From the Publisher The press release from
the National Cowboy and Heritage Museum that
announced Christopher Blossom’s Prix De West
Purchase Award in June noted that Chris has
participated in their invitation-only show for 21
years. We’ve been publishing him in Fine Art
Editions since 1983 and Chris was already a
highly-regarded maritime artist when we first
knocked on his door. Christopher Blossom’s long-term
market relevance and steady progression from an
admired maritime artist to an esteemed American
artist is a common trend among The Greenwich
Workshop Family of Artists.
Fine Art
Collectors expect a consistence of excellence in
vision, quality and reliability over great lengths
of time when they invest in the work of America’s
top artists. Fine Art Editions from The Greenwich
Workshop have delivered on that promise for nearly
40 years. The continued strong presence in
secondary-market trading of offset-lithographic
prints that we produced in the 1970s, through giclée
canvases created only last year, is a testament to
the regard for our Family of Artists and our Fine
Art Editions. We also want to make sure that we make
some noise about Bonnie Marris’ People’s Choice
Award at July’s Coeur D’Alene Auction in Reno.
Bonnie is the first female artist to ever win this
award.
The defining elements of this
heightened performance are the artists we work with
and the quality of the Editions we create. We do not
follow flash-in-the-pan trends, but rather seek out
artists who exhibit the hallmarks of longevity:
aptitude and passion combined with a work ethic that
will make use of and develop these gifts. We have
seen time and again how the inspired exploration of
a single subject or genre unveils a larger American
experience and generates a collector base that
transcends the expectations of a given genre.
We approach the creation our Fine Art Editions
with value, quality and longevity in mind as well.
The only thing better than owning one of our
reproductions would be to own the original painting
itself. We pay more for the creation of our editions
by using only the best papers, canvases and inks
because we craft our editions to last for decades.
Our production team works hand-in-hand with the
artist to ensure the fidelity of each edition’s
color to the original artwork. This causes our
production process to take a little longer, but is
one of the defining differences between a Greenwich
Workshop Fine Art Edition and a simple print.
One of our Fine Art Editions certainly costs
less than the tens or hundreds of thousands of
dollars that the original may cost. Yet, we are able
to maintain a rarity and exclusivity to possessing
them because the number we create is limited. Each
is signed by the artist verifying their
participation in the creation of and approval of the
quality of each and every Greenwich Workshop Fine
Art Edition.
Each artist was initially introduced so we also
want to make sure you take note of another young
woman who makes her Greenwich Workshop debut in this
Catalogue, Cristina Penescu. Those stunning black
and whites images
Desperation and
Cautious Observation
(pgs. 32-33) and the SmallWorks™
Within Reach
(pg. 14) are not
photographs but scratchboard paintings! If you don’t
believe it, we have posted videos of her creating
the piece, Desperation.
The vision, quality and long-term relevance and
value of The Greenwich Workshop Family of Artists
and Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Editions are what
separate our art from the rest, when décor is no
longer what adorns the walls of your home.
Sincerely, Scott Usher Publisher
and President
P.S. A reminder that
through this Catalogue, you will note the following
symbol “M” appearing beneath certain images. This
denotes images that are presented in a hand-crafted
Montgomery Frame.

The first
sight of buffalo ignites excitement within a
party of scouts. The lives of these men and
these animals are entwined together on the vast
map of the Great Plains. The arrival of the
buffalo will herald many celebrations. The
Creator has bestowed an answer to the tribe’s
prayers with a gift of rain and endless herds.
A season of
provisioning begins, as the resourceful Natives
prepare to utilize every part of the bison for
clothing, shelter, tools, weapons and food.
A continuance of
harmony and thanksgiving will propel the tribe
for another year. Or, is there a storm warning
on the horizon? — Bev Doolittle
It seems that with every
artist there are works that manage to make it
into private collections before they are
properly documented. Some of these can, in
hindsight, be rather important ones. They are
known to exist, but their whereabouts are a
mystery. As is often the case, in time, they
somehow, some way, some day reappear.
Bev
painted
The Arrival
in 1977 and sold it through the Carson Gallery
in Denver, Colorado, her originals distributor
at that time. The work’s trail ended there. Long
thought lost, the painting was recently
rediscovered! In the thirty-year period since
its rendering, Bev has produced fifty Fine Art
Editions, as well as seven books and folios of
collected works, all published by The Greenwich
Workshop. Until now, The Arrival remained elusive.
Available in print for the very first time,
it is one of the earliest works featuring the
rendering style Bev has become renowned for.
Storytelling is a hallmark of nearly all of her
compositions and
The Arrival
is no exception.
The palette and design are instantly
recognizable. Both are in service of the
eponymous “Doolittle narrative” which has shaped
the artist’s reputation.
There is no escaping the
implication of a “storm on the horizon.” Those
dark clouds immediately bring to mind the Native
American experience in North America. This is
storytelling through design at its finest.
The Arrival
is reproduced with an eye towards tradition but
with the most up-to-date technology. This Fine
Art Giclée is created on the highest quality
fine art textured paper. Deckled edges allow for
either a traditional or floating presentation of
the framed image.

