Frederick the Literate

Holy Cats! It’s A Tale of Two Kitties. Want to learn How to Smell a Rat? Is there anything you want to know about Caterwaul’s Catalog of Hairballs but were afraid to ask? There’s a very specialized library in Frederick the Literate, arguably Charles Wysocki’s most beloved cat painting and it’s available for the first (and last!) time

in a giclée canvas edition for a very small group of collectors who order this Anniversary edition published by the Greenwich Workshop as a Personal Commission. The edition will be limited to the exact number of collectors who order it by June 30, 2011. After that date, no more orders will be taken and no more gicleé canvases will be produced. These are every cat’s dream books from Field Guide to the Garbage Can to Delicious Field Mice I Have Known by international best-selling catty writers such as Thomas Cheshire and Kitty Mewpur. Frederick the Literate himself, exhausted from all this study, sleeps soundly, dreaming of the next big catch. “We’re both cat lovers and this painting is dedicated to Frederick,” said the artist.” “He was one of our favorite cats, if not the favorite. Fred was Mr. Wonderful but now he’s in the library in the sky. Although we’re all very dedicated and serious about our artwork, there is always time for humor. As soon as we came up with the idea, we knew what we had to do it. My wife Liz and I spent our breakfasts, lunches and dinners thinking about the book titles for this painting, including Cat-o Nine Tales, Rat Holes of the World and The Catebury Tales. This is one of those cases when after all these years of doing more subtle ‘story’ humor, all my more obvious puns were piling up. They had to come out!”

Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Giclée Canvas:Edition determined by the number of canvases ordered by June 30, 2011. 21"w x 23"h. $495 (Framing not included).

Commission Your Edition Before Time Runs Out!Orders Must be placed by June 30, 2011

What is a Personal Commission?The Personal Commission was created by The Greenwich Workshop, Inc. as a way for all customers who so desire to collect an artist whose fine art editions often sell out and are difficult to find. Collectors “commission” their personal copy of a given edition during a set period of time. Delivery of completed edition begins shortly after the edition size is determined by the total number of orders received during the Commission Period. This Fine Art Anniversary Giclée Canvas edition will be limited to the number of prints ordered during the commission period May 1, 2011 - June 30, 2011. Confirmation of the final edition size will be sent July 5, 2011.

Arriving June 2011

The beauty and seeming simplicity of this Steve Hanks painting gives little hint of the complex-ity within it. Each child interacts with the rain differently. As we grow older our perspective broadens and nowhere is this more obvious than with children. As with many Hanks paintings, Summer Rain is a metaphor for life. The umbrel-la and companionship offer these girls shelter from passing storms. They will master the simple steps of living and then apply them to life’s hard-er challenges. “This is a recent painting I did on Clayboard,” says artist Steve Hanks, “a surface that still amaz-es me as a watercolor artist. The colors are bright-er, the rainwater and reflections are even more realistic.” Summer rain is a passing necessity for everything that grows and a thing of wonder-ment to the young. Bring a little Summer Rain into your home or business with this new release from Steve Hanks.

The first in Charles Wysocki’s Sentinels of the Sea series, this painting was inspired by the Rockland Breakwater lighthouse in Maine. Charles liked to tell stories in his paintings, and along the New England seacoast he found them everywhere, from whaling museums, to captain’s houses, to 19th century lighthouses. A member of the U.S. Lighthouse Society, Charles loved to paint both real and imagined New England lighthouses. “They are unique expressions of human creativity,” said the artist. “Physically, they represent triumphant solutions to complex engineering problems. Emotionally, they conjure peril, rescue and poetry.” Start your Sentinels of the Sea lighthouse collection with Rockland Breakwater Light, where warmth glows from every window and a palpable sense of adventure is in the air as you leave your on-shore worries behind knowing that this grand dame will watch over you.

This Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Edition Textured Canvas gives the collector the most authentic reproduction of artist Alan Bean’s original art from his brushstrokes, to his unique moon-inspired texture of the painting surface. Hang this piece of Apollo history on your home or office wall and watch your guests sneak a light

touch of the irresistible surface. The work of artist Alan Bean conveys the sense of space travel not only through subject and color but also texture. The tools that once helped him explore the moon, now help him put the moon’s stamp on many of his paintings. Prior to painting the image, Bean covers the painting’s surface with a texturing material. He then uses exact replicas of his Moon boots to make footprints across this surface that are just like all the Apollo boot prints remaining on the moon today. Next he uses the same geology hammer he worked with on the Apollo 12 mission to dig into the painting’s surface. Finally, a sharp edged bit from one of the core tubes is used to make round indentations in the surface. “I guess every astronaut wanted to be the first man on the Moon. I know I did,” says Alan Bean. “And if we couldn’t be the first, we at least wanted to be one of the first. Apollo 11’s crew got the opportunity to make the first attempt. Neil, Buzz and Mike flew a perfect flight and went into the history books; but all 400,000 Americans that helped make Apollo a success are in that history, too. “I think this painting is exactly how Astronaut Neil Armstrong looked as he took the now-iconic photo of his lunar companion, Buzz Aldrin,” says the artist. “It is the image we would see in Buzz’s gold visor in my painting First Men: Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin if we could look close enough.”

