philip Goodwin is known for Animal, field-stream illustration. Known for his illustrations of hunting, fishing, and cowboy scenes, especially scenes featuring firearms, Philip R. Goodwin was from Norwich, Connecticut. By the age of eleven, he had already sold his first illustrations to Collier's magazine. He was educated at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence and the Art Students' League in New York. He also studied with Howard Pyle in Pennsylvania. His works exhibit much of Pyle's earnestness and discipline, but are restricted almost entirely to subjects of hunting and fishing. In this limited area, however, he produced many notable pictures, the subject matter always convincing and dramatic in color. In his early twenties, he established a studio in New York and met Charles Russell, whose paintings of western subjects provided a great influence on Goodwin's work in that genre. Goodwin's interest in scenes of cowboys and ranch life is evident in Bronco Buster. The two men traveled together on several occasions, sketching source material for their paintings. Meanwhile, Goodwin appeared in such books as Jack London's Call of the Wild. Goodwin's pictures were also published in Harper's Monthly and Weekly, Outing, Scribner's, and Everybody's magazines, in addition to calendar subjects for Brown & Bigelow, advertising for Winchester Arms and the Marlin Firearms Company. He also illustrated African Game Trails for Theodore Roosevelt. Goodwin's interest in Charles Russell is seen not only in Goodwin's use of bright, vivid colors, but also in the romanticized subject matter, which appears to celebrate the bonding of rider and mount.

Charles M Russell Buffalo Bronze
Lot #955 (Sale Order 955 of 1516)
Title is Lone Buffalo. 6 5/8" by 5" by 4 3/8". Charles Marion Russell (1864 - 1926) was active/lived in Montana, California, Missouri. Charles Russell is known for Indian-frontier genre painting, sculpture. Charles M. Russell, the nostalgic, held tight memories of a youthful past when the West belonged to God. There was a sense of loss, as poignant as losing a loved one. The specter of what this loss meant loomed over Russell the rest of his life. He was the quintessential nostalgic who grabbed history and married it to idealized memory and imagination. For example, despite Russell never witnessing a buffalo hunt, it became the basis for his most popular and desired art. Nancy Russell explained, "No man can be a painter without imagination." The Romantic art of the nineteenth century was the cornerstone to build the West reimagined for not only Russell, but also his contemporaries and future artists. No Western American artist fought back harder against racism, sexism, and championed environmentalism more than did Charles M. Russell. He thrived on imagining a time when the land was pristine, women were held in high regard, and people of color were the heroes. Paradoxically, the industrialized world championed just the opposite. To many, his life appeared odd—that cowboy hat, that sash, that unruly hair, that folksy talk. He and his art embraced an identity of an exile from a different place and time, which is even more appealing today. In that way, Russell was a visionary who instilled hope in all who saw his art, and his heart. For those reasons and much more, he is the most beloved of all the Western American artists. The Charles M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana; the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West at the University of Oklahoma in Norman; the Charles M. Russell Center Series on Art and Photography of the American West (books published by the University of Oklahoma University Press); the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge in Montana; the Russell Riders; and the Russell Skull Society are a testament to that fact. The Cowboy Artists of America have been called "The Sons of Charlie Russell" by art historian B. Byron Price for good reason. Russell was a legendary painter, sculptor, and author. Ever humble and self-effacing, as his fame skyrocketed, he never forgot his cowboy friends. The importance of his life and works is that no one has inspired more new generations of artists. Russell lived in the past and his wife Nancy who was his business manager lived for the future. How could a self-trained artist living in remote Montana become the highest paid artist in America? It’s quite a story. Charles Marion Russell was born on March 19, 1864 in St. Louis, Missouri, a bustling gateway to the West of some 200,000 people. Family history and adventure stories such as the Leatherstocking Tales by James Fenimore Cooper lured Russell to the West. On a crisp March day in 1880 Charles M. Russell jumped off the stagecoach in Helena, Montana Territory and took his turn as the latest easterner seeking western adventure. Accompanying him was Willis L.W. "Pike" Miller, a family acquaintance who acted as Russell’s guardian and gave him his first job in Montana on a sheep ranch Miller owned in the Judith Basin. While Miller was kind enough to chaperone Russell, they soon parted ways because Russell wanted nothing to do with sheepherding. For twelve years Russell and his horse Monte were together on the open range mainly nighthawking—somewhat of a lowly cowboy job of watching the horses overnight while the rest of the cowboys slept—until 1893 when Russell began transitioning from cowboy artist to full-time artist. Only a teenager, Russell was younger than most cowboys who were usually in their early twenties but shared with them the qualities of being gregarious, humble, energetic and adventuresome. Charlie saw the cowboy as the last frontiersman—unlike the colorless overburdened farmer and sheep herder. The period from 1906 to 1910 was one of the most productive and enjoyable times of Charlie’s life, which in no small part was due to the summers at Bull Head Lodge and the mentoring by others such as Philip R. Goodwin who visited him there in 1907 and 1910. Glacier National Park has the type of views that keep postcard publishers in business. The mountains fanned the flames of Charlie Russell’s creative genius. He understood that the mountains don’t need us, we need the mountains. Charlie’s favorite place in the world was the lodge, a log structure nestled among the cedar, fir, and tamarack along the shoreline of beautiful Lake McDonald. The years from 1911 to 1915 were a time of artistic achievement by Russell and promotion by Nancy who was as skilled as any field general with her well planned exhibitions in America, Canada, and England. It would be a grueling pace for the duo, but one that would yield a bountiful harvest of financial and critical success. The cowboy artist
Frederic Remington Cheyenne Bronze
Lot #956 (Sale Order 956 of 1516)
Title is Cheyenne. 7" by 6 3/4" by 3". Frederic Sackrider Remington (1861 - 1909) was active/lived in New York, Kansas, Connecticut. Frederic Remington is known for Western painting and sculpture, illustration. In his lifetime polymath Frederic Remington was the most successful and famous Western American artist. His immense talents included excelling as an illustrator, author, sculptor, and fine artist. His was a life tragically cut short. Born on October 4, 1861 in Canton, a small berg in bucolic upper state New York, he was much influenced by his father Seth Pierpont Remington, a Republican journalist who founded the St. Lawrence Plaindealer. His father had been a captain in the Civil War, and in 1870 President Ulysses S. Grant appointed him United States Collector of the Port of Ogdensburg, New York. In 1876 young Frederic enrolled at Highland Military Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts where he studied for the next two years. Two years later he enrolled at Yale for one year to study in the School of Fine Arts. His two loves were art and football. Only three months into school, he published his first illustration in the on-campus newspaper Yale Courant. On the gridiron he was a natural, demonstrating great strength and agility. Like Theodore Roosevelt, Remington also enjoyed boxing. A year later he met his future wife Eva Caten from Gloversville, New York. After the death of Remington’s father from tuberculosis on February 18, 1879, Eva rejected his first marriage proposal. Floundering, Remington headed to the American West to find himself—much like Theodore Roosevelt did when his mother and wife died on the same day. That led to a trip to Montana where he completed a number of sketches. Invigorated by his Western experiences, in February 1883 he headed to Kansas and with part of his inheritance bought a 160 acre sheep ranch near Peabody, Kansas. That failed adventure lasted about a year, and he then relocated to Kansas City, Missouri where Eva would join him as his wife. Yet he squandered the rest of his inheritance on a saloon there. After more illustrations were sold to Harper’s Weekly, in 1885 the Remingtons moved to New York City, and in 1886 he attended the Art Students League. By then Remington was earning $1,200 a year, twice the income of a school teacher. Other magazines such as St. Nicholas and Outing also published his art. His work certainly impressed a young Theodore Roosevelt who was chronicling his life in Medora—now in North Dakota—for a serial that ran in The Century Magazine. It was very common at the time for authors to serialize their works in magazines before they were published in book form. In the fall of 1887 Remington was commissioned to illustrate the magazine stories which ended up in Roosevelt’s 1888 classic book Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail. Early on, a lasting friendship between the two was cemented through these publications. By 1889 he had garnered national notoriety as one of the most accomplished illustrators in the country. He was a national celebrity. In 1889 his monumental canvas A Dash for the Timber was exhibited at the National Academy of Design. The New York Times reported, "The picture at the Autumn exhibition of the Academy of Design before which stands the largest number of people is Frederic Remington’s Dash for the Timber." A Silver medal for Last Lull in the Fight followed at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1891 the National Academy of Design elected Remington as an Associate member. Yet he was never admitted as National Academician, despite support from fellow artists Gilbert Gaul, Childe Hassam, and others. His financial success allowed the Remingtons to move into a grand home he named Ednion Algonquin for "a place where I live in New Rochelle, New York. A young Norman Rockwell would someday paint in his studio. Through his travels, Remington embraced social Darwinism survival of the fittest that championed the U.S. military’s domination of the inferior Native Americans. Theodore Roosevelt, George Armstrong Custer, and Remington along with most other Americans—idolized Charles Darwin. As early as 1888 Remington started contributing short stories along with illustrations to magazines. His writings teemed with romantic Western stories chalk full of drama and violence. Initially, they presented the cavalryman as the hero and the Indian as the villain, especially when the Indian had been tainted with the vices of the white man. His West was the "frontier model where the fittest were rugged individuals from northern Europe and white Americans. Even though he was an accomplished author and painter, perhaps his greatest talent was as a sculptor. His bronzes are more famous and collectible than any other Western American artist. And yet his bronze repertoire was completed in just fourteen years. Starting in order of modeling, they are: The Broncho Buster, The Wounded Bunkie, The Wicked Pony, The Scalp, The Norther, The Cheyenne, The Buffalo Signal,