“Since early in the 17th
century,” begins Liang, “when the horse was introduced to
the American Indian on the northern Plains, their life was
changed forever. The use of the horse for buffalo hunting
made the hunt much more efficient and provided the people
with a rich bounty. This exuberant scene shows a summer day
in the Blackfeet band camp during the 1870s, after the
buffalo scouts have located a large herd nearby. The men
gather to ready their buffalo horses, while women excitedly
prepare packhorses, travois and meat bags for the coming
chase! With this excitement also comes concern, for running
the wild herds over the broken country of the Western
prairies held a high degree of danger for the mounted
hunter. In the painting, a grandfather ties an eagle feather
on his grandson’s horsetail as a blessing of safety before
the run begins.”

Winter Windfall by John Buxton
Winner of
the Patron’s Choice Award at the 2009 Quest for the West
show at The Eitleljorg Museum in Indianapolis,
Winter Windfall
is a stunning winter landscape from John Buxton. A broken
and abandoned hay cart and its precious cargo of supplies is
discovered by these woodland Indians. The hay cart is not
designed for hauling supplies much less a trip down a
backwoods stream. What caused the settlers to decide to make
such an ill-prepared winter’s journey down such an arduous
path? Such questions certainly entered these warriors’
minds, but taking stock of the bounty they have come across
on this fine winter’s morning is the first order of
business.

Legend
of Geronimo by Howard
Terpning®
Collectors are surprised when
they discover that Howard Terpning has depicted so few
historically recognizable figures in his highlyprized
paintings of the Native American experience.
Legend of Geronimo is only the
second Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Edition that features
such an identifiable tribal leader.
Chief Joseph Rides to Surrender, released in 1982,
was the other.
Legend of Geronimo is the
second in our series of Personal Commission® Editions
celebrating 30 years of publishing the art of Howard
Terpning. This Personal Commission will be issued in both
paper and canvas, each edition size will be determined by
the number of orders we receive between September 1 and
October 15, 2010.
The Apache warrior was born “Goyathlay” (One Who Yawns) but
died Geronimo, a legend in his own time. In the 1850s, his
wife and three small children were slaughtered while he
traveled with others in his tribe to Old Mexico to trade.
His life became an arc of fierce defiance against soldiers
and the settlers who colonized Apache territory. It was the
Mexicans who called him “Geronimo,” Spanish for “Jerome.”
There were periods of relative peace for Geronimo, but those
were brief. He resisted attempts to move Apaches to the
barren San Carlos reservation and twice left with small
bands, once for ten years during which he conducted raids
against white settlements.
He kept 5,000 soldiers plus hundreds of Indian scouts busy
for five months chasing him across 1,645 miles until he
surrendered in Sonora, Mexico.
Enroute to the U.S., Geronimo escaped again. He surrendered
months later with a promise of a return to Arizona after a
brief imprisonment in Florida, a promise that was not kept.
After years of hard labor in Florida he was moved to Fort
Sill in Oklahoma Territory.
Geronimo lived long enough to appear as the legend himself
at fairs and parades, selling souvenirs. He dictated his
memoirs, which were published in 1906. He died at age 80 in
1909.

