Whether it's a mystical painting of thunder maidens or plain-song renditions of cowboys taking a coffee break or a sketch of a bull rider at a rodeo or a buffalo shedding its winter coat this book is like a window on that hot, sunny world of Cowboys & Indians, desert & animals, sunsets & rivers. A glorious gallery of the Great American West.

This is a beautifully conceived and executed collection of the best of the best. The authors have combined glorious images with interesting information about the artists. All the works are so exceptionally well done it would be difficult to pick a favorite. You'll never tire of immersing yourself in the beauty.

ENJOY! Each page is a large-scale color plate of one artist's work - 125 in all. My favorites include works by Mian Situ, Cyrus Afsary, Ray Vinella, Tom Haas, Ken Auster, Lanford Monroe, E Manning Crook, Oleg Stavrowsky, Stepahn Juharos, Howard Post, Paul Youngman, Martha Saudek, Judith-Moore Knapp, Sherry Blanchard Stuart, Tim Cox and Bruce Peil.

I absolutely Love this Book !!! As an artist myself it gave me perfect ideas and inspiration. I look through it all the the time.
