“The inspiration for “The Sacred Moment” came from the description in Clark Wissler’s Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History. It reads, “…the chief object is a large dagger-like knife, to the handle of which was attached the jaw of bear… that the recipient must catch when violently thrown at him…” The painting depicts the ceremony prior to the moment when the knife keeper throws the sacred knife at a fearless recipient - while the band chiefs, the medicine men and the warriors look on in silent anticipation of an uncertain outcome.”

America’s Second Western Frontier, acrylic on mahogany panel, 18 x 24 inches, $43,000

“In the first half of the twentieth century our image of the old American West was created, to a large extent, by a few great artists. These visionaries included Charles M. Russell, Frederic Remington and Frank Tenney Johnson. Similarly, in the second half of the same century, it was the art of a new medium, television, that gave birth to America’s second Western frontier. The influence of those broadcast images is still at work today in our national consciousness.”

The Concord, oil on board, 24 x 36 inches, $18,000

“Built by Abbot and Downing of Concord, New Hampshire, the rugged elegance and ingenious suspension design of the Concord made it not only comfortable to ride in, but also made it comparatively easy to pull. The key to its success lay in the two large leather through braces, which not only absorbed the vagaries of the road, but also imparted a forward rocking motion, much like a cradle. This iconic vehicle, like nothing else, embodies the taming of the old west and the arrival of civilization on the raw frontier.”

By The Light Of The Moon, oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches, $17,000

“One of my favorite subjects to paint is the nocturne. No matter what the subject is ... there are so many variations of color in a moon light painting.”

Bear Necessities, oil on board, 12 x 34 inches, $3,800

“This painting was inspired by a photo a friend took several years ago of a young grizzly crossing the Snake River while contemplating a group of geese in front of him. I wanted to crop away the big landscape and concentrate on the more graphic attributes of the river and rocky shore. I felt that it highlighted the bear and the tension the geese might be feeling. My friend, a photographer for decades, said the bear knows he can’t make a meal out of the geese as they can go airborne too quickly, but he can have fun trying!”

The Overseer, acrylic on board, 30 x 22 inches, $9,000

“I find mountain lions absolutely fascinating. Their elusive behavior gives them a great sense of mystery that really draws me in. So much can be said with just one look 5 that intensity makes them one of my favorite subjects to paint.”

A Meeting in the Woods, oil on canvas, 30 x 40 inches, $15,000

“When I’ve been out on my own in search for ideas in the fall, I have had encounters deep in the woods with elk. There is something so primeval about encountering a bull elk in this situation, when it’s just you and him. He doesn’t know what your next move is and vice versa.”

The Duck Pond, oil on canvas, 24 x 24 inches, $6,000

“This painting is a narrative on the idea of territory. Tolerating a pair of trumpeter swans who have arrived as less than welcome guests, the hooded merganser keeps its distance, preferring it had the pond all to itself.”

“The advancing colors of dusk hour turn an ordinary landscape into an abstract of subtle hues. While the mule deer does are the focus in this painting, they share it with changing light.”

American Nobility, acrylic on canvas, 60 x 40 inches, $58,000

“Wapiti is the name that the Shawnee Natives of North America called the magnificent and largest member of the deer family we commonly refer to as elk. The bull and the cow are very regal in their appearance and postures. The elegance of the head and neck of the cow is graceful and the strength of the distinct wooly neck of the adult bull that supports his remarkable head and dramatic arrangement of antlers gives them both a very noble appearance.”

“The Manifest Destiny Desk combines a striking array of hardwoods with traditional Old World joinery and historical design. From the carved “bark look” edging to the featured wildlife carving, every detail is meticulously transpired. A unique secret compartment is built into the desk that is comprised of a hidden mechanism, and it requires a combination of numbers to release the hidden drawer!”

“This entry piece is a juniper root base with applied half round juniper poles. The top is quartered white oak with a red leather edge band. This piece was built to grace an entrance way with a free form organic shape. The table makes a great place to put mail or keys as you enter the home. The quartered white oak top is extremely hard and the grain has an iridescence to it that compliments the free form juniper root. I was trying to build a very organic piece without any 90 degree angles.”