SunFLowerS oF caStigLion Fiorentino

June Carey

Tuscany, against the foothills of the Apennine Mountains sits the small, walled-city of Castiglion Fiorentino. It is in magical places such as this that the soul of the region resides. It is here, in the shadow of the ancient stone tower, Il Cassero, that cultivated fields and Old World charm thrive. “On the peaceful flatland of the Val di Chio, just below the city, I climbed out onto the floor of this field of sunflowers,” reminisces June Carey. “They were tall and I wanted to stand among them, to look up and see the sun glowing through their golden crowns. I made my way amongst the giant leathery leaves, trying not to step on anyone’s feet. I was able to see, through the many flowery faces, my beautiful and ancient Etruscan village silhouetted against the sky, creating the dramatic background I hoped for in this painting. I wondered if the Etruscans planted sunflowers here. I didn’t linger, for I know the very much still-living proprietor tending these flowers could have soon arrived to question me. As I escaped through the mud, I sensed a thousand years of culture still thrived in this field. “These large girasole are just now reaching their full maturity and are covered with a million buzzing bumble bees. Their heads are heavy with the seeds and have begun to lean over with the weight. The petals droop gently down across their giant smiling faces. Too heavy to follow the sun, the flowers simply remain facing east. “Sometimes I park outside the main gate of the city, and walk up into the busy streets to go to my local post office or shop for a local wine or book. There is a coffee bar and pizza place just outside the massive, medieval gate, where old men always sit playing poker, laughing and talking. The old women are never with them. They are inside the village walls hanging out the clothes to dry above the narrow streets, running small shops, buying fresh bread for the day and talking loudly to each other. Their voices echo noisily within the ancient stone walls.” You can brighten any room with happiness of fresh flowers and the romance of Tuscany. Sunflowers of Castiglion Fiorentino is available as an oversized MasterWork™ Fine Art Canvas for large spaces and as a moderately-sized Fine Art Canvas Edition as well. You might not have a home in Tuscany, but with the art of June Carey you can enjoy Tuscany in your home!

Looking For Love

WINNER OF IPPY BRONZE MEDAL, CHILDREN’S BOOK

In many ways, lone wolves look for love in much the same way that humans do. Finding a suitable mate, getting along well, courting and marrying and ultimately raising a family together are inherent in both species. For the lone male wolf, however, he must leave the protection and companionship of his original pack, sometimes roam long distances and search for a female wolf who has set off on a similar mission. These quests take place during the breeding season, when scent is important and both wolves are compatible and ready to start an active courtship. A pair might also meet quite accidentally, but most often the howling of a lone wolf, which can carry a mile or more, will signal to a potential partner that love is in the air. If that call receives a response, the two wolves locate each other by continuing to howl. Courtship ensues and there is much grinning, kissing and “talking.” If one, or neither, wolf is ready to breed at this point, they will spend days and sometimes several weeks together first, romping, playing, hunting, resting and feeding. They will wander in search of new territory, being careful not to intrude on, or invade, another pack’s territory. Love has blossomed and a new family is born.

Judy Larson®


“Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” as “inalienable rights” is a concept that could only be born in a place where the land was abundant and its bounty teeming. Nothing is more American than wild horses ranging the West and wolf packs prowling the forested wilderness. Yet, these symbols of all that is wild and free are not only as threatened today as they have ever been, but are being rounded up and disposed of in a fashion they have never before had to fear: from the air. In Judy Larson’s Flight, a herd of wild horses races away from the droning aircraft circling above. This method of rounding-up mustangs such as these is part of the program to further cull the 33,000 horses still living in the wild in 10 Western states. Another 30,000 are already in captivity. The Bureau of Land Management wants to cut this total number of horses by half!

Judy has hidden within this herd another who has even more to fear from above, an Alaskan wild wolf. Exploiting a loophole for “predator control” in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act of 1972, Alaskan hunters have found a way around the Congressionally-banned practice of hunting animals like the wolf from the air. Many hunters consider the practice, at a minimum, unsportsmanlike, since it violates the “fair chase” ethic of hunting. More significantly, they consider it inhumane since airborne gunmen rarely get a clean (i.e., relatively painless) kill.