John William Hilton California Desert Oil Painting
Lot #992 (Sale Order 992 of 1516)
Title is San Jacinto Palms Springs California. Oil on Board. 12" by 16" unframed, 20 1/2" by 16 3/4" framed. John William Hilton (1904 - 1983) was active/lived in California, Hawaii. John Hilton is known for Desert landscape painting, illustration. Although best known as a landscape painter of the American Southwest, John Hilton was a man of multiple talents. Hilton was also a naturalist whose work on desert subjects was incorporated in numerous museum publications, a biologist and botanist whose discoveries led to the naming of species of crabs, ticks, snakes, turtles and cacti in his name, a jewelry designer for the Hollywood elite in the Roaring Twenties, a gemologist of international repute, a southern California desert guide for General Patton, a miner and prospector, the author of several books and a musician whose musical talents allowed him to make a living while he honed his artistic skills. Yet for all of these accomplishments it is his visual interpretations of the Sonoran Desert for which he is still best known. Hilton's love of the desert was apparent in both his writings and paintings. In an essay which appeared in the March 1960 edition of Arizona Highways, Hilton says of the Sonoran Desert "This is my desert! It extends through Arizona, southern California, Nevada, southern Utah, New Mexico and northern Mexico states of Sonora, Chihuaha, Sinaloa and Baja California. . . . It is a land of peace, silence and boundless skies . . . It is as if nature herself set aside these vast areas . . . so that thinking men might have a place where they go to regain their perspective and find themselves and their true meaning." He went on to state that if he was able to share at least a portion of his feelings for his desert, then he would have accomplished what he "set out to do". Ironically enough, this Renaissance man of the desert was born on September 9, 1904 in a sod shack near Carrington, North Dakota. His mother was a North Dakota farm girl and his father was a baker who decided when John was four years old to become a missionary. The family set sail for China and arrived in time to witness the Sun Yat Sen revolution. Hilton later claimed that by the time he was ten he met Chinese bandits and philosophers, traveled the length of the Great Wall of China, crossed the Pacific Ocean four times and visited forty states, Japan, Canada, and Mexico. These early experiences during his formative years helped to create a wanderlust and sense of adventure that never deserted him. Another incident took place shortly after the family's arrival in China that would have a lasting influence on John Hilton's life. Hilton recalled that an elderly Chinese man, who served as the gatekeeper to the Hilton's residence, remarked to Hilton's father that John was "one of the old ones." The gatekeeper went on to explain that young John had lived on earth before and had returned "with much wisdom". Obviously the concept of reincarnation was deeply disturbing to Hilton's devout Christian parents. They asked the gatekeeper not to bring up the subject again. Exactly how impressionable the gatekeeper's observations were on young John is not known. But throughout Hilton's life he maintained a fascination with the occult as well as a deep seated belief that he had led several past lives. Not long after John turned ten the Hilton family returned to the United States. They lived in the Midwest for a few years before moving to Los Angeles. The age of thirteen found John's family living in Redondo Beach, California. He decided to take up gemology after he was thrown out of his high school art class for his portrayal of a fully clothed live model totally in the nude. Although in later years Hilton's recounting of the episode took on a very humorous tone, he also recalled that the art instructor's rebuke was so severe that he couldn't bring himself to paint or draw for several years after the incident. After completing his education at various schools in the Los Angeles area Hilton attended La Verne College. During the summers he worked for the Golden State Gem Company. After his second summer on the job the company offered him full time employment. Hilton later claimed he accepted the offer in small part because of the good pay it offered and in large part because he had just become engaged to his first wife, Eunice. The Golden State Gem Company was one of the largest wholesale jewelry and importing firms on the Pacific coast. Over the next several years Hilton's client's included many of the Hollywood elite. However with the onslaught of the depression the jewelry firm went out of business and Hilton found himself both broke and unemployed at the age of twenty-seven. Hilton recalls going alone on a camping trip in the desert not long afterwards where he lamented his situation: a wife and small son to support, no job, no prospects, and no money. After staring at the clear night sky for hours, he began pounding his fists in the sand and cry

The unexpected and my desire to experiment have influenced me in use gunpowder as an art medium. The very nature of exploding it to burn paper and create artworks Is like trying to orchestrate chaos. And I find joy and excitement when I can experience a state of flow within that realm of chaos. There is an immediate connection with each explosion – an uncontrollable, unexpected outcome that allows, even forces me to work with the unexpected and see possibilities beyond my initial intent. I want my art to also offer viewers an opportunity for curiosity: whether it’s visually meandering through the entire piece or getting lost in the tiny elements of movement and depth within larger individual shapes; to contemplating their feelings and interpretation or trying to solve the technical aspects of its creation. All of those elements are part of my creation process.

Title is Early Winter Blues. Watercolor on Canvas. 12" by 12". An appreciation of both nature and art has always been a part of Karen Savory’s life. Growing up along the Niagara River in Western NY, she could never get enough of either.? She would beg her dad to take her camping and fishing with the boys and then beg her mom to let her help with sewing and painting projects. She doodled incessantly as a student filling the margins of her schoolwork with a menagerie of characters, amusing herself as well as her schoolmates. Ultimately, deciding on a career that didn’t have the term "starving" associated with it, she studied to become a physical therapist where she continued her drawing as a tool to learn muscle attachments and nerve interventions. Upon graduation she moved west to work as a traveling therapist where she fell in love with the landscape and all things wild. Together, with her husband Van, she spent most of her free time taking months long backpacking and cycle touring trips into and around the mountains that held her heart. As she learned more about the mysteries of nature she developed an ever-deeper appreciation of its wonders. Her sketches quickly evolved from quirky cartoon characters into illustrations of her new environment and its inhabitants. In 2014, no longer fearing starvation, she retired from physical therapy and now works as a professional artist creating bright whimsical wildlife paintings that are filled with joy. Living in a small log cabin in the foothills of the Bitterroot mountains of Montana, she is surrounded by inspiration from the wonderful people that share their lives with her to the awesome beauty of nature. In addition to selling her work in more traditional ways, her art is used to support the protection of wild places and open lands through partnerships with her local land trust and several environmental groups. Today, as she continues to explore the world, she knows just how lucky she is to combine her longtime passions as she creates art that shares her love of nature.

Hand Painted Door from the Joint Effort Head Shop in Missoula Montana. 36" by 80". Monte Dolack (Born 1950) is active/lives in Montana. Monte Dolack is known for Poster illustration, landscape and wildlife painting. A native of Great Falls, Monte Dolack grew up surrounded by the same sweeping vistas and big sky that inspired Charlie Russell. His love of Montana and passion for the West's diverse landscapes and wildlife are evident in the images he creates and the commissions he undertakes. After studying art at Montana State University and The University of Montana, Monte opened his first studio in 1974, beginning a career in fine art and graphics. His best known early works - wild animals wreaking havoc in human homes - comprise his Invaders Series, exploring the myths of the West and how we view our relationship with our environment. The irresistible appeal of these images helped build Monte's national reputation and continues to attract collectors. Monte has been the recipient of a number of prestigious awards in the course of his career, and his work is part of the collection of the Library of Congress, the American Association of Museums, the National Wildfire Foundation and numerous other museums and corporations. Recent exhibitions include The Montana Exhibition, Manawatu Art Museum, New Zealand; Artists of the American West, Bank of Ireland Arts Centre, Dublin, Ireland, and The Kumamoto Prefectural Art Museum, Kumamoto, Japan. Monte's work was chosen to be included in The North American Print Biennial, Boston, MA and New American Paintings, a Western States competition sponsored by the Open Studio Press as well as five major museums in China including the National Art Museum of Bejing, as part of the New West Exhibition. In 2011 he exhibited at the Palace of Nations at the United Nations, Geneva Switzerland. He was selected at the turn of the century by the Missoulian as one of the 100 most influential Montanans of the twentieth century and recently received the distinguished Fine Arts Alumni Award from the University of Montana along with his wife, Mary Beth Percival. A love of the natural world, combined with his exuberant curiosity and travel experiences, has shaped the content of Monte's imagery. Blending mythology, technology and elements from nature, his work is infused with a sense of humor and irony. Monte's keen interest in environmental issues has lead to commissions for the Nature Conservancy, Defenders of Wildlife and Trout Unlimited as well as over 200 posters and prints for various organizations. In addition to his acrylic, oil and watercolor painting, Monte continues to pursue his interest in traditional printmaking, having created numerous original lithographs. Since 1993, with his wife, Mary Beth Percival and staff, he operates a flourishing gallery in downtown Missoula. Monte and Mary Beth have traveled extensively in the US, Europe, Mexico, New Zealand and Japan, visiting important cultural sites and museums and making paintings from their travels.

Title is Man of Taos. Pastel on Paper. 15" by 18" framed. Harold J. (Hal) English (1910 - 2008) was active/lived in New York. Harold English is known for Portrait, landscape and figure paintings, drawings. Harold J. "Hal" English (American, 1910-2008) artist, painter, free-lance advertising designer, teacher, lecturer, and art director is primarily known for his portraits, landscapes, nudes, figurative works, illustrations, and realistic pen & ink drawings. He worked in oils, watercolors, charcoal, pastels, and pen & ink. Hal was born in Buffalo, NY, and grew up in the Lovejoy area of the city. He graduated from the Buffalo Technical High School, and studied art and drawing at the Albright Art School under Florence Julia Bach (American, 1887-1978), also in Buffalo. During the Depression, Hal earned money by doing hand-painted signs for various storefront windows, auto dealers and rooftop billboards. He also worked on an ice wagon, delivering 50-pound blocks of ice to homes without the convenience of electric refrigerators. Circa 1934, as a freelance agent he began working for the Buffalo office of the worldwide advertising agency Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn. For 30 years at BBD&O he served as an advertising & commercial artist, advertising consultant, lettering specialist and also served as art director for various departments. During World War II, Hal created detailed mechanical drawings of blown-up sections of intricate aircraft assemblies for the Curtiss-Wright Corporation which were used in their repair manuals around the world. Active in the Park School of Buffalo, Snyder, NY, he was chairman of the Fathers Committee and a member of the Board of Trustees, and also produced the school's first recruiting catalog in the 1950's. After retiring from BBD&O in 1964, English devoted himself to the fine arts, beginning with commissioned portraits. Hal taught art and mechanical drawing at Buffalo State College, Buffalo, NY, and also at the SUNY Urban Center in Buffalo. Circa the mid 1970's, he was the artist in residence at Hilbert College, Hamburg, NY teaching summer and fall art classes in drawing, painting, portrait & figures. He also taught art classes at the Centennial Art Center, Hamburg, NY circa the mid-late 1980's and privately for many years out of his studio. He continued working until he was in his early 90's, and earned the title of "Master Pastelist" after winning Best-in-Show for three years at the Pastel Society of America's National Exhibition in New York City, of which he was a member. He was also a member of the Western New York Artists Group, the Hamburg Art Society and the Cheektowaga Creative Arts Guild (President). Hal exhibited with the WNYAG and Hamburg Art Society, as well as in numerous art shows, festivals and venues in and around the Buffalo area and New Mexico, winning several awards for his works. In 1982, Hal won the prestigious Grumbacher Award at the "National Small Painting Exhibition" held by the New Mexico Art League, and the Albuquerque Tribune reported that his pastel portrait of a Taos Indian chief stole the show that year. In reviewing a 1995 retrospective show, the Buffalo News Art Critic Richard Huntington cited Hal for his, "workmanlike style--a blend of 40's and 50's illustration and an Edward Hopper-ish kind of solid realism."[1] In 1938, Hal married Helen K. (nee Schnoor, 1912-2002) English, a teacher in the West Seneca Central School District who concentrated on fifth grade social studies. They had two children; son, Dale C. English, former assistant metro editor at the Courier-Express and a contributing writer for Business First and member of the New York State Legislative Correspondents Association, as well as the American Newspaper Guild; and daughter, Cheryl E. (Martin), a professor of history at the University of Texas at El Paso, TX. A longtime parishioner of St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church in South Buffalo, Hal became associated with the St. John Vianney Roman Catholic Church in Orchard Park, NY. After the famed 'Blizzard of 1977', he and his wife moved from their 272 Eden Street residence in South Buffalo, NY in 1978, to 136 Heather Hill Drive in West Seneca. In 2001, they moved to Orchard Park, NY where Hal remained until his death in 2008. His wife Helen, passed away shortly after their move in 2002 at the age of 89.