Morgan Weistling is
among several of the Greenwich Workshop Family of
Artists to be awarded the prestigious Prix De West
award. In fact, he (and Howard Terpning®) have won
the award twice! Morgan’s first Prix De West award
came in 2001 for
The Dance
and the second in 2008 for
Indian Stories. As Morgan relates, the model
for The Artist may one day
show in The Prix De West as well:
The idea for this painting came very naturally.
My daughter, Brittany, is following in her parents
footsteps and is quite the artist at 14. (Morgan’s
wife, Jo Ann, paints under the name J. Peralta).
She has posed for me many times, notably in The Dance. Here, she is a girl
set with kitchen tasks but has set them aside to
partake in her first love, painting. Although she
should be peeling those potatoes, she would rather
set up items from her mother's 1890s country kitchen
and paint a still life in watercolor. Behind her on
the cabinet, other paintings are pinned. I tried to
portray that intensity of young inspiration to be an
artist. It's an unstoppable force when given the
right encouragement.

While not common to the Great Plains, the summer
months do occasionally draw swarms of fireflies as
far west as the Rockies. When they did range west, a
visit by the
Little Star People
to a summer encampment was a treat for the entire
band. The magic of moonrise on a warm summer evening
became all the more spectacular when accompanied by
the dance of these blithe spirits.
The original is part of the permanent collection of

The Dream Fulfilled, Where the Love Light Shines by William S. Phillips
“It’s the holiday season of
December 1945 in a small town somewhere in the
U.S.,” says artist William S. Phillips. “The
celebration is even more special this year because
the war is finally over and the three generations of
the family I’ve been portraying in my previous
paintings If Only in My Dreams
and A Christmas
Leave, When Dreams ComeTrue
are finally reunited for good.”
The son, who has been fighting in the war, walks up
the steps to his grandparents’ home with his
fiancée, followed by the loyal dog that waited for
him in
If Only in My Dreams and
rode with him on his way to propose marriage in
A Christmas Leave. The
Beechcraft Staggerwing in the distance, the
classiest of classic planes, found years of post-war
service in civilian transport.
William S. Phillips completes one pilot’s story in
this seasonal, nostalgic painting from his American
Homefront Series in which the change in mood and
direction of the war is reflected at home as the
series progresses. Contact your authorized Greenwich
Workshop dealer for availability of his other Fine
Art Editions to complete your American Homefront

The

Looked out of the moon
And this is what he said,
“’Tis time that, now I’m getting up,
All babies went to bed.”
So goes the famous childhood nursery rhyme that
inspired this brilliant confection by artist Scott
Gustafson. This character climbs out of a
moon that is chock full of navigational aides, along
with his nocturnal companion. He just woke up and is
checking to be sure all the little ones on Earth are
tucked in for the night.
Maybe there’s a wee one under your roof who would

Father Christmas: The Workshop by Dean Morrissey
“We all know about Santa
Claus and his annual circumnavigation of the globe,”
says the artist. “It’s quite a feat by any standard.
But what is a bit less explored is what Santa does
the other 364 days of the year. All year long and
right up to Christmas Eve, Santa is a toymaker
extraordinaire. He’s up to his elbows in a labor of
love, turning out magical toys at a pace and of a
quality unparalleled in the world. With this
portrait, I wanted to depict the master craftsman
engaged in his work. Hearing the bell above the
door, he looks up to greet his visitor. Perhaps the
visitor is us, come to catch a glimpse of the making
of magic.”
Here at The Greenwich Workshop, the holiday season
doesn’t begin until we unwrap a box from artist Dean
Morrissey to reveal the year’s painting of Father
Christmas. Over the past ten years we have had the
pleasure of publishing Morrissey’s portraits of a
very real, wise and generous man that just happens
to be Santa Claus. In
Father Christmas:The Workshop,
he’s putting in a few hours after dinner, with a
couple of industrious elves for companionship and
help with the finishing touches. Why not let this
picture of a twinkle-eyed craftsman decorate your
home for the holidays this year?

"The words coming out of this angel’s mouth are
purposely provocative and designed to make you
wonder 'What does that mean?' It’s Latin, beatus est
pisciculus, meaning 'Blessed is the little fish.'
Floating fish symbolize the magic all around us and
they are blessed little things themselves, to bring
this magic into our lives. Is the angel blessing the
fish or the fish blessing the angel? The fish is a
symbol I frequently use and this painting was meant
as my 'thank-you' for a lot of the magic in my
life."