SoLdierS FaLLing into camp

R. Tom Gilleon

Sitting Bull and the Plains Indian warriors gathered along the banks of Little Bighorn River did not panic when camp scouts reported the approach of the U.S. Cavalry. During a Sundance not long before, Sitting Bull experienced a vision of a great number of dead Union “soldiers falling into camp” from the skies. It was a sign, he felt, of a great victory to come. “This painting, thanks to Daniel Long Soldier, has become a far more important piece than I could have imagined,” artist R. Tom Gilleon enthusiastically relates. “I had wanted to give an accurate depiction of the area where Custer met his end and tell some of the Little Bighorn story from the Indian’s point of view. Daniel’s Lakota Wicitowa (Lakota Paintings) of real warrior’s exploits, which I’ve used as the pictographs on the tepees, add a spirit to the piece that I couldn’t have achieved myself. “The ribbon of river you see is the Little Bighorn. From a vantage point such as this, it would

be hard to see the true size of Sitting Bull’s encampment. On the Plains, American soldiers were used to encountering villages of 50 to 60 lodges. In a landscape such as this, it’s easy to see why they would have had trouble seeing just how many Indians were waiting below.” The MuseumEdition™ of Soldiers Falling into Camp is intended to be accompanied by Daniel Long Soldier’s diptych Day of Yellow Hair with the first 25 of that edition reserved to create collectible sets with matching numbers. Collectors can also pair the individual prints of Long Soldier’s drawings with the smaller Fine Art Giclée Canvas Edition. Gilleon’s previous editions of Tribal Tripartite and Shadow of the Sixth are Sold Out at Publisher. Soldiers Falling into Camp will certainly follow suit.

Daniel Long Soldier

The Lakota Wicitowa (Lakota Paintings) of Daniel Long Soldier are some of the purest expressions of American art we’ve ever presented to collectors. They are authentic, uniquely Native American and riveting; Sioux warriors count coup on Custer, Crazy Horse pursues Custer’s scouts and Crow Dog’s wife rescues a fellow Lakota. Artist Tom Gilleon corresponded with Daniel, an Oglala Lakota Sioux, regarding Tom’s project Soldiers Falling into Camp. Long Soldier offered to help him with some ideas for the pictographs that Gilleon wanted to place on the tepees in his painting. These “ideas” arrived in the form of 10 paintings Long Soldier had created on antique ledger paper. The drawing style and the paper from the 1800s immediately raises curiosity over whether we were looking at something created 140 years ago or today. Six paintings have been combined into Day of Yellow Hair, a diptych that can be purchased with matching numbers to Gilleon’s Soldiers Falling into Camp or on its own. Four additional Lakota Wicitowa are available individually. Visit www.greenwichworkshop.com/ LongSoldier to see these images in detail and to learn more about Daniel Long Soldier.

The Crows called themselves Absaroke, loosely translated as “the Raven People.” They dominated rich hunting areas but at the cost of routinely defending their territory from neighboring tribes. North of the Crow were the Blackfoot; the Sioux and Cheyenne were to the east. Bright colors demonstrate a sense of pageantry in this Crow war party. The red square on his horse’s right shoulder identifies the leader whose buffalo headdress is adorned with beadwork. This determined group of warriers has left blue sky behind and but are suddenly called to a halt. What, or more likely who, has captured their attention? This never-before-published McCarthy painting, presented in a giclée canvas edition, has the look and feel of the artist’s original work of art.

the coming oF the iron horSe

Of all the innovations of the nineteenth century, none changed the landscape of the American West more than the steam locomotive. A monument to speed, industry and westward expansion, the locomotive charged across the landscape, changing the face of frontier life forever, but it did not happen overnight. Past and present collided in the prairies and plains, as workers laying tracks for the trains met with resistance from local wildlife. Even the mighty locomotive engine itself, with all its power and might, occasionally ran into the unstoppable force of nature. “Huge migrating herds of buffalo could stall a train for hours,” said Frank McCarthy. “For sport, travelers sometimes took potshots at them from the cars while they waited for the procession to pass.” It would not be long before progress and professional hide hunters rendered the threat of buffalo on train tracks nearly extinct.

hawk FeatherSElevating the nobility of the human spirit defines the fine art of Howard Terpning®. Through intuition and insight, what begins as a simple portrait becomes a masterful representation of Native American dignity.