Lot #1085 (Sale Order 1085 of 1516)
Oil on Canvas. Title is The White Mouse Monterey California. 10" by 15". Provenance: Private Collection Santa Fe New Mexico, John Fillmore Gallery Santa Fe, Maxwell Galleries San Francisco. August Gay (1890 - 1948) was active/lived in California. August Gay is known for Modernist landscape, waterfront, mural. Known as "Gus" Gay, he was part of the Society of Six, a group in the Bay Area of California in the 1920s led by Selden Gile that espoused a new style of painting focused on bright colors and impressionist techniques. It was a rebellion against the prevalent sombre tonalism and decorative aesthetics of William Keith and Arthur Mathews. Much of his painting was Cubist inspired and geometric, and he did not receive much national recognition until the 1950s. In addition to painting landscapes and coastal scenes, many of them on cigar box tops, he was also a muralist, etcher, and furniture builder. Gay was born in Rabou, near Gap, France between Marseilles and Turin and from this background, brought a strong appreciation of French Impressionism to the Society of Six although he was not a part of the Paris art scene. He is credited with having an innate sense of color and a basic happiness that transferred to his bright, cheerful paintings. He emigrated with his father and siblings to Oakland, California in 1900. However, the mother stayed in France, and Gay never saw her again. At age sixteen, he developed tuberculosis and spent three years recuperating on his uncle's ranch in the Imperial Valley. During that time, he did much sketching and developed a commitment to art, but he never regained much energy and had a frail constitution. He was short, about five feet four inches, wiry, and seemed totally oblivious to most everything but his painting. He met Selden Gile when he bought bricks from Gladding McBean, where Gile was employed, and in 1910, moved in with Gile to escape his very crowded, uncomfortable family home. He worked menial jobs around the city including at a fruit cannery, a warehouse, and at the Palace Hotel Restaurant as a food checker. He never seemed to have enough money and often wore Gile's clothing. The two lived together for nearly a decade, although Gile, who gave financial support to his friend, was often impatient with what he regarded as Gay's slow pace. After 1919, Gay lived in Monterey but continued to exhibit with the Six at the Oakland Art Gallery. In Monterey, he shared a studio with Clayton Price, and living in Carmel during the last ten years of his life, worked as a furniture designer and custom framer until his death on March 9, 1948. Gay's art education was minimal. He attended occasional classes at the California School of Arts and Crafts and later took night school at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. In 1916, he entered his first exhibition. His work is in the collection of the Oakland Museum and Monterey High School where he did a mural.

Oil on Board. Title is Cowboy and Cows El Rancho de San Sebastian Santa Fe New Mexico. 12" by 16" unframed, 16 1/2" by 20 3/8" framed. Provenance: Private Collection Santa Fe New Mexico, John Fillmore Gallery Santa Fe New Mexico. Fremont F. Ellis (1897 - 1985) was active/lived in New Mexico, California. Fremont Ellis is known for Landscape and Indian painting, graphics. Born in Virginia City, Montana, Fremont Ellis earned a reputation as a New Mexico painter of site-specific landscapes that conveyed his intense feelings for the rich coloration of the Southwest. He was much influenced by American Impressionism and was one of the few newcomer artists of Santa Fe who had been born in the West. His family had gone to Montana during the Gold Rush, and his father, trained as a dentist, went into theatrical work. As a youngster, Ellis played the drums in his father's movie theatre. The family traveled all over the county, and the future artist spent much time in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. He briefly attended the Art Students League, but decided to return West to the landscape he loved. He first went to El Paso, Texas, where he taught art and then in Santa Fe joined his friends Willard Nash, Jozef Bakos, Will Shuster, and Walter Mruk. Together they formed the Los Cinco Pintores, modernist-tending artists who had their first of several exhibitions in the Museum of Santa Fe in 1921. However, the group did not stay together very long, as stylistically they went in a variety of directions. Ellis, considered the "loner" of the group, married and spent a period of time in Espanola, about twenty-five miles north of Santa Fe. Later he settled about ten miles east of Santa Fe in a home that came to be regarded as one of the most beautiful of the haciendas in that area. From the time he was young, he had developed a great love of the Spanish people of New Mexico. His wife was a member of an old, aristocratic New Mexican family that owned in Santa Fe a large piece of property where the Hilton Inn subsequently was located. Ellis became saddened by what he regarded as the loss of the old ways--the quiet, gentle way of life.

Theodor Seuss Dr Seuss Geisel Bingle Bug Drawing
Lot #1088 (Sale Order 1088 of 1516)
Signed edition of Thidwick the Big Hearted Moose. Along with the signature Seuss drew a Bingle Bug, with the caption "extra bingle bug for Andy Gribben from Dr. Seuss". Theodor Seuss (Dr Seuss) Geisel (1904 - 1991) was active/lived in Massachusetts, California. Theodor Geisel is known for Children's book illustration. Dr. Seuss was born Theodore Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines. Dr. Seuss' first children's book, And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street hit the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed forever! In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best- selling series, "Beginner Books". This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to read. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and two Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 childrens books, some of which have been made into audio cassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world. Theodor Seuss Geisel was born 2 March 1904 in Springfield, MA. He graduated Dartmouth College in 1925, and proceeded on to Oxford University with the intent of acquiring a doctorate in literature. At Oxford he met Helen Palmer, whom he wed in 1927. He returned from Europe in 1927, and began working for a magazine called Judge, the leading humor magazine in America at the time, submitting both cartoons and humorous articles for them. Additionally, he was submitting cartoons to Life, Vanity Fair and Liberty. In some of his works, he'd made reference to an insecticide called Flit. These references gained notice, and led to a contract to draw comic ads for Flit. This association lasted 17 years, gained him national exposure, and coined the catch phrase "Quick, Henry, the Flit!" In 1936 on the way to a vacation in Europe, listening to the rhythm of the ship's engines, he came up with And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, which was then promptly rejected by the first 43 publishers he showed it to. Eventually in 1937 a friend published the book for him, and it went on to at least moderate success. During WW II, Geisel joined the army and was sent to Hollywood. Captain Geisel would write for Frank Capra's Signal Corps Unit (for which he won the Legion of Merit) and do documentaries (he won Oscar's for Hitler Lives and Design for Death). He also created a cartoon called Gerald McBoing-Boing, which also won him an Oscar. In May of 1954, Life magazine published a report concerning illiteracy among school children. The report said, among other things, that children were having trouble to read because their books were boring. This inspired Geisel's publisher, and prompted him to send Geisel a list of 400 words he felt were important, asked him to cut the list to 250 words (the publishers idea of how many words at one time a first grader could absorb), and write a book. Nine months later, Geisel, using 220 of the words given to him published The Cat in the Hat, which went on to instant success. In 1960 Bennett Cerf bet Geisel $50 that he couldn't write an entire book using only fifty words. The result was Green Eggs and Ham. Cerf never paid the $50. Helen Palmer Geisel died in 1967. Theodor Geisel married Audrey Stone Diamond in 1968. He died 24 September 1991.

Lot #1089 (Sale Order 1089 of 1516)
Title is Taos Aspens. Oil on Board. 12 1/4" by 22 3/8" framed. Provenance: From the Estate of Uvaldo and Isabel Sandoval of Taos New Mexico. Uvaldo was the sheriff of Taos Pueblo from 1952-1954. Bert Geer Phillips (1868 - 1956) was active/lived in New Mexico, California. Bert Phillips is known for Southwest Indian figure, landscape and genre painting. Bert Phillips was an American artist, born in Hudson, New York, on July 15, 1868. The great heroes of Bert Geer Phillips' youth were Kit Carson and the American Indian. Years later he was able to pay tribute to both of them in a unique and gratifying way, through his paintings. He began drawing before he could write, and when still a small boy won first prize at the county fair for a collection of watercolors. After studying at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design, he set up a studio in New York, where he painted for the next five years. He then spent seven months in England, where he produced some charming watercolors of pastoral scenes. In Paris, he studied at the Academie Julien with Benjamin Constant and Jean Paul Laurens. There he met Joseph Sharp and Ernest Blumenschein, who shared his desire to paint the American Indian. Sharp, who had visited Taos, in 1893, told the two young artists about the beauties of the New Mexico village and its Indians. Returning to New York, Phillips and Blumenschein shared a studio and planned a sketching trip by horse and wagon, from Denver to Old Mexico. The journey ended in Taos, in 1898. Neither of the artists cared to go farther, and Phillips settled immediately, becoming the first of the pioneer Taos artists to establish permanent residence there. In 1899, he married Rose Martin, an eastern girl who was visiting her brother, Dr. T. P. Martin. It was at Dr. Martin's house in 1912 that the Taos Society of Artists was organized with Phillips, Blumenschein, Sharp, Irving Couse, Oscar Berninghaus, and Herbert Dunton, as the six charter members. Of Taos, Phillips said, "I believe it is the romance of this great pure-aired land that makes the most lasting impression on my mind and heart." He infused his paintings of the Indians with a romantic, lyrical quality. Among the many New Mexican artists, he probably achieved the closest relationship with the Indians, breaking through their natural reserve with patience and understanding. Through his intercession with the Government, the "sacred mountain" of the Taos Pueblo Indians was protected from prospectors, and when the great forest lands were made a national preserve, it was Bert Phillips who named them "the Kit Carson National Forest." In December 1970, the title to a vast preserve was returned to the Indians. Phillips died in San Diego, California, in 1956-- three years after the death of his wife.

