Obviously he enjoyed watching Colorado's beautiful wild horses, back when they were protected. He would be heartbroken at how the western states treat them now.

Thank you! 

This painting hung in the Children's Library of the old building for quite sometime...at least until 198o. It was next to librarian's desk behind the circ counter.

Hi Tony - Thanks for the insider's view!

Thank you, Brian--I've always loved this painting (indeed, it is one of my favs!). Appreciate your acknowledging it for the great piece of art it is! Our Western History department has many beautiful works of art--another of my favorites is the Evergreens, by Hugh Weller: http://digital.denverlibrary.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p15330coll22/id/84927/rec/1

Thanks, Leigh Ann! Evergreens is, indeed, a beauty!
