All of these studies were created in oil on 16 x 12 panels.
Most were done in about 2 hours. I remember being at Elizabeth Ridge, east of Salt Lake City,
when I first decided to do these...Word got around camp, and before I could get up one morning,
I had 15 buckskinners in line!! ARG! It almost turned into a nightmare...
just like going to a 9 to 5 job!
My only focus was to try to capture the spirit and energy I felt from these gentle folks.
None of these are very good reproductions
before the art went home with it's sitter.