Joni Falk is known for Landscape, flora still-life and miniature painting. A still life, portrait, and western landscape painter, Joni Falk is a resident of Phoenix, Arizona, and is known for her crisp, realistic, and lushly colored artwork. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, and her mother died when Joni was 2 1/2 years old, at which time her father's sister began caring for her, a brother and two sisters, one younger and one older. Her father and her Aunt Angie encouraged her artistic interest at an early age. She majored in English and business at Marquette College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and then worked for Continental Casualty in Chicago. There she met her husband, Bob, an insurance salesman. They moved to Helena, Montana, because of his accepting a job, and she worked for the telephone company. A move to Seattle saw her employed with an ad agency, and the couple also had a child. Bob's mother called them to Arizona to go into a bowling alley-cocktail lounge venture, which lasted only a short time. Eventually Joni began teaching crafts, and she and Bob opened an art supply store where she also taught art for thirteen years. She had a bout with ovarian cancer, and then she and her husband established a graphics, laser printing business in Scottsdale. She continues to take many classes at the Scottsdale Artists School and also teaches classes there. Many of her still lifes are of Indian pottery, an interest aroused some years ago by an article in "Arizona Highways." She travels frequently to Indian pueblos and reservations where she also gets subject matter for her landscapes.
Dave Powell Montana Buffalo Oil Painting
Lot #1091 (Sale Order 1091 of 1516)
Title is Buffalo Group. Oil on Board. 10" by 14" unframed, 17" by 21" framed. David (Dave) Powell (Born 1954) is active/lives in Montana. David Powell is known for Western figure, cowboy genre. Dave Powell is a native son of Montana, in a world of change and transition; few can say they have roots in a single geography that go back four generations. Dave's pedigree in art is just about as deep. He is the son of artists Ace Powell and Nancy McLaughlin Powell. That heritage leads back to the likes of Charlie Russell and Joe De Young, both famous for their abilities to "tell the story" through their art. His father, Ace Powell, was a prolific Western artist whose first childhood paint-box set was a gift from Charlie and Nancy Russell. Dave became a serious student of art in his mid-teens, and has been a professional artist most of his adult life. Over the years he has worked with Bob Scriver, Ned Jacob and Robert Lougheed. Dave will be the first to give thanks and credit to *CAA founder Joe Beeler for his longstanding friendship and guidance over many years. Because of his vast knowledge of the dress and habits of Western Indians, pioneers and cowboys, Dave is often called upon to provide costumes and props, and to give technical advice about authenticity for films and television. Productions he has worked on include Good Old Boys, Silverado, The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams and Lonesome Dove. His interests in historic reenactments and rides have taken him all across the West, and these travels have afforded Dave the opportunity for inspiration. While his film work utilizes his experience and observation, his sculptures, paintings and illustrations are born of his imagination. Dave and his family now reside in central Montana, just a short drive from Charlie Russell's home in Great Falls. There he is constantly inspired by the very buttes and prairies that Russell himself loved and painted.
Lloyd Mitchell Ranchers Gold Oil Painting
Lot #1092 (Sale Order 1092 of 1516)
Title is Rancher's Gold. Oil on Canvas. 16" by 20" unframed, 21" by 25" framed. Lloyd Jenning Mitchell (1909 - 1978) was active/lived in California, Arkansas. Lloyd Mitchell is known for Horse, western genre and portrait painting. Lloyd J. Mitchell was born December 21, 1909 in the Ozark Mountains near Van Buren, Arkansas at the edge of Indian Territory. Mitchell's life was a colorful one, with an early love of horses. His father was a horse trader/trainer and Lloyd began riding before he was tall enough to climb onto a horse himself. He used a rope to pull himself up to the saddle. His interest in art began early, too, and, as most boys of his age, he began drawing Indians, horses and cowboys. At the age of 16 he left home to work at ranches in Kansas, Wyoming, Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma. In the early thirties he traveled to California and found work as a movie extra in Westerns featuring Bob Steele, Bill Cody, Tom Mix, Ken Maynard, Iron Eyes Cody (who became a life-long friend) and others. During World War II, he served in the Navy aboard a minesweeper in the Pacific theater. Using the back of maps and charts, he filled an entire scrapbook with sketches and watercolors of battles and shipboard life. It includes a portrait of Henry Fonda, who posed for Mitchell while both were attending Quartermaster school in San Diego. After the war ended, he settled in Temple City, California with this wife, Donna. Although successful in business ventures, he found that painting was always foremost in his mind. In the late 1940's, he studied at the Chouinard Art Institute under noted Western artists, Henry Good and Will Foster. He later studied under Ejnar Hansen, Robert Frame, and Sam Hyde Harris. He was also influenced by his good friend, George Ford Morris. Mitchell was a member of the American Institute of Fine Arts, American Indian and Cowboy Art Society, The Westerners, Southland Art Association and the Los Angeles Corral. His painting "The Country Store" was purchased by Nancy Reagan for her home. Her husband, Ronald Reagan, picked it to hang in his office while he was Governor of California. In the 1970's, Mitchell's "Skinny Saloon" series of paintings became popular and were published as prints and greeting cards by the Leanin' Tree Ranch publishing company of Colorado. They still sell to this day. During his career, his work featuring horses, cowboys, Indians and western landscapes, won numerous cash awards, prizes and honors in prestigious shows. His work was featured in many magazines and news articles. As a noted humorist, he was a popular speaker and was in great demand as a judge and painting demonstrator. His work was represented in art galleries throughout southern California. Lloyd J. Mitchell passed away in July of 1978, in Sun City, California.
David Marty Calm Evening Oil Painting
Lot #1093 (Sale Order 1093 of 1516)
Title is Calm Evening. Oil on Canvas. 24" by 30" unframed, 31" by 37" framed. David Marty (Born 1951) is active/lives in Washington, California. David Marty is known for Luminous mountain landscape and skyscape painting, graphic design. One of the advantages of living in the Pacific Northwest is the spectacular scenery. I am often awestruck by the beauty, complexity and diversity that surround me. I see the fingerprints of a creative God everywhere, from the last glow of golden light on Mt. Rainier to the sparkle of a meandering meadow stream. This inspires me to attempt to capture the essence of a particular setting or a moment in time, and share that with others through my paintings. I like to use the effects of early morning or late afternoon lighting to bring out the more dramatic saturated colors and transform a seemingly ordinary setting. The challenge for me is to capture the patterns and contrasts between the warm light and cool shadows. I often try to isolate and focus in on scenes that others might normally overlook and give viewers a little different perspective. As long as I can remember I have wanted to be an artist. This has encompassed several different areas design, decorating, gardening, painting. My earlier landscapes were executed in a tight, almost photo-realistic manner. The turning point began after seeing the work of the French Impressionists in Paris. I was attracted by the brighter colors, freshness and spontaneity of their paintings. In recent years I have been drawn to the Russian and Early California Impressionists. While my work is still representational, I have loosened and softened my approach. By not defining every leaf or blade of grass, viewers have more opportunity to interact and use their imagination, making them a part of the creative process. David was born in northern California. He studied at Art Center College of Design, Biola University and the Scottsdale Artist´s School. Recently he has taken workshops with the Plein-Air Painters of America and Scott Christensen. David has spent the past 24 years in the Pacific Northwest. He and his wife, Jean reside in Edmonds and have five children, including two boys from Bulgaria.
Roy Kerswill Traders Passing Indian Camp Painting
Lot #1094 (Sale Order 1094 of 1516)
Title is Traders Passing Indian Camp. Oil on Canvas. 24" by 48" unframed. 30" by 54" framed. Some minor cracklure to canvas. Roy J W Kerswill (1925 - 2002) was active/lived in Wyoming, Montana. Roy Kerswill is known for Landscape and frontier narrative painting. Born in Devon, England, Roy was the eldest of four children. From an early age, his main interest was drawing and painting, which was recognized at an early age when he won a scholarship to the Bristol College of Art at age 11. Roy served three years in the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm and saw much of the world. To further his travel interests, Roy was one of a four-man party from the U.K. that traveled to Canada in 1948 to carry out a three year adventure of North America. In order to finance such travel, the four had to obtain casual employment along the way. Two of the foursome secured such financially rewarding employment that they made the decision to leave the party. Roy and Monty Alford, the latter a surveyor, continued their original objectives, reaching the Yukon and Alaska. It was during the second year, while surveying in the Yukon, that they made plans for the third and final year of their travels. This was a journey through the United States. Their diagonal crossing of the U.S., from northwest to southeast, was made by water because it was by canoe that North America was first explored, mostly by those in the employ of the Hudson's Bay Company and the Northwest Company in search of furs for the markets in England and Europe. They purchased an 18 foot canvas covered, cedar canoe, and on the 16th of March, 1950, put in on the upper reaches of the Columbia River where Roy served as bowman. They traveled the Columbia River across the U.S. border, down to Pasco, Washington, where they turned up the roaring Snake River towards Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Navigation of the Snake River was by far the most difficult part of their journey. It was a two month long fight against a wild river with rapid after rapid to negotiate. Historically speaking, it is most likely the only time the river had been navigated by a powered canoe against its fast and turbulent current. They pulled their canoe out of the water of the Snake at Idaho Falls and portaged across the Continental Divide using a 1930 Chevrolet to Casper, Wyoming, where they launched on to the North Platte River. It was in the course of that portage that they passed, or ran alongside such rivers as the Hoback and Clearwater. The river today would not be recognizable as the same one Roy and Monty navigated. They had to portage five hydropower dams compared with the 15 in existence today. They continued on to the Middle Loup, Loup, South Platte, Platte, Missouri, and finally on to the giant Mississippi, finishing up at Baton Rouge with a final destination in New Orleans. Their journey was not only documented in many newspapers along the way, but Monty also submitted articles that were published back home in England. As a result of the publicity, they found themselves being greeted and welcomed into many towns and homes along the way. Their journey took exactly eight months, terminating on November 16, 1950. It was during this journey that Roy became acutely aware of the experiences of the Pioneers, moving him deeply and subsequently becoming the subject of many of his paintings. The book he authored and illustrated, A Pictorial Story of the Oregon-California Trail was published in 1996, and was made possible by Harry Cornell, Chairman and CEO of Leggett & Platt, and his wife, Ann. The book is the result of research done over a span of six years, after traveling the entire Oregon-California Trail with his wife, Betty. Roy worked in both oil and watercolor mediums. Some of his first professional work was as a freelance commercial artist, and then as an advanced space concept artist for the Martin Marietta Corporation in Denver. He was best known for his paintings of the Tetons and Historical scenes depicting the settling of the West to include Native American Indians, Mountain Men and/or Pioneers. He also painted the many areas he resided in: Colorado, Arizona, California, New York, Montana, and Europe. He loved to write poetry, and tried his hand at sculpting with his one bronze titled Early Warning System. Roy participated in many art shows throughout his career, and was one of a handful of artists to be invited each year to the Wyoming Governor's Invitational Art Show, held at the Cheyenne Frontier Days - Old West Museum since its inception in 1981.

