10 Duty, Michael Under Western Skies Bob Pummill Cowboy Art Signed

Signed by Artist Written by : Michael Duty, The National Center for Americn Western Art, Kerrville, Texas, Gray Tweed Cloth Hardcover with Dustjacket, 176 pages, 14 1/4" oblong, Signed by artist, Bob Pummill on front endpaper. Bob Pummill's paintings capture the grand adventure of the American West - cattle drives, stage-coaches, wagon trains traveling over long stretches of the Western prairies-images that most people associate with the Old West. He has spent four decades refining his craft and today is counted among the nation's finest Western artists. He is a member of the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America and his paintings can be found in major collections throughout the country. Under Western Skies chronicles Pummill's entire career and offers a perspective on both Western history and the creative process of painting. The stories found in the book are the individual stories of the American West. Contemplating the paintings in this book gives one the sense of what it would have been like to have been there, to feel the chill in the early morning air, to smell the food cooking on the fire, and maybe even to feel the soreness after a long day in the saddle or on the wagon seat. Under Western Skies presents both the grand panorama of the West and the quieter moments of individuals wrestling a living from a hard, but beautiful land. Near fine. DJ has some indentations on back cover from a ball point pen. No ink stains. Inside pages clean and binding is tight. ISBN 0972105611 200.00 g1-3