Hawk Feathers is not this Northern Plains Indian’s name, but rather, the adornment he wears in his hair. The hunting ability of the hawk was highly respected and its feathers were considered good medicine. Nearly every North American tribe used hawk feathers as a badge of honor and they were worn a good part of the time. This tribal member is also shown wearing his buffalo robe. Unlike Europeans, the Plains people fashioned their robes with the fur on the inside and the smooth side of the hide facing out.

Hawk Feathers is a classic SmallWorks™ by Howard Terpning that sits side by side with any full-sized work of art. SmallWorks Editions are the most affordable way to collect the Giclée canvases of Howard Terpning. Only by owning the original could you possess a finer piece of art, so don’t let this gem disappear before you order yours!

“This painting of my 4-year-old daughter was inspired by a tea set that her grandmother gave her,” says artist Morgan Weistling. “The imagination of children continues to be a wonder for me to paint because they so easily drift into a make-believe world. She had little conversations with her stuffed friends while serving them and seemed unaware of my studying the whole event. It was a very successful party.” Morgan’s popularity continues to soar among collectors and the press. In the past 18 months his work has been featured in Art of the West, Western Art Collector, Western Art and Architecture, International Artist Magazine and American Artist. In February 2011, he won the Patron’s Choice Award at the Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale for the fifth time. We think he is having a very successful party!

The Art of Mian Situ | east meets west

Mian Situ

The California Gold Rush brought fortune seekers from around the world to isolated mining camps around the Sierra Nevadas. Occasionally, the aroma of the next meal would entice some of the local wildlife to visit a forty-niner camp as well. Most would-be miners had never spent an evening in the wilderness before heading to California, so encountering a hungry or angry California Grizzly was a first. The only certainty here is that a tumultuous uproar is about to occur, the outcome of which could fall in anyone’s favor. This painting is one of three that Situ introduced at the Autry’s 2010 Masters of the American West Show for which he received the Gene Autry Memorial Award. Mian Situ’s epic depictions of California’s “Eastward Expansion” sit side by side with the Westward Expansion works of Moran, Bierstadt and Russell in both their historical importance and artistic greatness.

among the SpiritS oF the Long-ago peopLe

You know a painting is special when it’s the piece in an exhibition that the collectors just stand in front of for a long period of time and simply don’t say word. And, they keep coming back to do it again and again. If interrupted, they’ll return to it, intent on having the opportunity to enjoy a great work of art. And in case we hadn’t picked up on that at the Masters of the American West art show this past February, the phone calls coming in to ask us, “When are you going to release it as a Fine Art Edition?” were certainly another clue that demand would be high for this particular giclée canvas.

The winner of the 2011 Thomas Moran Award for Painting, Among the Spirits of the Long-Ago People is a magnificent work. Terpning begins with a simple common premise; the grandeur of nature can be sacred. He relates that emotion not by creating a landscape painting, but by focusing on the reverence these men have for what they see. The petroglyphs show that this is an ancient understanding. These men knew it to be so in their time, just as we do today. Their silence, as they take in the wonder about them, is not unlike that of the collectors we saw view this work for the first time. “Petroglyphs on rock formations indicate that the visitors are in a spiritual place,” describes Howard Terpning, “a place blessed by the long-ago people. Numerous locations like this exist throughout Montana and Wyoming, sometimes high on a mountain with a spectacular view of Mother Earth. For centuries, Indian people have made the journey to these sacred places to give thanks for their blessings and to pray for success in hunting and in battle. Today, they continue to visit these sacred places as their forebears did, leaving small pieces of trade cloth and handmade objects decorated with beads or feathers as gifts for the gods.” Among the Spirits of the Long-Ago People is available as a Fine Art Canvas. At 33” x 35” it is an impressive work that will majestically fill any large space. Our carefully crafted giclée canvas will give you the experience of owning this great work of art for significantly less than the price the original captured in February. Also available is a more moderately sized and wonderfully priced Fine Art Giclée Paper. Both editions, truly faithful reproductions of the original, are signed by Howard Terpning and numbered. Collectors who waited too long to commit to last Fall’s The Legend of Geronimo missed out on what is a beautiful (and now hard-to-come-by) canvas or paper edition. Don’t wait too long and miss out again!

James C. Christensen was the subject of a new documentary by Barry McLerran and Rick Stout that pre-miered on April 18 on BYU-TV. The hour-long documentary explores his life, his family, artistic inspirations and his prolific career from his early musical talent to his life as a fine artist and professor. Collectors of Christensen will recognize many of their limited edition prints, up to and including the artist at work on the 2011 release The Chess Match. The program was broadcast as part of BYU-TV’s “Iris” series. Check http://www.byutv.org for repeat broad-casts and a streaming video link.