Condition: Scattered inpainting less than 5% of surface area, mostly in sky or open areas. Canvas was exposed to moisture at some point causing paint to lift in several areas, this has been professionally stabilized. Provenance: The Work of Philip Goodwin From the Collection of the Mamaroneck Public Library New York. The artist; T. Raymond Goodwin, the artist's brother; Mamaroneck Public Library, New York, acquired from the above, 1938. Philip Russell Goodwin (1881 - 1935) was active/lived in New York, Connecticut. Philip Goodwin is known for Animal, field-stream illustration. The release of one of the greatest and most endearing publications in American history, Call of the Wild, in July 1903 would have a profound effect on the career of Charles M. Russell, even though he had nothing to do with it. Who illustrated the book? Not Frederic Remington and not Carl Rungius. No, it was illustrated by a twenty-two year old wunderkind named Philip R. Goodwin who had just opened his New York City studio. Jack London’s novel Call of the Wild was an overnight sensation. The book earned him international acclaim, and royalties from his novels made him the highest paid author in America to date. With an impressive career ahead of him, which included illustrating African Game Trails (1909) by Theodore Roosevelt and hundreds of sporting art images—one of the most famous being the Winchester Horse and Rider (1919) logo—Goodwin would be one of the artists that greatly influenced Charles M. Russell for the rest of his career. Philip Russell Goodwin was born on September 16, 1881—not 1882 as often erroneously written—in Norwich, Connecticut. Early on he was recognized as a child prodigy attending the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design when he was only fourteen. He soon caught the eye of America’s most famous illustrator, Howard Pyle, who taught such greats as Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Frank Schoonover, W.H.D. Koerner, and Frank Stick. Pyle started the Brandywine School in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania where many of the great illustrators would study over the years. Goodwin was training there as a teenager ahead of N.C. Wyeth. Casper Whitney who took over the position of publisher and editor of Outing magazine in 1901 soon commissioned young Goodwin to paint a dozen illustrations for several articles. It was Goodwin who introduced Russell to Whitney, who immediately became a big supporter of the cowboy artist. Goodwin accepted an invitation by the Russells to visit them at Bull Head Lodge in Glacier National Park in Montana in the summer of 1907. By that time the young New Yorker had illustrated a dozen books—including the Call of the Wild; dozens of magazine articles; three covers of the great magazine of the day, The Saturday Evening Post; and sporting advertisements for Harrington and Richardson Arms Company; Kemper Thomas Company; Marble Arms and Manufacturing Company; Marlin Firearms Co.; Peters Cartridge Company; Savage-Stevens; and Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Amazingly, he was only twenty-five years old. The two artists painted outdoors together for the first time. Lacking formal training, Russell learned much from his younger counterpart as evidenced by masterpieces he generated during the next few years. By the time Goodwin returned in 1910, he had illustrated African Game Trails (1909) by the most famous and popular man in the world, Theodore Roosevelt who called on the best sporting artist in America known for his ability to capture arrested motion. Goodwin would never visit Montana again, although the artists corresponded on occasion. In 1911 Goodwin spent six weeks in the Canadian Rockies with Carl Rungius who was generally regarded as the most accomplished big game painter. Like Goodwin, Rungius relied on sketches and field photography to lend detail to paintings completed back in the studio. In August 1911 Rungius invited Goodwin to join him and guide Jimmy Simpson on a hunting and sketching trip. As was the case with Russell, Rungius’s paintings were transformed by his time with Goodwin. National advertising flourished after the war during the roaring twenties as Americans confidently acquired material possessions and had the leisure time to use them. Advertising men answered new desires by establishing brand names that delicately encouraged dissatisfaction with possessions seemingly outmoded but not necessarily worn out. It was the beginning of a golden period for sporting illustration that kept Goodwin busy for years. His work landed on calendars, envelopes, posters, prints, magazine covers, die cut counter top displays, among many other items. But happy days were over in the 1930s as the Great Depression ravaged almost every American home. In 1912 Goodwin had relocated to Mamaroneck, New York. Eight years later, he moved to another home with a studio located behind it.

There he spent much of his time at the art museums - he was intrigued with the work and studied it as much as he could. After five months of travel, he returned to the States and acquired a scholarship to study art at the University of Denver.

Warren Eliphalet Rollins (1861 - 1962) was active/lived in New Mexico, California, Arizona, Nevada. Warren Rollins is known for Desert landscape and Indian portrait and genre painting. For many years Warren Eliphalet Rollins was known as the "Dean of the Santa Fe art colony." He was the first artist to have a formal exhibition there; it was held in 1906 in the old Palace of the Governors. He was a close friend of Carlos Vierra, Gerald Cassidy, Kenneth Chapman, Sheldon Parsons and most of the other famous artists who assembled in the New Mexican capital during the first half of this century. Born in Carson City, Nevada, Rollins was raised in California and attended the San Francisco School of Design where he studied under Virgil Williams. At the completion of his studies, he was awarded the Avery Gold Medal and made Assistant Director of the school. Following his marriage in 1887, he and his wife settled in San Diego, and it was during this period that Rollins became interested in the Indian as subject matter. In search of material, Rollins, his wife, and their two daughters, Ramona and Ruth, traveled through every Western state from the Mexican to the Canadian borders. While in Montana, Rollins painted a portrait of Calamity Jane. The sitting took place in a saloon, and while Rollins drew, Calamity drank, wept and poured out the story of her life to him. The portrait was lost in a fire at The Billings Club. In the early 1900s, Rollins spent a year in Arizona painting the Hopi, Navajo and Zuni Indians; these studies became very popular. His constant search for new subject matter took him to Taos, where he had a studio near his friend Irving Couse; to Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico, sketching and painting its ancient ruins; and to the Grand Canyon where he had a studio near El Tovar. His dramatic Canyon painting was purchased by the Santa Fe Railroad. Rollins was the first president of the Santa Fe Art Club, and active in the Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe, which has an extensive collection of his work, including "Grief," one of his most famous paintings. He did murals for the Museum, the post office and Harvey House in Gallup, and triptychs depicting Zuni life for Bishop's Lodge, Santa Fe.

Private Collection Santa Fe New Mexico, John Fillmore Gallery Santa Fe New Mexico. Oscar Edmund Berninghaus (1874 - 1952) was active/lived in New Mexico, Missouri, Kansas. Oscar Berninghaus is known for Landscape and genre painting, illustration. A founder in 1898 of the Taos Society of Artists, Oscar Berninghaus excelled at drawing animals and figures in contemporary garb in Southwestern landscapes. Many of his early paintings were Impressionistic, "suffused with color and light". (Gerdts 254) He was born in St. Louis, Missouri and developed an interest in art through his family's lithography business. He attended night classes at the St. Louis School of Fine Art. In 1898, he was on an illustration assignment for "McClure's" magazine, which took him for the first of many times into New Mexico and Arizona. He had heard of the special beauty of Taos and there met Bert Geer Phillips, who was already a resident, and Phillips invited him to return. This visit began a tradition of spending the winter months in St. Louis and the summers in Taos. He remained active in both communities, and for many years designed the costumes and floats for the Veiled Prophet parade, a famous annual event in St. Louis. He also did a series of western scenes commissioned by the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association to promote a manly, ruggedness theme in their products and to enhance their image as good Americans, an image that was being attacked by suffragettes. In this capacity and without visiting the area, Berninghaus did a painting titled "Old Faithful, Yellowstone" in 1914, which was used as a calendar illustration in the series. Berninghaus was a sketch artist for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad to depict landscape of Colorado and New Mexico. In 1912, he joined the founding members of the Taos Society of Artists, whose goal was to promote sales of their work in Taos and other markets. In 1919, he bought an old adobe house near Taos overlooking the town and in 1925 settled there permanently. He did some painting in surrounding states including Phoenix, Arizona in 1931, where he painted a five lunette mural at the Post Office building of the opening of the west. His style was one of short, quick brush strokes, which gave his work a unique texture. Early in his career, he painted on site, but later from memory, which was described as being extremely accurate. One of the reasons he was committed to the Taos Art Colony was that he believed it was a distinctly American art, something definitive of subject matter unique to this country. He depicted Indians in a realistic, unromaticized way, going about their lives as they actually did in twentieth-century New Mexico.
Frank Schoonover Oil on Board Painting
Lot #1104 (Sale Order 1104 of 1516)
Title is Montana Forest. Oil on Board. 5 3/4" by 8 1/2". Provenance: Private Collection Santa Fe New Mexico, John Fillmore Gallery Santa Fe New Mexico. Frank Earle Schoonover (1877 - 1972) was active/lived in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Frank Schoonover is known for Illustration-Indians and mountain men. Born in Oxford, New Jersey, an industrial town, Frank Schoonover earned a reputation as a skilled illustrator and as a portrait, figure and landscape painter of lively western scenes. He was also a teacher from his studio and from the John Herron Art Institute. Schoonover grew up spending his summers in the Pocono Mountains, which gave him "an affinity for wilderness scenes". (Zellman 744) Howard Pyle, with whom he studied at the Drexel Institute, in Wilmington and at Chadd's Ford, was the biggest influence on Schoonover and emphasized the importance of immersing himself in the subject matter he was going to depict. Schoonover studied for nine years at the Model School in Trenton, and in 1896 entered the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia. He opened a studio close to Pyle's in Wilmington, Delaware, and received his first western illustration assignment in 1899. In order to prepare himself for wilderness travel, he went into Hudson Bay country in 1903 and traveled by dog team and snowshoes. He returned in 1911 and over the years did numerous illustrations of that part of the country.. He also traveled in the Bayou country of Mississippi and wrote a book of these experiences: "Lafitte, the Pirate of the Gulf". Frank Schoonover made his first trip to the West in 1906, visiting Denver, and then took a short trip to Europe. In 1914, he settled in Pike County, Pennsylvania and for a decade had a thriving career as a magazine and book illustrator including commissions for "Treasure Island," "Robinson Crusoe," and "The Swiss Family Robinson." During that time, it is thought that his work reached about five-million readers a month. However, he determined in the mid-1930s that he could not keep up that pace, and he turned to landscape and portrait painting in which he injected his love of drama that characterized his illustration. Often his painting was dominated by an action-packed figure such as an Indian astride a bucking horse. In 1942, he founded his own art school. A Frank E. Schoonover Catalogue Raisonne is being compiled by the Frank E. Schoonover Fund. Publication is scheduled for November 2008.

Sheryl Bodily is known for Western frontier scene painting, wildlife, horses. A western wildlife and landscape artist, Sheryl Bodily is a resident of Montana. He was the winner of the 1986 Ellensburg Washington Rodeo Association Poster Award, and recently received Best of Show/Flatwork at the Florence Festival Art Auction in Florence, Montana. Favorite subjects rendered in oil and pencil include Indian scenes with children, old cabins, wagon trains and wildlife. He is widely exhibited in Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico, Sedona, Arizona and Idaho. In the fall of 1970, an art auction was held through the Pacific Northwest Indian Center in Spokane, Washington. To that auction a young man named Sheryl Bodily, from Columbia Falls, Montana, brought a few of his oil paintings. A good deal of excitement was caused by the fact that Mr. Bodily's paintings were sold at auction for twice their listed value. A few months later the performance was repeated at another art auction in Great Falls, Montana, and suddenly an artist who had been painting professionally for 12 years, two of them full time, was discovered. Suddenly a man who had had to work hard to sell his work, found himself with more advance commissions than he could readily complete. Western artist Sheryl Bodily was born in Boise, Idaho, on April 20, 1936, the second oldest in a family with one brother and four sisters. Mr. Bodily's father was a farmer in the Boise Valley, and he remembers six moves to different farms in that region. He described his father as the breadwinner and his mother as the counselor and teacher in his early years. "I remember milking eight to fifteen cows which was always my chore at home, but my real interest at that time was the hobby of collecting arrowheads and other artifacts in Rocky Canyon with my younger brother near Meridian, Idaho." His enthusiastic interest in Indian people and their contemporary culture has continued to grow over the years and has had a tremendous influence on his art. Mr. Bodily first remembers drawing in the first grade of the Meridian Idaho Grade School, and being told at that time by his teacher that someday he would become an artist. The artist laughingly suggested that, "it took nearly thirty years to prove her right." Mr. Bodily began oil painting at 14, and oil has been his primary medium since that time. He has also completed a number of works in pen and ink, but at present works almost entirely in oils. "I would like to do more pen and inks, but I´m so busy now with oils that I really can't find the time." After completing high school, Mr. Bodily studied commercial art for two years at Brigham Young University in Utah. He found during those two years that commercial art held little interest for him as a lifetime pursuit and at the end of two years he accepted a call to serve a two and one half year mission for his church to the Spanish speaking peoples of Texas and New Mexico. During this period, and shortly afterward, he traveled extensively in the southwest and expanded his interest in contemporary and historical Indian culture to include those of the southwest. Those years influenced his art and this influence can occasionally be noted in the rich colors used in the countryside depicted in some of his works.