Recently artist Steve Hanks has been working on a
series of paintings he refers to as “There are
Angels Among Us” wherein he explores the idea of
guardian angels in our lives. These may be angels of
inspiration, angels of beauty, angels who provide
direction or protection in our lives and the spirits
of angels who lift us and sometimes even carry us.
Mostly he is creating a tribute to the great role
models and influences in his own life.
Boundless has a compelling composition. Her
gesture like a metaphor for the cross, this joyous
beauty leaps into a shaft of sunlight on an
otherwise dim and foggy beach. Viewers are left to
wonder, will she come down or is she on her way,
eternally up? This very limited Fine Art Edition
will bring inspiration to any room in your home and
a gift of light to someone you love.

Figures in Light
by Steve Hanks A Special Collection of Figurative
Nudes
Discerning collectors will appreciate these
signed and numbered limited edition Fine Art
Giclée Canvases of the human form. Hanks’
exceptional technique makes watercolor the
perfect medium for this subject.
“Once upon a time . . . .” The inspiration for this
mysterious beauty in the wood comes from the classic
fairy tale The Frog Prince wherein the most
beautiful princess in the land loses her little gold
ball down a well and promises a frog he can be her
dearest companion if only he retrieves the it. To
make this short story shorter, he does and she
reneges on her promise until her father, the king,
seizing the opportunity of a teaching moment, makes
her keep her promise. The lovely princess holds her
nose to befriend the frog but after a few days, she
actually does like her new friend and
kisses him. He turns into the prince he was before a
witch cast a spell on him and the two live happily
ever after.
Foremost fantasy artist James C. Christensen
captures the precise moment of truth where the
delicate fingertips of the princess holds her most
precious object and contemplates the cost of keeping
it, against the cost of sharing her love with the
world. Luckily for that frog, she made the right
choice.

Ex Votos: Little
Expressions of Gratitude
by Cassandra Barney
Life is an
ongoing series of miracles. Everyone has something
to be thankful for or someone they should be saying
“thank you” to. Prayers, large and small, are
answered daily, sometimes without us even knowing.
Ex Votos are fine art offerings
commissioned as the result of an answered prayer and
displayed to acknowledge an appreciation for it
having happened. Today, they are most widely known
as the folk art works created on tin and found in
shrines across Mexico.
“These little artworks are painted out of gratitude
for the miracles, protection and prayers answered
not only in my life, but for many of us,” says
artist Cassandra Barney. “In conceiving these, it
didn’t seem that I was illustrating ideas, but
sharing and exchanging them. Some are events that
have happened in my life. Others are ideas that have
been shared with me. Every mother has experienced
the elation of holding their child for the first
time and savoring that new-born baby smell. Each
time I see Never Felt Joy Like That Before
it is a chance to savor that feeling againand say
“thank you” for letting me experience this miracle.”
Each Ex Votos celebrates the exceptional
nature of the common and the uncommon: friendship,
love, life, family and self. They recognize the
divine nature of those things. This collection is
styled with the look of the Mexican tin-paneled
works and they are designed to be hung in groupings.
As gifts, they are the perfect message at the
perfect time. Life is full of blessings and
Cassandra Barney’s Ex Votos give us the
opportunity to share our recognition of this with
beauty and grace. All canvases mounted on archival
Gatorboard®.
Fuel State
Critical - Outcome in Doubt by William S. Phillips
The
Raider’s carrier task force (TF-16) was spotted by
Japanese vessels well before they arrived at the
intended departure point so the Raiders were forced
to launch from the carrier Hornet earlier
than planned. Fuel calculations now fell short
of the planned amount needed for their destination,
Chuchow, China. Their arrival in China would
be at night, rather than during daylight as
originally planned. Fortunately, sailors on
the Hornet
filled ten, five-gallon gas cans and passed
them hand-to-hand to each aircraft, providing the
fuel that made the difference between pitching at
sea and coming down over land.
In
this, William S. Phillips most recent historical
documentation on the Doolittle Raid, General
Doolittle and his crew in aircraft 02344 break into
a momentary area of clear sky. The last rays of
sunlight bring only slight hope that they will
survive their ordeal, as their fuel levels continue
to fall and the hour of landfall is uncertain.
Fuel State Critical—Outcome in
Doubt is countered-signed by four of the
Doolittle Raiders. The signing of the print took
place at their April 2010 reunion in
Dayton, OH. They include the Crew 1 co-pilot of
Doolittle’s plane (the B-25 depicted here), Colonel
Richard E. Cole, Lt. Colonel Robert L. Hite of Crew
16, Major Thomas Carson Griffin of Crew 9 and Staff
Sergeant David J. Thatcher of Crew 7.
Phillips’ Personal Commission Edition of the
previous Raiders Fine Art Edition,

