I have a large print of this Remington, and have seen the original in the Amon Carter Museum in Ft. Worth. I've always thought that Remington & Russel significantly influenced American culture, with their dynamic scenes of the West. The cameras of the day could not capture action, so their paintings & sculpture captured the public's imagination, which in turn inspired filmmakers, who created the classic Western movies. Then there was Georgia O'Keefe, who has always been a favorite. She was a tremendously influential painter, and probably influenced much of today's Western art.

Very interesting, thanks for all the good posts! 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. That's a nice Gary Carter print Sam. He did a lot of scenes from Yellowstone park. Photobucket is down right now so I'll wait til tomorrow to post pictures. We are big lovers of Larry Zabel and a few others.

And one more to help me remember my Blue Heeler who loved to be around cattle. I had her for 15 years.

I have a couple Russell and Remington prints. Also a few Russell calendars that I just open to whichever month it is..laffin. Also have a few old tin signs for Winchester, Marlin and Remington that are kind of neat and fun to have.

I have an old Heiser saddle. Great example of the saddlemakers art..... And an old woodcarving picture of the legendary bucking horse Steamboat, from Cheyenne in 1917.... Geezus...do you HAVE to be cooler than everybody ALL the time???? Yes he does. It is required of all charter members of the VBTE.
I am..........disturbed.

SamOlson: I have grown to REALLY enjoy the art of Nancy Glazier - her renditions of Varmints, predators and game animals makes me swoon! I have framed prints and artists proofs done by her of Rock Chucks, Lynx, Fox, Bobcats, Coyotes, Elk, Mule Deer and Whitetailed Deer. I enjoy her work so much that it is kind of a shame as I don't consider, anymore, buying anyone else's work! Sadly my politics will not let me purchase any of her Wolf paintings.

The ol lady got a call yesterday from the antique/junk store. Acrylic, so had just started painting (switched to oils and got way better fast). Pretty bad really, composition and other is atrocious. plus I really don't even remember this........35 or so yrs ago. Kinda cool though.......it showed up. At least it's now out of the public eye.

Funny this thread comes up as yesterday I finally got my Carter print up to get framed.
Framing is as much as the damn print!

If a get another 7mm mag synth will probably paint a better bull pic on the stock. Gave up art many moons ago, ink/pencil was easy.........paint was kind of a pain. But once you learn THE paint, it too gets boring, unless you have super patience and do that hair by hair thing like Bruce Summerfield and others do (Bruce is gone, was a nice guy). My aunt does some Indian stuff. Lemme hit the web, some have probably seen one of her paintings. Has one in some park/museum out west somewhere LOL