James C. Christensen

ShakeSpearean FantaSy

“I’ve had a lifelong love affair with Shakespeare’s works. Of all the artists—and certainly of all the playwrights and poets—who have ever lived, Shakespeare comes closest to my ideal” says James C. Christensen. “If I took all my best artistic qualities and exaggerated them to become some sort of creative superhero, I like to think I’d be a lot like Shakespeare. “This painting was commissioned by the Utah Shakespearean Festival. People ask me, ‘Why do you only have some of his plays represented here?’ My answer is always the same: ‘The other plays are on the back of the island, just go around!’ Seriously, a few of the references are tough, so you may need to revisit your Shakespeare to get them all. “The Bard had such a deep and intimate understanding of the human condition, so much so that his plays, which were written nearly a half-millennium ago, are still being performed. Why? Because the messages, trials and joys of his characters are universal and because they are beautifully expressed. The pleasure of reading Shakespeare’s sonnets or attending a performance of one of his plays is in his finely crafted language. He says things the way I wish I could say them.”

There’s no need for the subtlety of camouflage to enhance the storyline of this painting, the meaning is clear: the time for talking is over. “Beyond Negotiations is one of a few action pieces that I’ve created,” says the artist. “I had a lot of fun with gestures, facial expressions and creating a sense of depth and dust. Containing the charging Indians within a long horizontal border was not an option. This image sums up the results of all the negotiations leading up to the present moment (whatever they may have been!) The fact that the image is bursting at the seams helps to emphasize the immediacy of the warriors’ obvious negative response to the last proposal.”

It seems that with every artist there are works that manage to make it into private collections before they are properly documented. Some of these can, in hindsight, be rather important ones. They are known to exist, but their whereabouts are a mystery. As is often the case, in time, they somehow, some way, some day reappear. Bev painted The Arrival in 1977 and sold it through the Carson Gallery in Denver, Colorado, her originals

distributor at that time. The work’s trail ended there. Long thought lost, the painting was recently rediscovered! In the thirty-year period since its rendering, Bev has produced fifty Fine Art Editions, as well as seven books and folios of collected works, all published by The Greenwich Workshop. Until now, The Arrival remained elusive. Available in print for the very first time, it is one of the earliest works featuring the rendering style Bev has

become renowned for. Storytelling is a hallmark of nearly all of her compositions and The Arrival is no exception. The palette and design are instantly recognizable. Both are in service of the eponymous “Doolittle narrative” which has shaped the artist’s reputation. There is no escaping the implication of a “storm on the horizon.” Those dark clouds immediately bring to mind the Native American experience in North

America. This is storytelling through design at its finest. The Arrival is reproduced with an eye towards tradition but with the most up-to-date technology. This Fine Art Giclée is created on the highest quality fine art textured paper. Deckled edges allow for either a traditional or floating presentation of the framed image.

The Art of William S. Phillips | the glory of flight

engaging the enemy

William S. Phillips

On April 18, 1942 a group of 16 B-25s carrying 80 men emerged from the Pacific sky to launch an historic attack on the central island of the Japanese empire proclaiming with unexpected force that war was coming to the Japanese homeland. Lt. Richard O. Joyce and the crew of Plane 10 (#40-2250) engaged and eluded as many as seventeen Japanese fighter aircraft throughout their mission. S/Sgt. Edwin W. Horton’s twin-50s in the top turret played a crucial role in keeping the enemy at bay as Lt. Joyce piloted the B-25 across the hostile skies of Japan and on to China. Sixty-nine years later, only five of the original 80 airmen that flew on the Doolittle Raid on Japan remain. Just enough to man a single B-25, one last crew. Time has been kind and granted you the opportunity to own an authentic piece of Doolittle Raider history, but that door is closing. The print and canvas editions of Engaging the Enemy will be signed by the actual Raiders attending their 69th reunion. Engaging the Enemy was painted specifically for the 69th Omaha reunion, home to pilot Richard O. Joyce. The fine art canvas is an exact replica of William S. Philllips’ original 24” x 24” painting. Only by spending tens of thousands dollars for the original could you possess something better. The edition is limited to just 50 copies, so only a few will have the chance to own one. The fine art print is three pieces of art in one. Two printed remarques, original Phillips pencil renderings of a Mitsubishi Zero and Crew 10’s Mitchell B-25 Bomber, enhance the entire presentation and frame the Raider’s signing area. The reproduction quality of this giclée paper is second to none. You will own, with the print or canvas, a true and authentic historical document. No other artist has developed the deep relationship that Phillips has with the Doolittle Raiders. “Remembering the sacrifices of brave men and women helps us become more aware of how we should view this great country and the freedoms we so often take for granted,” says Bill Phillips. “This art helps us to keep these memories alive and gives us something to pass on to the next generation.” Doolittle Raiders committed to sign: Col. Richard E. Cole, Col. Robert Hite, Lt. Col. Edward Saylor, Maj. Thomas Griffin and S/Sgt. David J. Thatcher.

