I bought it at auction probably 12 years ago near Durango, CO. I'll try to get a pic later. Mercy ceases to be a virtue when it enables further injustice. -Brent Weeks ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

Things getting a little "Western". Leigh loved drama. He also did some amazing things with color during a particular period of his career.

I also had a "Tex and Patches" print from an old Colt ad, that somehow got misplaced somewhere. That's all I got...........

My dad turned me onto a place in MT that is selling signed prints by a 'local' artist. I recently bought this one. Need to find a place that will frame it... Nothing too dramatic and the horse on the far right is a twin to mine so I like it.

It was going to get throwed in the trash and I kinda took a shine to it, and rescued it to hang in my mudroom. http://karmeltimmons.com/shop/ Last edited by huntsman22; 04/10/17.

The painting of the Hopi Mesas (second Mesa I think???) recalls an earlier time. The pueblos don't look like that now. But you can tell that at one time they did.

One is a pair of paddlefish and the other a running pronghorn. https://www.michaelwestergard.com/biography/ https://postimg.cc/xXjW1cqx/81efa4c5 Soli Deo Gloria democrats ARE the plague.