David Marty Autumn Reflections Oil Painting
Lot #1118 (Sale Order 1118 of 1516)
Title is Autumn Reflections. Oil on Canvas. 24" by 25" unframed, 31" by 33" framed. David Marty (Born 1951) is active/lives in Washington, California. David Marty is known for Luminous mountain landscape and skyscape painting, graphic design. One of the advantages of living in the Pacific Northwest is the spectacular scenery. I am often awestruck by the beauty, complexity and diversity that surround me. I see the fingerprints of a creative God everywhere, from the last glow of golden light on Mt. Rainier to the sparkle of a meandering meadow stream. This inspires me to attempt to capture the essence of a particular setting or a moment in time, and share that with others through my paintings. I like to use the effects of early morning or late afternoon lighting to bring out the more dramatic saturated colors and transform a seemingly ordinary setting. The challenge for me is to capture the patterns and contrasts between the warm light and cool shadows. I often try to isolate and focus in on scenes that others might normally overlook and give viewers a little different perspective. As long as I can remember I have wanted to be an artist. This has encompassed several different areas design, decorating, gardening, painting. My earlier landscapes were executed in a tight, almost photo-realistic manner. The turning point began after seeing the work of the French Impressionists in Paris. I was attracted by the brighter colors, freshness and spontaneity of their paintings. In recent years I have been drawn to the Russian and Early California Impressionists. While my work is still representational, I have loosened and softened my approach. By not defining every leaf or blade of grass, viewers have more opportunity to interact and use their imagination, making them a part of the creative process. David was born in northern California.

Vladan Stiha Oil on Canvas Indian Painting
Lot #1119 (Sale Order 1119 of 1516)
Title is Farewell. Oil on Canvas. 20" by 24" unframed, 28 1/2" by 32 1/2" framed. Vladan Stiha (1908 - 1992) was active/lived in New Mexico / Yugoslavia (former), Brazil. Vladan Stiha is known for Western landscapes, cowboys, Native American figure. Vladan Stiha, a painter of Western American landscapes, Indians and cowboys, began his long, colorful life in Belgrade, Yugoslavia on October 18, 1908. His life would end three continents and eighty-four years later on April 25, 1992, at the end of the old Santa Fe Trail in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Born into a family of artists, Stiha learned to draw and paint from his father. He began formal art education in Belgrade, then had the opportunity to study at The Academy of Arts in Vienna with Professor Karl Faringer, and later with Professor Carlo Saverri at the Academy of Art in Rome. Stiha spent a total of twenty years in South America after Yugoslavia was invaded during World War II. Since their first choice of emigration, the United States, had its quota filled, Stiha and his wife Elena chose Buenos Aires as a first refuge. An impressionistic style emerged for Stiha during this period, inspired by his freedom and the colorful backgrounds of the Pampas and Gauchos, resulting in a vibrant expression of his individuality on his canvas. Stiha's spirit was always searching, and after ten years in Argentina his friends in Brazil enticed him to relocate to Sao Paulo. The dramatic beaches and primitive marketplaces in Bahia captured Stiha's heart and he fell in love with the colorful peasants who filled his canvases with the rich colors of his pastel palette. He was then a mature artist, confident in his own style and technique, and it was during this period that he began experimenting with Cubism. Stiha's studio and art school in Brazil was located across the street from the American Embassy. His reputation as a celebrated European and South American artist attracted the attention of the United States through the American Consulate, and the Stihas were offered citizenship. Their long awaited dream of immigrating to the United States came true when Stiha was 62 years of age and Elena was 66. After a short stay on the West Coast, they found their way to New Mexico, opening the Stiha Gallery at the historic La Fonda Hotel in 1971. During their first year in the Southwest, the Stihas traveled from reservation to reservation, painting traditional Indian pageants and their reenactments of the arrival of settlers in covered wagons. These ceremonies were held in the spirit of healing the old wounds by "walking in the white man's shoes." Stiha's ability as a colorist and portrait painter earned him a place in the collections of museums like the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.; Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe; Navajo Ceremonial Museum; Museum of the Southwest, Midland, Texas; Pioneer Museum, Colorado Springs, Colorado; Oklahoma Museum of Art, Red Ridges, Oklahoma; and Fort Huachuca Historic Museum in Arizona.
Roy (RC) Purcell Texas Oil Derrick Painting
Lot #1120 (Sale Order 1120 of 1516)
Oil on Canvas. 28" by 32" framed. Roy (R.C.) Purcell (Born 1936) is active/lives in Nevada, Utah. Roy Purcell is known for Intaglio prints, etchings, watercolor painting and drawing, landscape and history. Roy ( R C ) Purcell is the constant journeyer, seeking from birth and time immemorial to explore and understand his journey as it reflects our own. Having early opened the door by word and image into the depths of his subconscious, he taps into its’ endless reserve of the collective memory of the world, its’ history, beauty and destiny. He grew up a shy oversensitive boy in a rural community of central Utah’s Wasatch Range, where the mountains cradled him and the vastness of the western desert beckoned his spirit. Drawn into that desert as a young man, the mystic qualities of his nature were ignited. After completing military, religious and educational endeavors, he sought solitude where he learned to listen to his inner creative voice. His search for meaning led him into history, mythology and psychology and the honing of his creative skills in writing and fine art. He became well known for poignant watercolors and etchings of western history and landscapes. His interest in printmaking led him into worldwide projects culminating in the production of the (then) world’s largest intaglio prints. He then retreated from public life to focus on personal and spiritual growth and the development and mastery of various painting styles and techniques. Fortunately for the rest of us his driving need to express what he perceives has left a legacy of beauty and understanding marking him as a pertinent voice for our times. His work brings us to a clearer vision of the continuum of our past, present and future. From his pen and his brush come a multi-dimensional statement spoken with the sensitivity and beauty rarely seen in the annals of creativity.

A prominent Canadian Inuit carver, sculptor, and textile artist, Miriam Marealik Qiyuk (aka: Mariam Nanurluk Qiyuk) (disc number* E2-387) was born in the "Back River Area" northwest of Qamani'tuaq (Baker Lake, Northwest Territories) in what is now Nunavut. In about 1958 she moved to Baker Lake with her family and lived there for the rest of her life. Her sculptures and wall hangings were exhibited widely in Canada and the U.S.A. and they are in many important public collections including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Winnipeg Art Gallery*; and, the National Gallery of Canada. She began her art career in 1960 making wall hangings out of wool, felt, and embroidery floss; but, in 1980, due to a wool allergy, she switched to carving in stone, occasionally accessorizing the works with antler, sinew or wood. Her subjects included groups of figures, faces, family, Inuit legends, human/animal transformation, animals, birds, fantasy, whimsy and Inuit genre. Her style is best described as Inuit Art*. Her askART record has dozens of excellent illustrations of her work. She would be classed as self-taught because our sources make no mention of her art education; but, considering that her mother, Jessie Oonark (see askART), was one of Canada’s most important Inuit artists and the matriarch of large family of artists it is likely that Qiyuk was never far from the influence of talented artists and art dealers.

He was the winner of the 1986 Ellensburg Washington Rodeo Association Poster Award, and recently received Best of Show/Flatwork at the Florence Festival Art Auction in Florence, Montana. Favorite subjects rendered in oil and pencil include Indian scenes with children, old cabins, wagon trains and wildlife. He is widely exhibited in Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico, Sedona, Arizona and Idaho. In the fall of 1970, an art auction was held through the Pacific Northwest Indian Center in Spokane, Washington. To that auction a young man named Sheryl Bodily, from Columbia Falls, Montana, brought a few of his oil paintings. A good deal of excitement was caused by the fact that Mr. Bodily's paintings were sold at auction for twice their listed value. A few months later the performance was repeated at another art auction in Great Falls, Montana, and suddenly an artist who had been painting professionally for 12 years, two of them full time, was discovered. Suddenly a man who had had to work hard to sell his work, found himself with more advance commissions than he could readily complete. Western artist Sheryl Bodily was born in Boise, Idaho, on April 20, 1936, the second oldest in a family with one brother and four sisters. Mr. Bodily's father was a farmer in the Boise Valley, and he remembers six moves to different farms in that region. He described his father as the breadwinner and his mother as the counselor and teacher in his early years. "I remember milking eight to fifteen cows which was always my chore at home, but my real interest at that time was the hobby of collecting arrowheads and other artifacts in Rocky Canyon with my younger brother near Meridian, Idaho." His enthusiastic interest in Indian people and their contemporary culture has continued to grow over the years and has had a tremendous influence on his art. Mr. Bodily first remembers drawing in the first grade of the Meridian Idaho Grade School, and being told at that time by his teacher that someday he would become an artist. The artist laughingly suggested that, "it took nearly thirty years to prove her right." Mr. Bodily began oil painting at 14, and oil has been his primary medium since that time. He has also completed a number of works in pen and ink, but at present works almost entirely in oils. "I would like to do more pen and inks, but I´m so busy now with oils that I really can't find the time." After completing high school, Mr. Bodily studied commercial art for two years at Brigham Young University in Utah. He found during those two years that commercial art held little interest for him as a lifetime pursuit and at the end of two years he accepted a call to serve a two and one half year mission for his church to the Spanish speaking peoples of Texas and New Mexico. During this period, and shortly afterward, he traveled extensively in the southwest and expanded his interest in contemporary and historical Indian culture to include those of the southwest. Those years influenced his art and this influence can occasionally be noted in the rich colors used in the countryside depicted in some of his works.

Dave Powell Noon Time at the Pantheon Oil Painting

Title is Noon Time at the Pantheon. Oil on board. 8" by 12" unframed, 11 1/2" by 15 1/2" framed. David (Dave) Powell (Born 1954) is active/lives in Montana. David Powell is known for Western figure, cowboy genre. Dave Powell is a native son of Montana, in a world of change and transition; few can say they have roots in a single geography that go back four generations. Dave's pedigree in art is just about as deep. He is the son of artists Ace Powell and Nancy McLaughlin Powell. That heritage leads back to the likes of Charlie Russell and Joe De Young, both famous for their abilities to "tell the story" through their art. His father, Ace Powell, was a prolific Western artist whose first childhood paint-box set was a gift from Charlie and Nancy Russell. Dave became a serious student of art in his mid-teens, and has been a professional artist most of his adult life. Over the years he has worked with Bob Scriver, Ned Jacob and Robert Lougheed. Dave will be the first to give thanks and credit to *CAA founder Joe Beeler for his longstanding friendship and guidance over many years. Because of his vast knowledge of the dress and habits of Western Indians, pioneers and cowboys, Dave is often called upon to provide costumes and props, and to give technical advice about authenticity for films and television. Productions he has worked on include Good Old Boys, Silverado, The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams and Lonesome Dove. His interests in historic reenactments and rides have taken him all across the West, and these travels have afforded Dave the opportunity for inspiration. While his film work utilizes his experience and observation, his sculptures, paintings and illustrations are born of his imagination. Dave and his family now reside in central Montana, just a short drive from Charlie Russell's home in Great Falls. There he is constantly inspired by the very buttes and prairies that Russell himself loved and painted.