Cat of Many Names, oil on linen, 12 x 9 inches, $2,800

Enchanted, acrylic on board, 30 x 20 inches, $4,900

“The painting “Enchanted” depicts a bobcat gracefully climbing up a steep rock face as it follows a swallowtail butterfly. Mesmerized by the shimmering golden creature, the cat watches as it drifts up and out of reach a fleeting moment of wonder.“

“Probably more than any other animal- The Mountain lion has been given more names. Puma, mountain lion, ghost cat, cougar, painter, panther, shadow cat and spirit cat. One of my goals as an artist has always been to try my best to portray the true spirit of a cat. If I can capture that spirit I will have a convincing cat painting.”

Prayer for Peace, bronze ed. of 7, 37 x 29 x 13 inches, $18,000

“This scene was inspired by the feeling I have when I am outside on a winter morning and the temperature is pretty cold. The beauty is almost overwhelming while at the same time that beauty can reach right through your clothing and remind you that nature is in control and we travel and partake of it as guests.”

“ I worked closely with the Northern Arapaho veterans to develop this sculpture. Always uppermost in mind is the irony that if we go to war that there will be peace.

This War Chief and his powerful warhorse pause for a moment of ceremony before heading into battle.”

Searching The Plains, oil on linen, 30 x 24 inches, $25,000

“I have been interested in Native American culture and their history for years, as well as their traditions. It is particularly satisfying when I have the opportunity to personally communicate with tribal members at a Pow Wow.”

Gallatin River Camp, oil on board, 19 x 15 inches, $5,700

“On an early moody November day, Blackfeet Indians are camped alongside the Gallatin River en route to territories Northward. Using the region as a thoroughfare they hunted and fished as they passed through. My painting depicts these travelers as they pause for several days, before resuming their journey.”

Autumn Warmth, oil on canvas, 60 x 48 inches, $19,500

“The white of these aspen trunks allows me to create a simple design. I am then able to apply related harmonies to the appropriate value mass and have a beautiful progression of color from light into the shadow portion of the painting. The variety of hues because they are the right value adds the interest found in nature’s color yet it separates from the background which creates depth.”

“In Native American cultures, sage symbolizes protection and healing and is viewed as one of their most important plants. This native woman sits peacefully among the sweet sage. I love to combine the realism of the figure with the abstract background. In a way, the abstraction symbolizes the land that vanished from the grasp of the Native American people.”

Golden Plains of Yesteryear, oil primed linen canvas mounted on foam board, 30 x 48 inches, $22,000

“I have a very special connection to bison since raising an orphaned bison calf from 2000 to 2003. We had Charlie Buffalo for the express purpose of creating a sculpture “Back From The Brink” which told the story of how Mary Ann Goodnight persuaded her husband, Charles Goodnight, to bring her several bison calves that were orphaned during the mass bison slaughter of the 1870’s. The Goodnight’s went on the raise buffalo for the last 50 years of their lives on their Texas ranch. The off spring of these calves are now in Cap Rock State Park in the Palo Duro Canyon near Amarillo, Texas. Goodnight sent bison to Yellowstone in the late 1800’s to help restore the almost extinct herd.”

“Africa is a place of ever-changing, dynamic interactions. Here, one of its most colorful birds, the Superb Starling, is seen with the largest antelope, the Eland. After taking a break from painting for over a year I have come back in a much looser style, still striving to capture the feel of its vastness, the heat and the wonder of its wildlife.”

Stories of the West are the thing that I love most dearly, and my painting “Holding the High Ground” is a great example of what I mean. Three lawmen who are bound and determined to bring in their fugitives, dead or alive.”

Born To Run, bronze, ed. of 30, 16 x 18 x 8 inches, $5,800

“Horses running, with manes and tails flying in the wind are some of the most graceful and beautiful animals on earth.

They are often portrayed as a symbol of total freedom. From the moment they stand on their wobbling legs, as their mother watches, they run, kick, jump and play in a grassy pasture.

Some horses used by American cowboys still seem to be born to run. One of the great pleasures of cowboyin’, is watching the wrangler bringing in the Remuda (ranch horses), on the run, as daylight’s breaking.”

High Noon, oil on panel, 32 x 24 inches, $6,200

“Barns are the collective centers of farms and communities; places of storage, of safety, of refuge. They are the difference between a garden and a farm; between feeding a family and supplying a nation with food. Barns are tangible examples of a collective past, a reminder that previous generations were not people of idleness. They were problem-solvers and pragmatists who still understood the importance of even small elements of beauty. Neither are barns sarcophagi, remnants of a dead past. People still work the land, trying to find their place in changing economies.”

