Waddell’s sophisticated modernist paintings have attracted widespread recognition. A former cattle rancher, Waddell most often paints freely rendered range animals roaming the vast plains of Eastern Montana. His art draws a deliberate parallel between his subject and abstract art elements.

Cattle and horse motifs are arranged formally on the flattened, painted “ground�; characteristic of modernism.

ART CATALOG “I tell people that I’m a Western artist in that the subject matter that I do has tied me to Western art. I’m painting a contemporary slice of the West. I’m living what I paint.” ~ Theodore Waddell