Ted Long is known for Western genre and figure, sculpture and drawings. Ted Long was born on February 5, 1932 in North Platte, Nebraska. He attended North Platte High School and received numerous art internships, but has had no formal art training. Most of his work covers 1800 Western U.S. culture; his paintings and sculptures of the American West are extremely detailed and heavily researched. Long still resides in North Platte in a historic, century old log cabin but his work is known in New Mexico, Germany, Arizona, Wyoming, and Minnesota. Some collectors of his work include John Wayne, George Montgomery, Henry Fonda, Ken Curtis, Amanda Blake, and Ben Johnson. In the heart of America lives Ted Long. Ted is dedicated entirely to the fascinating legacy of the old west, so much that his North Platte, Nebraska, studio is situated in a century-old log cabin on a ranch his great-grandfather homestead in the 1800's. Within sight of his home is the historic plains where the Sioux, Cheyenne and Pawnee Indian tribes followed great herds of buffalo, and where cattle stampedes, battles between cavalry and Indians, and the continuous migration of settlers west was commonplace. Inspired by the rustic and beautiful surroundings of his homeland, Long's works have an exciting touch of stark realism that puts his artistry in a class by itself. Western hospitality was the order of the day when President Ronald Reagan had lunch at the Long Ranch in 1987. Long presented the President with "The Last Farewell", a bronze of Buffalo Bill Cody. In 1978 Long was commissioned by the Nebraska State Historical Society to do a life-sized bronze bust of Ponca Chief Standing Bear. In 1979, he received the Old West Trails Foundation Art Award. In June of 1991, Long's bronze, When Nature Kept the Balance, was placed in the permanent collection of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming. Ted works in oil and sculpture. His love and involvement with the outdoors is felt in each of his paintings and bronzes. He has immersed himself in the stories of the west, from Buffalo Bill Cody to Chief Standing Bear. And he, like the chroniclers of those early days, has quite a story to tell.

While becoming skilled at painting and drawing there, he often traveled the back roads of the Navajo, Hopi, and Apache reservations and explored Arizona's rural mining and ranching communities in order to gather impressions of the West. In 1970 Knauf transferred to the University of California, Irvine and studied under contemporary Avante Garde artists Tony DeLap, Billy Al Benston, Bruce Nauman, Robert Irwin, Vija Clemens and Ed Moses. He earned his Bachelors Degree in painting and spent his post graduate year exploring the art and architecture of Mexico, Europe, and North Africa. Before he committed to painting full-time, Knauf applied his artistic abilities in many professions including resterauntuer, product designer, and landscape architect. His current work - paintings of Native Americans and Cowboys - combines original technique, powerful figures and illusive backdrops. It is with a very contemporary style that he captures images of the "Old West." His unusual technique includes painting on hollow core doors after having cut them to size and finished their edges. He covers this wooden surface in alternate layers of paints and glazes thereby creating a glassy finish. Knauf is a founding member of The Other Side of the West, a distinguished group of contemporary Southwestern artists currently exhibiting paintings at museums around the country. He has been the cover artist for Southwest Art and U.S. Art Gallery and his work has been seen in numerous publications.

Jack Koonce was raised in the sagebrush hills and craggy mountain peaks of Central Idaho, where he spent a childhood rambling through the vast rugged wilderness that was his backyard. Fishing, hunting, hiking, backpacking, skiing and sketching all combined to forge a deep and elemental bond with nature, and his canvases are evidence of that profound connection. Koonce recalls of his initial trip to the high alpine backcountry: "The first time I made it to high altitude in summer,I was hooked. Stunted trees and deep, green, grass against snow-white granite. Flowers everywhere..It was a masterwork." Cold, snowy winters worked their magic too. For back in the day, when the snows fell, Idaho mountain kids took to the slopes and skied. Long winters spent in the practice of ski racing - a difficult and somewhat obscure discipline - did much to forge Koonce's character, and painting style. In his work, he clearly draws upon the fearlessness, self-reliance, perseverance and, maybe especially, sheer awe, which the mountains demand of those who travel there. They're excellent teachers. "Skiing is about the mastery of craft as a way to discover beauty… and avoid disaster. That same mastery is required to find truth in the expression of painting," says Koonce. A lifetime of exploring the natural world also taught him to trust his instincts, he says, giving him "the courage to launch myself in a direction with utter abandon. It is this confidence in the unknown that I find myself turning to, in my work, time and time again." Living today on the Eastern edge of Idaho's Smoky Mountains, Koonce still finds spiritual and artistic inspiration in his rugged backyard. "Sometimes now I see wildlife, and I'll paint them where and how they stand, but more appealing to my sensibilities is to compile, from years of observation, the scene, the gestures, the mood..bringing them together into an imaginative whole. This, I think, makes my approach different from many wildlife artists who use photographs in a more literal manner. My approach is conceptual in its construction." It's an approach to life, and now his life's work, that has left him regretless. "It offers the endless excitement of perpetual discovery." Jack Koonce studied and taught art and biology at the highschool and college level prior to embarking upon a fulltime career as an artist. He is currently a signature member of the "Society of Animal Artists", New York, the "Worlwide Nature Artists Group and the "Oil Painters of America", Chicago. He has received several awards and is currently on a national museum tour representing the Society of Animal Artists.

Jennifer Johnson is known for Wildlife plein-air painting, photography, graphic design. ABOUT JENNIFER JOHNSON "When I’m painting on location, usually in the mountains, I can take a deep breath and listen to the environment around me. I can see the crispness of the colors, the softness or hard edges of mountain peaks, or changes of light and shadows. I paint what I see but feel it is more than just painting, I’m trying to capture the moment and why I was drawn to it." Jennifer was born in Portland, OR and moved to Colorado as a young child. She spent her childhood summers camping and hiking all over the United States and the National Parks with her family. It was Jennifer’s father, a plant pathologist with the US government, who first got Jennifer hooked on nature and landscapes. Jennifer received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Kansas in 1996. She was directed into the Graphic Design field and put down the canvas and paint for computers. After college, her first job was a graphic designer for a clothing company where she designed promotional materials, directed photoshoots, and designed catalogs. Her career took a different direction in 1999 when she quit her job and took a leap of faith to start her own faux painting business. She applied and painted custom wall finishes in private homes, including Italian inspired plasters and murals. To remain on the cutting edge of the faux painting market, Jennifer studied in Italy with a master faux finisher and muralist. Jennifer’s work was featured in several Kansas City home and garden magazines. Jennifer was the most sought-after faux finisher in Kansas City. The experience in Italy sparked her desire to paint landscapes. In 2005, Jennifer relocated to Colorado and started a family. Jennifer resides in Lakewood, CO with their three boys Grant, Sean, and Mark. She has been balancing being a mother and a landscape/wildlife painter for the last 20 years. She enjoys Plein air painting and the challenge of capturing an ever-changing and nuanced scene. Jennifer describes her painting style as a combination of realism and impressionism focusing on her love for wildlife and the National Parks. She has numerous awards including Best of Show, Artist Choice, and Jury’s Choice along with being featured in over 20 national art publications. Jennifer has work displayed in permanent collection including the Famous Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole Wyoming and the historic Wort Hotel.

Larry Pirnie Montana Oil on Board Painting
Lot #1147 (Sale Order 1147 of 1516)
Title is Field Sketch. Oil on Board. 16 1/4" by 20 1/4" framed. Larry Pirnie (Born 1940) is active/lives in Montana, Iowa. Larry Pirnie is known for Cowboy genre-horses, wood relief. Born in Waterloo, Iowa and growing up on a farm near Bettendorf, Iowa, Larry Pirnie became a sculptor and painter of abstract, highly colorful horses and cowboy figures. His acrylic paintings are loose images in bright hues of western scenes and in size, quite often are large-scale horizontal or vertical, and give in-your-face impressions such as horses running across a room. Pirnie says that illustrator Fred Harmon's comics, "Red Rider", have been his inspiration, and this interest has led him to collecting many Harmon-created comic books. With his artwork, Pirnie has tried to bridge the gap between fantasy and reality, a goal formulated somewhat by seeing photographs of Harmon working on his ranch or creating cartoons at his drawing table. In other words, he was a man grounded in reality creating action comics that stirred the imaginations of kids such as the young Pirney. Pirnie also grew up working along side his father and his uncles, and the family was generally supportive of his interest in painting because there was already an artist in the family. His father's, father---Pirnie's Swedish paternal grandfather--- was a leisure-time painter. Pirnie's high-school teacher, Don Posten, encouraged him all four years of school attendance to nurture his art talents. However, he was much diverted by his interest in sports and attended a small liberal arts midwestern college on football and basketball scholarships. But he was sidelined by a knee injury, which led him back to his art. A big encouragement was a visit with Norman Rockwell, whom he met as the next door neighbor of his dorm roommate, Steve Welch, when Pirnie was a guest at the Welch home in New York state. Rockwell advised Pirnie that he needed more than talent for gaining public recognition as an artist and to do the following: 1) to enroll in a good school that offers a degree because door opening is not accomplished as easily by a certificate 2) to hang around successful artists as well as other professionals who are passionate about their careers 3) to avoid esoteric art circles, that is, people who just talked amongst themselves and do not reach beyond their group and 4) to go to New York and take advantage of the museums---some of the best education available. Heeding this advice, Pirnie earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. After that, he married a home-town girl and then had a fifteen year career in commercial art. He liked the work but wanted something more. In 1978, he divorced and moved alone to a cabin with no phone in Big Fork, Montana. (He showered at a nearby motel). He spent two years sorting out his options and experimenting with materials and subjects until he found his own vision. In 1980, he married his second wife, Irene, whom he had met in Kalispell, and who became his agent and representative. She was a widow with five children. In 1986, he began working in the style that became his signature, and "since then he has used brushes, squeeze bottles, paper, wood, cutouts, . . .and never fails to listen to the voice of the kid within." (18) He paints almost exclusively in acrylic on canvas.
Sheryl Bodily Montana Homestead Oil Painting
Lot #1148 (Sale Order 1148 of 1516)
Oil on Canvas. 11" by 14" unframed. 17 1/4" by 20 3/8" framed. Sheryl L. Bodily (Born 1936) is active/lives in Montana, Idaho. Sheryl Bodily is known for Western frontier scene painting, wildlife, horses. A western wildlife and landscape artist, Sheryl Bodily is a resident of Montana. He was the winner of the 1986 Ellensburg Washington Rodeo Association Poster Award, and recently received Best of Show/Flatwork at the Florence Festival Art Auction in Florence, Montana. Favorite subjects rendered in oil and pencil include Indian scenes with children, old cabins, wagon trains and wildlife. He is widely exhibited in Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico, Sedona, Arizona and Idaho. In the fall of 1970, an art auction was held through the Pacific Northwest Indian Center in Spokane, Washington. To that auction a young man named Sheryl Bodily, from Columbia Falls, Montana, brought a few of his oil paintings. A good deal of excitement was caused by the fact that Mr. Bodily's paintings were sold at auction for twice their listed value. A few months later the performance was repeated at another art auction in Great Falls, Montana, and suddenly an artist who had been painting professionally for 12 years, two of them full time, was discovered. Suddenly a man who had had to work hard to sell his work, found himself with more advance commissions than he could readily complete. Western artist Sheryl Bodily was born in Boise, Idaho, on April 20, 1936, the second oldest in a family with one brother and four sisters. Mr. Bodily's father was a farmer in the Boise Valley, and he remembers six moves to different farms in that region. He described his father as the breadwinner and his mother as the counselor and teacher in his early years. "I remember milking eight to fifteen cows which was always my chore at home, but my real interest at that time was the hobby of collecting arrowheads and other artifacts in Rocky Canyon with my younger brother near Meridian, Idaho." His enthusiastic interest in Indian people and their contemporary culture has continued to grow over the years and has had a tremendous influence on his art. Mr. Bodily first remembers drawing in the first grade of the Meridian Idaho Grade School, and being told at that time by his teacher that someday he would become an artist. The artist laughingly suggested that, "it took nearly thirty years to prove her right." Mr. Bodily began oil painting at 14, and oil has been his primary medium since that time. He has also completed a number of works in pen and ink, but at present works almost entirely in oils. "I would like to do more pen and inks, but I´m so busy now with oils that I really can't find the time." After completing high school, Mr. Bodily studied commercial art for two years at Brigham Young University in Utah. He found during those two years that commercial art held little interest for him as a lifetime pursuit and at the end of two years he accepted a call to serve a two and one half year mission for his church to the Spanish speaking peoples of Texas and New Mexico. During this period, and shortly afterward, he traveled extensively in the southwest and expanded his interest in contemporary and historical Indian culture to include those of the southwest. Those years influenced his art and this influence can occasionally be noted in the rich colors used in the countryside depicted in some of his works.