Ships navigating into and out of the harbors around San Francisco in the late nineteenth century were typically met by a pilot, a local seaman familiar with the shallow waters around the coastline. After directing the ship through the waters, the pilot would return to his schooner and await the next ship. The pilot schooner “Gracie S.” traveled waters around San Francisco from the nineteenth to the early twentieth century, tirelessly aiding larger ships in their passage.

“Living close to Yellowstone National Park has its advantages,” relates Dan Smith, “especially when the bison rut is at its peak in July and August. There are three to four thousand bison in the park gathering in groups of 50 to 300. If you put yourself in the right place, you’re really going to see the dust fly.” This access gave Dan a leg up at this year’s Masters of the American West Exhibition and Sale where the 30" x 48" Heavy Hitters took home the 2011 Bob Kuhn Wildlife Award for best wildlife painting. “It’s an incredible honor,” Smith states with awe. “I’m the youngest to have been selected for this award. You always hope that your work will be recognized, but never expect it. To be included in the ranks of Bob Kuhn, Tucker Smith, Ken Carlson and Kent Ullberg is a privilege.” Heavy Hitters’ focus is the look in the eyes of a 2000 pound, six-feet tall by twelve-feet in long bison in rut that lets you know he means business. The ferocity of this intent combined with all that mass is an extraordinary display. The snorting and pawing of dirt builds to the point where the two males make contact. You know by the look in his eyes that this is the real deal.

Logging on

Black bear is a relatively common species in North America and more so in Smith’s home state of Montana where he is fortunate to be able to do field work practically (and sometimes actually) outside his back door. An accomplished wildlife painter, Smith captured the essence of this bear’s heft and character in this 10x10” original painting. “I feel the pose is somewhat anthropomorphic,” says the artist, “and therefore people are attracted to the composition.” This entry in a recent miniature sale and auction sold quickly, but we were fortunate to capture it for a Greenwich Workshop SmallWorks™ giclée edition so that a handful of collectors can own it as well. Daniel Smith is just home from his seventh Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles where he won the 2011 Bob Kuhn Wildlife Award, given in recognition of exceptional artistic merit.

the dance

Most of artist Morgan Weistling’s art depicts scenes from the mid-to late-1800s rural American life, a time of the settling and defining values of our country. In 2001, The Dance made Weistling the youngest person ever to win the Prix de

West Award—he also won the Nona Jean Hulsey Buyers’ Choice Award—from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where it is now in the museum’s permanent collection. Morgan’s daughter, Brittany, posed for this painting. “Looking back 10 years, I can still feel the music and remember the inspiration that stirred this idea,” says Morgan. “Brittany and I were visiting a Cowboy Poetry and Music festival, she began to dance to some musicians much like in the painting. I later re-created that scene in my studio. I will always cherish the memories of Brittany and I dancing together as the musicians played for us.” This darling slip of a girl with a white apron dances on wooden floorboards worn smooth enough to twirl barefoot. We can almost feel the vibration of the music ourselves as the men lean into the rhythm and the expression of the music in her dance step. It’s been a long week of hard labor but tonight that melts away in a spirit of shared music and joy. Weistling’s star continues to rise. He sold all four entries in 2011 to the Masters of the American West Exhibition and Sale at the Autry National Center, where he won the Patron’s Choice Award for the third time.

Lakota warriorS, LittLe Bighorn, june 25, 1876

The original works of Z.S. Liang are quickly becoming unattainable. Offerings of his new paintings are, more often than not, handled by draw or silent bid. At this year’s Masters of the American West at the Autry National Center, col-lectors never even had the chance to bid on his silent-auction entry. That painting won the Purchase Award for 2011, so the museum

