Boren comments: "This Texas Cowboy is
surrounded by the tools of his trade, most of it
well-used and worn. An amazing assortment of
items collects in tack rooms on old, established
ranches. From an artistic point of view, I
overlapped the cowboy's white shirt , the white
pail, and the woolly chaps to create a large area
of light color in the top half of the painting. The
left side of his black hat flows into the shadow
behind him; paintings pack more punch when
darks and lights are connected to form large
interesting patterns. This cowboy is one of those
fortunate souls who gets to go to work each day
with their dog, and his dog thinks he hung the
moon!"

full expression and confident brush-work. He
also does plein-air painting to recreate natural

for an article in Southwest Art magazine on the

another Reaugh student best known as a
waterfowl painter today, was smitten by the Palo
Duro during Reaugh sketching trips in 1930 and
1931. Beginning in pastel and in gradually
increasing size, Bassett painted his The Wagon
three times before his monumental version was
reproduced on the cover of The Cattleman in
April 1950." The Cattleman described the
painting: "It is a Texas scene, typical of the Tule
and Palo Duro Canyon of the Red River…..The
setting is not an exact location but rather, the
painting is a composition documented by many

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.
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 pictures were also published in
Harper's Monthly and Weekly, Outing,
Scribner's, and Everybody's magazines. Brown
& Bigelow, the nation's largest calendar
publisher, published Goodwin's calendars, and
he received advertising commissions from major
firearms companies including the two biggest
manufacturers, Winchester Arms and the Marlin
Firearms Company. His success brought him to
the attention of the best book publishers, and he

Iroquois is remarkable and rarely seen in the
work of other non-native artists." John Giblin,
former site administrator of Fort Pitt and Bushy
Run Battlefield, states, "To my knowledge, not

depicts a rain shower. This was painted just
years before his early death, and is an excellent

him to studying the Old Masters, and from that
time Schmid credited him with the direction of
his career which was devoted to "alla prima"
painting, that is finishing a painting in one
session.
His paintings have been exhibited in a host of
distinguished institutions, including The Thomas

Art Museum, Dallas, Texas. Salinas was
apprenticed to Robert Wood and Jose Arpa. In
the 1950's Salinas' landscapes portraying the
Texas hill country became very popular.
Collectors of his work at the time included:
Congressman Sam Rayburn, J. Frank Dobie, and
most notably President Lyndon Johnson. With
the President as a supporter and collector
Salinas' work became nationally recognized.
Today, Salinas is considered one of the best and
most widely collected Texas landscape artists.
This piece embodies Salinas' best painting
qualities with the beautiful representation of the
Texas hill country flora and landscape. His great
use of color, delicate brushwork in the trees, and
atmospheric clouds make this one of his greatest
works.

Onderdonk studied under William Merritt Chase
at the Shinnecock Summer School of Art, Long
Island in 1901. The emphasis of study there was
to work from nature, in nature. In a letter home,
Onderdonk reported on his early experiences
there stating: "The Students paint entirely
differently... they always strike the values in the
foreground objects first and then work back to
the sky line and afterwards touch the whole
thing up. I work that way now." This positive
realization signifying a new development in his
technique is portrayed in this painting. Source:

comments: "A few years ago I was traveling up

when I decided to take hwy 218 west out of

came upon the tiny town of Indian Gap, just

Nestled back in the thicket off a little road

school which was built in 1913. The building

coyotes, owls and mice occupy the school." This