“Like a lot of kids back then, I grew up with a cap gun, holster and a cowboy hat. And of course, we were all busy pretending to be the latest hero in a Western.

The youngster depicted in the painting is from that bygone era—working hard to get his “Gary Cooper look” just right.”

Located near Island Lake and Fremont Peak, this remote part of the Bridger-Teton National Forest is a beautiful and inspiring wilderness that has remained unchanged.

This big strong gelding has positioned his right hind leg under himself in preparation for a quick turn or spin to the right, all the while collected in his neck which makes him look like he is strutting his stuff.”

Spirit of the West, oil on canvas, 40 x 50 inches, $12,900

“As a lifelong Westerner, I have a huge connection to the land, flora and fauna of the American West. To many, the horse embodies the freedom to live, roam and survive in an often harsh environment.”

“Every child’s least favorite words are “it’s time for bed” and I thought this contrast of beautiful, warm lighting would help offset such a “tragic” event. I found humor while painting this and hope every adult can relate. I sure can. Maybe the buyer of this painting will simply have to point to the painting to remind either their children or grand-child that it’s time for bed.”

“This scene captures the fleeting moment of a young girl lost in thought while playing with her hair. The best most natural poses often happen when the model is not being directed. Such was the case with this painting. Her pose was not planned or preconceived but was a candid expression she fell into as I was setting things up in the studio. I loved how the light was catching those wisps of hair!”

“This “Perfect Moment” is always very brief, lasting only a couple of minutes at best, and doesn’t happen every morning. But when it does, it is this artists’ dream inspiration. One needs to be in the right place at just the right time to witness it. Almost a decade ago my dear artist friend, Kathy Wipfler of Jackson, Wyoming gifted me a few photos she had taken of the Tetons. One was from this unknown vantage point, at just the right moment.

“My wife loves flowers. One day when she was arranging the flowers, it captured my eyes. So, I asked her if she could put on the Miao dress and be my model.”

What I still have is a dog eared old paper print that has faded with time, but still has the effect of the first dawn light. With numerous necessary changes, inventions and manipulations, involving other references as well, it became this painting.”

While these chance meetings are unremarkable in my ranching world, the moment when my eyes meet those of a bear is etched deeply in my memory.

Pueblo Series - #18, Colorado Salmon Alabaster with Coral, Blue Turquoise, Lapis Lauzli, Mediterranian Red Coral Beads with Silver and Lapis Beads, Silver Wire and Desert Ironwood Rim and Bottom, 9 x 11 inches, $6,900

“A fascination and study of the work of Charles Loloma, the great Hopi jeweler, is the point of departure for the “Pueblo Series.” Masses of the wonderful southwest colors of Loloma are translated into pueblos, those beautiful villages clinging to the edge of the abyss. Pueblo #18 with its color, symmetry and architecture, brings all of those ideas together. A vessel that reminds us that nature’s beauty and human resourcefulness are in themselves a thing of beauty.”

Above the Glacier-Gyrfalcon, oil on canvas, 38 x 40 inches, $19,500

“The largest of all the Falcons, the Gyrfalcon nests up in the extreme Northern latitudes. Royal, majestic and powerful are a few adjectives that describe this most Northernly member of the Falcon family.”

Breaking News, oil on canvas, 36 x 60 inches, $35,000

“It’s such a strange and wonderful relationship between wolves and ravens. It seems that ravens communicate very explicitly and loudly with wolves and wolves do the same. But a friend that blabs endlessly gets pretty irritating.”

Above The Pages, oil on belgian linen mounted, 12 x 24 inches, $4,500

“I have a passion for collecting old books. This book holds particular meaning and emotional attachment. The book featured is my mum’s first cookbook. The perspective in the painting has it appearing with another dimension. It is a different way of employing the technique of Trompe-l’oeil.”

Blue Birds at Finely’s, acylic on panel, 18 x 24 inches, $8,500

“One of my favorite places to visit is our good friend, John Finley’s ranch.

It is a beautiful sprawling ranch, with incredible hills, a beautiful river, and of, course all the buildings. There are so many fascinating things to see on the Finley Ranch. On our last trip to the ranch I saw this old beat up rail fence with a saddle perched on it, and a bison skull resting next to the saddle. Perfect to paint!!! I added Mountain Blue Birds to create a spot of color and a story. What are the Blue Birds doing? Why have they chosen this saddle to rest on? As always, I have hidden our initials ( J + S) somewhere in the painting.”