had already secured it for their collection. “During late 1875 and early 1876,” begins Liang, “young warriors were slipping away from their agencies to join bands of non-treaty Indians in the country east of the Bighorn River. American government authorities, in response to reports of this, ordered all Lakota bands to return to their reservation by February 1 or face the consequences. Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and the other leaders not only ignored the order, they were determined to fight for their freedom. “By mid-June, Sitting Bull and his followers were camped along the Little Bighorn River. And the U.S. Army was on their way to force the Indians to return. On June 25, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and approximately 250 Seventh Cavalry solders attacked this Indian village. They found themselves confronted by an enormous encampment thronging with furiously committed warriors. They were quickly surrounded and annihilated in what American history would refer to as ‘Custer’s Last Stand.’ “Known to the Indians as the Battle of the Greasy Grass, this painting focuses on the combined tribes celebrating their victory. The main figure is a Lakota warrior. He is holding, as his trophy, a Seventh Cavalry 35 Star guidon. (This unit marker became official in 1862 and was still in use when Custer rode west.)” Z.S. Liang’s Lakota Warriors is available as both a Fine Art Giclée Canvas and Fine Art Giclée Paper. Both are produced to The Greenwich Workshop’s and Liang’s exacting standards specifically for collectors like you. Remember, the only Z.S. Liang you could possess that’s finer would be the original work of art itself.

the grizzLy cLaw neckLace

The Great Plains grizzly bear has been extinct for over 100 years but when this species was abundant, a grizzly claw necklace was a coveted goal and prized possession. The wearer was regarded as brave and as one who possessed great medicine. The number of claws signified the number of grizzly bears a hunter had confronted. Only the front claws were used so twenty claws meant the wearer had met with at least two grizzlies, no small feat since the grizzly could take a bullet (or two!) and still keep charging. Of course a necklace could also be won in battle, as the reward for killing an enemy who wore it. The claws would be mounted on a core which was then covered in otter fur. When Plains grizzlies became rare, necklaces were made from Rocky Mountain grizzlies or the claws would be carved from elk antler, a painstaking and exacting process that earned nearly as much respect as trophy claws from a bear killing. Sold for $42,500, this Z.S. Liang painting was the top-seller at the 2010 National Museum of Wildlife Art’s largest annual fundraiser.

James Bama blends realism with spirituality in his portraits of the contemporary West, from dude ranchers, trappers and restless young Native American men, to descendents of renown warriors and delicate beauties in ceremonial dress like Little Star. The conflict between Native American myth and reality disappears with Bama’s paintings of the unique personalities that surround him in Wyoming. “‘Little Star’ is the Indian name for Millie Cody, this beautiful Navajo maiden,” says Bama. “I had the chance to see her teaching ancient crafts in Indian dress, going to church in a long pioneer-style gown and dancing to rock in hip huggers. She could easily have become Miss Indian America. To me, she was.”

The zebra, like most members of the horse family, is a highly social animal. Mountain zebras and plains zebras form family groups that will remain together for a lifetime, grazing, migrating and stopping to drink together. Joshua Spies has captured a family of zebras in the magnificent light of an African sunset on the “Waterline.” Although based in South Dakota, Joshua Spies has a world of wildlife experience under

his belt. His frequent trips across North America and into Africa have supplied him with an entire animal kingdom’s worth of subjects. “On a recent safari to South Africa I took over 2,500 photographs!” says Spies. “Many times these photographs not only help with detail, light and color, but are the inspiration for a new work. I really look forward to doing something new and challenging in each new creation!”

These two paintings aren’t intended to be a diptych in the sense that there is a continuum or inter-action between them, says wildlife artist Guy Combes. More so, I wanted to convey the essence of these formidable foes of the plains separately but ‘mirroring’ each other, too. The monolithic cold dark colors of the buffalo contrast with the warm energy of the lion’s head and mane. There’s something about the power and carriage of each animal that suggests similarities between them. Guy Combes was most recently featured at the Society of Animal Artists exhibition and sale in San Diego, California where his painting Leopard Lounge was a show favorite. He is also actively involved in efforts to prevent the Tanzanian government from building a road across the northern migration routes of the Serengeti National Park.

Steve painted this in honor of my Native American-inspired music and my dedication to the larger circle of life. Moonbear is the name of my recording company and this image is its symbol. I’ve always had a place in my heart for this beautiful painting. —Andrea Lyman This Greenwich Workshop Anniversary edition features a bear, one of Steve’s most-memorable yet rarely-painted subjects. The native Miwok word for the grizzly bear is the source of the name “Yosemite,” which was the artist’s favorite place on Earth. The quiet serenity of this, one of Steve’s few images featuring the bear, is a reminder of our fellowship with both the natural and animal world goals which honor the memory and legacy of the artist.

“Abstract shapes tend to dominate my work,” offers Tom Gilleon, “rectangles, triangles, circles and squares. Even when I paint a figure, especially one with a headdress, the focus is generally on the shape the headdress creates. In this case, it is just the opposite; it’s the man’s profile that really grabbed me. In fact, I cropped off the edge of the feathers on his headdress in the painting so they wouldn’t distract from his face. Handwritten on the back of the old photograph was ‘Lakota, Pemmican’ so I’ve always assumed that was this fellow’s name. This painting is about the years, the miles, the knowledge, the experience, the sorrow, the pride and the joy etched in this man’s face that was his life.”

