The statement
# Artist's Statement
I have spent the better part of my career racing against time, trying to set down on canvas what I have seen with my own eyes in the West before it vanishes entirely. Even as a young man out there, I sensed that "the wild riders, the open land, and the soldiers and Native peoples" were already slipping away, and I resolved to record that world before it disappeared for good. This new picture carries forward that mission—every detail of horse, tack, and rider drawn from direct observation, the kind of field accuracy I learned working for Harper's Weekly.
But I am no longer content to merely illustrate. In recent years I have pursued something beyond the reporter's duty: atmosphere, mood, the quality of light and air that makes a scene breathe. Here the broad handling and restrained palette serve that end, concentrating all the drama in the physical fact of horse and rider moving through hard country. I want the viewer to feel the cold morning air, the animal power beneath the saddle, the tenacity it takes to hold on and push forward. This is the vitality and endurance that defined the frontier—and that I mean to preserve.