Uvaldo was the sheriff of Taos Pueblo from 1952-1954. Maurice Braun (1877 - 1941) was active/lived in California, New York / Hungary. Maurice Braun is known for Landscape, portrait and-still life painting. An established California plein-air painter in the Impressionist style, Maurice Braun painted landscapes reflecting moods of nature and his skill of showing the varying effects of light put San Diego into the national art scene. He was born in Nagy Bittse, Hungary, and immigrated to New York City in 1881 when he was four years old. He showed early art talent and interest and as a youngster, copying works of art at the Metropolitan Museum. From 1897 to 1902, he studied at the Academy of Design and then for one year with William Merritt Chase at the Chase School, which became the New York School. In 1902, he went to Europe, painting in Austria, Germany, and Hungary. He became a noted portrait and figure painter in New York but felt confined by subject matter. Then in 1910, attracted to the California landscape as a subject for his painting, he moved to San Diego and from his studio on Point Loma painted the French Impressionist influenced landscapes for which he became known. He was initially drawn to California because of an active Theosophical Society of which he had been a member since college and which espoused the merging of truths common to all religions. A special part of that religion was light as metaphor, a technique that he perfected in his painting. In 1912, he founded the San Diego Academy of Art and was its director for many years, although he returned to the East in 1921 and established studios in New York City, Silvermine, and Old Lyme, Connecticut. Several years later he returned to San Diego but from 1924 to 1929, continued to spend part of each year in the East. In 1929, he became one of the founders of the Contemporary Artists of San Diego, and he was also active in art circles in San Francisco and Los Angeles and exhibited with the California Art Club. He traveled and painted in the Southwest including the Grand Canyon.
Thomas Hill Yosemite Valley Oil on Canvas Painting

Title is Yosemite Valley. Painting has had a hard life. It is in need of conservation. Large missing swatch of canvas is included as shown. It is Being Sold as-is, in the condition photographed. 34 1/2" by 46 1/2" framed. Thomas Hill (1829 - 1908) was active/lived in California, Massachusetts. Thomas Hill is known for Western landscape, national park painting. Immigrating from England in 1844, Thomas Hill came to America with his family as a youngster, and became one of America's most famous 19th-century landscape painter, especially of panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Yosemite. He also painted landscapes of the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park, where he was particularly fascinated by the geysers. Hill studied art in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy, and his first intentions were to become a history painter. However, he changed to landscape when he spent time in Europe, especially France among the Barbizon painters and in the studio of Paul Meyerheim. During the 1870s and 1880s, his work brought high prices, but diminished with the increasing popularity of modernism. In the latter half of the 20th century, his work was rediscovered, and he is now considered one of the major figures in American art. He settled with his family in Taunton, Massachusetts and worked in Boston with a carriage maker. He studied with Peter Rothermel at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and painted in Massachusetts and New Hampshire with George Inness, Virgil Williams, Albert Bierstadt, and his brother, Edward Hill. Experiencing health problems with the cold, wet New England climate, Hill moved his family back to San Francisco in 1871. He hit his artistic stride in California during the 1870s, beginning with his first grandiose painting, The Yosemite Valley, which was published as a chromolithograph by Prang. With Frederic Whymper, Hill was a founding member of the San Francisco Art Association, and in 1873, he became a member of the Bohemian Club, a men's organization dedicated to cultural enhancement. Hill's paintings continued to bring higher prices in the 1870s, and he was a wealthy man by 1878. Soon thereafter, however, hard times fell upon the artist, as they did on the San Francisco economy and art market in general. He struggled through the next decade, moving back and forth to paint in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and his beloved Yosemite Valley in California. During these years he was still acclaimed but experienced increasing financial distress. Also his marriage was not happy, which led him to spend more and more time in Yosemite. When his long-time friend and fellow artist Virgil Williams, director of the California School of Fine Arts, died in 1886, Hill agreed to take over as a director without compensation. By the following summer, however, running the school had become more than he could handle. John Muir and Alaska provided the means of escape. Muir, who normally preferred the landscapes of his friend William Keith, commissioned Hill to paint Muir Glacier in Glacier Bay, Alaska, 'because he could paint ice better than Keith'. Hill left his position at the School of Fine Arts in San Francisco in the summer of 1887, and took off on a cruise to Alaska that resulted in a number of Alaska and Canadian coastal pictures. He also spent a winter in New Orleans, creating large studio paintings. The commissioned painting of Muir Glacier that Hill completed in the winter of 1887-88, now in the collection of the Oakland Museum in California, bears a striking resemblance to another painting held by the Anchorage Museum of History and Art. It shows the same glacier, although the Anchorage painting is almost twice the size of the earlier version. Both portray the Muir Glacier and foreground beach with a distant steamship in the bay. Of the paintings in the collection at the Anchorage Museum, Hill's 'Muir Glacier' is certainly the grandest 19th century painting and most important work by a major artist of the period. Hill's fortunes continued to vacillate until 1896 when he suffered the first of a series of strokes from which he never fully recovered. He died in 1908, and it is believed that his death was by suicide. Although the kind of work he and Keith did has been out of favor for most of the 20th century, the quality and importance of their painting has more recently been rediscovered.
George Dabich Sunlight Basin Wyoming Oil Painting
Lot #1156 (Sale Order 1156 of 1516)
Title is Sunlight Basin Wyoming. 27 1/2" by 33 1/2" framed. Condition Report: Unrestored, small quarter size area of paint loss in sky, some paint crackle as shown. Would benefit from a cleaning. George Dabich (1922 - 2013) was active/lived in Wyoming, California. George Dabich is known for West-historical genre, sculptor. George Dabich was born in 1922 in East Los Angeles, CA. Shortly he moved to be with his father in Alberhill, CA where he grew up. George was discharged from the Navy in 1945 after having two ships blown out from under him and returned to Alberhill. Jobs were scarce in those parts in 1946, so Dabich joined a friend heading off to Wyoming. Being that his friend was a gambler, they ended up in Cook City, Montana, which was a wide-open town then, where George took a job as a wrangler. After the wrangling job fell through, Dabich headed over to Cody, Wyoming where he took a job as a guide for an outfitting company. It was Dabich's guiding career that ultimately shaped his life as an artist and family man. On a hunt one morning in 1958, he went out to retrieve a couple of picketed horses. Not wanting to walk the horses back the half mile to camp he swung up on one of the horses bareback not knowing he was a bucker. Shortly Dabich flew over the horse's head landing on the ground in front of him. As the horse continued to buck, it lost it's balance and fell on him breaking Dabich's leg. Having no place to recover he was taken in by his girlfriend whom he soon married. To combat the boredom of recovery he took up sketching and painting. "Breaking that leg was the best thing that ever happened to me," Dabich said. A local restaurateur, Junior Kousolos, discovered some of Dabich's work in the trash and sold them to Senator Alan Simpson's farther, Milward, then Wyoming's governor, for $60.00 giving the cash to Dabich. Dabich had his first sale, and the artwork remains in the Simpson family cabin 'till this day. Kousolos soon opened an art gallery next door to his restaurant representing the artwork of Dabich, Bob Meyers and a resent arrival in Cody, Nick Eggenhofer. Dabich and Eggenhofer soon became fast friends and fishing buddies - although Dabich never had formal art lessons he learned immeasurably by watching Eggenhofer work. At the time of this writing Dabich is 87 years old, still painting, sometimes sculpting and doing some of his best work. He paints what he knows and his art is wonderfully detailed and accurate - a product of his intimacy with the wilderness and ranching gained through his many years of guiding and wrangling. Dabich's animals, besides being accurately illustrated, exhibit the critter's personality and reaction to specific situations. This ability is only achieved through real life experience.

Stoney Lamar Birds Eye Maple Table
Lot #1199 (Sale Order 1199 of 1516)
19 1/2" diameter. 26" tall. Stoney Lamar (Born 1951) is active/lives in United States. Stoney Lamar is known for Sculpture. William Stoney Lamar (1951 – ) has contributed exceptional skill and vision to the world of wood turning for over 25 years. Lamar attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for a short period before leaving and working as a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War for two years. He later attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville followed by Appalachian State University, where he graduated in 1979 with a B.S. in Industrial Arts. It was not until the mid-1980s that Lamar began to work on a lathe and fully explore its utility in realizing his own artistry. Stoney Lamar’s sculpture is created primarily through a unique approach to multi-axial lathe work, giving his pieces a distinct sense of line and movement unlike other works of turned wood. Often letting the shape, color and modeling of the wood determine a piece’s finished appearance, Lamar also employs paint and metal in his forms. The artist continues to create, and his work can be found in both private and public collections around the country. Lamar has used his knowledge in his field to teach and lecture, and has served on the boards of the American Craft Council, the Center for Craft, Creativity & Design, and of the Southern Highland Craft Guild. He is also a founder of the Association of American Woodturners.