LittLe Star peopLe

While not common to the Great Plains, the summer months do occasionally draw swarms of fireflies as far west as the Rockies. When they did range west, a visit by the “Little Star People” to a summer encampment was a treat for the entire band. The magic of moonrise on a warm summer evening became all the more spectacular when accompanied by the dance of these blithe spirits. The original is part of the permanent collection of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming. “Little Star People” is available in two sizes, but given the popularity of Gilleon’s previous releases, they will disappear quickly. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to enjoy a fine art’s summer evening at the campfire year round.

Life is an ongoing series of miracles. Everyone has something to be thankful for or someone they should they should be saying “thank you” to. Prayers, large and small, are answered daily, sometimes without us even knowing. Ex Votos are fine art offerings commissioned as the result of an answered prayer and displayed to acknowledge an appreciation for it having happened. Today, they are most widely known as the folk art works created on tin and found in shrines across Mexico.

“These little artworks are painted out of gratitude for the miracles, protection and prayers answered not only in my life, but for many of us,” says artist Cassie Barney. “In conceiving these, it didn’t seem that I was illustrating ideas, but sharing and exchanging them. Some are events that have happened in my life. Others are ideas that have been shared with me. Every mother has experienced the elation of holding their child for the first time and savoring that new-born

baby smell. Each time I see Never Felt Joy Like That Before it is a chance to savor that feeling again and say “thank you” for letting me experience this miracle.” Each Ex Votos celebrates the exceptional nature of the common and the uncommon: friendship, love, life, family and self. They recognize the divine nature of those things. This collection is styled with the look of the Mexican tin-paneled works and they designed to be hung in groupings. As gifts, they are the perfect message at the perfect time. Life is full of blessings and Cassie Barney’s Ex Votos give us the opportunity to share our recognition of this with beauty and grace.

Beauty and the BeaSt

Every evening the Beast comes to visit Beauty in her chamber, to talk with her and be near her. Tonight, as she sweetly plucks the harp strings, her mind wanders home to her father and sisters she misses so terribly. He, on the other hand, can think only of her. Every night before he leaves, this longing for her wells up and consumes him and he is compelled to ask, “Beauty, will you marry me?” And every night her answer is the same: “Even though I have grown to care for you very much, Beast, I do not love you. I am sorry, but no, I cannot marry you.” He exhales his grief in a deep sigh that echoes like a moaning wind through the palace corridors. Neither of them is aware at this moment that a bond has grown between them. Nor do they know what miracles the love they share will ultimately reveal. Scott Gustafson

So goes the famous childhood nursery rhyme that inspired this brilliant confection by artist Scott Gustafson. This character climbs out of a moon that is chock full of navigational aides, along with his nocturnal companion. He just woke up and is checking to be sure all the little ones on Earth are tucked in for the night. Maybe there’s a wee one under your roof who would love to doze off under his watchful eye or perhaps this limited edition will be your very unique gift to the expectant parents in your life.

A passel of plucked daisies litter the floor. Could it be they told a poor cowboy what he didn’t want to hear? He’s rounded up more, but most look a tad droopy, almost as if they know they’re bearers of bad news. Still the verdict ain’t in until you decide. Does he stand a chance with her? A Greenwich Workshop fine art giclée presented on watercolor stock with a deckled edge.

engagedThe average painting by Nelson Boren embodies a number of the artist’s qualities — fastidious attention to detail, a tender eye for texture and a respect for the hard-working people of the modern West. But what makes Nelson Boren’s paintings unique is his playful composition and the teasing close-ups that invite each viewer to create his or her own story. “Engaged” is no different. Two dusty, hard-working folks sit beside one another holding hands, perhaps a little excited, as the title suggests, with their new arrangement. But the rest of the story is up to you.

winter windFaLL

Winner of the Patron’s Choice Award at the 2009 Quest for the West show at The Eitleljorg Museum in Indianapolis, Winter Windfall is a stunning winter landscape from John Buxton. A broken and abandoned hay cart and its precious cargo of supplies is discovered by these woodland Indians. The hay cart is not designed for hauling supplies much less a trip down a backwoods stream. What caused the settlers to decide to make such an ill-prepared winter’s journey down such an arduous path? Such questions certainly entered these warriors’ minds, but taking stock of the bounty they have come across on this fine winter’s morning is the first order of business.