The art by Astronaut
and artist Alan Bean depicts, for the first time in
history,
a world other than our Earth, painted by an artist
who actually went there.
The
scientists on earth were concerned that the lunar
samples we would be collecting on the Apollo
missions could be tainted by our spacesuit gloves as
we picked them up and stored them. They
devised a small metal “Environmental Sample
Container” and asked us to put small rocks and dirt
in it using only our shovel. This allowed us
to insure we never contacted that sample with our
gloves and that it remained stored in the lunar
environment, in pristine condition, until we got
home.
Pete had practiced placing dirt and small rocks in
the Environmental Sample Container on Earth with the
small shovel, while I held it steady. It was a quick
and easy task.
Of
course, once we were on the lunar surface, in the
reduced gravity, the whole exercise got far more
complicated, and fun. Pete had no problem picking up
some loose dirt and rocks. As he swung the end
of the shovel towards me all went well, as well.
But as he slowed the shovel down to carefully place
the sample in the Container, the dirt did not slow
down. It just seemed to float out of the
shovel and slowly fly all over the place, me
included. It was fun to watch objects,
including dirt, move so slowly in one sixth gravity,
and we were laughing at the mishap.
Pete moved the shovel, with dirt and rocks,
much more slowly on his next attempt and he
deposited it in the sample container you see in my
right glove. I then carefully put on the
lid you see dangling below. It was lined with
indium, a malleable and easily fusible metal, so
when I screwed on the cap it made a perfect seal.
When the scientist back on earth compared these
samples with the ones we collected with our gloves
they, and we, were elated. There was no
difference.

Little Old Mission by the Sea, Circa 1940 by June Carey
Founded by the Spanish in
1771, the San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission is
the crown jewel of Carmel-by-the-Sea and one of June
Carey’s favorite subjects to paint.
“I have, over the years, amassed a wonderful
collection of reference on the mission from my many
trips and research,” says June. “Today, the
buildings and their gardens are beautiful, but when
you look at photos taken 70 years ago, there was
even more magic. The facades weren’t as restored as
they are today, so the basilica and out buildings
have a bit more of that character you’d expect from
structures as old as these. You also had the chance
to see more of the buildings then than you can
today, especially from some of the most pleasing
angles. I am tempted at times, when I visit,
to make the request of cutting back some of that
lush growth to reveal more of the Mission, but I
have a good idea of what the response would be to
that!”

The Intruder, Angel's Camp, California, 1849 by Mian Situ
The California Gold Rush
brought fortune seekers from around the world to
isolated mining camps around the Sierra Nevadas.
Occasionally, the aroma of the next meal would
entice some of the local wildlife to visit a
forty-niner camp as well. Most would-be miners had
never spent an evening in the wilderness before
heading to California, so encountering a hungry or
angry California Grizzly was a first. The only
certainty here is that a tumultuous uproar is about
to occur, the outcome of which could fall in
anyone’s favor.
This painting is one of three that Situ introduced
at the Autry’s 2010 Masters of the American West
Show for which he received the Gene Autry Memorial
Award. Mian Situ’s epic depictions of California’s
“Eastward Expansion” sit side by side with the
Westward Expansion works of Moran, Bierstadt and
Russell in both their historical importance and
artistic greatness.

Radiant Repose by Daniel Smith
“A slight breach in the moisture laden cloud cover
allows the sun to penetrate with its radiant
warmth,” relates Daniel Smith. “The cougar’s damp
coat emits an ethereal glow as moisture vaporizes
into the silent wilderness. The rocky outcrop
creates an excellent vantage point for the resting
mountain lion as he surveys his domain. My
home borders the Yellowstone ecosystem and has a
healthy population of mountain lions. It is a
rare thrill to experience these elusive predators in
the wild.”
There is a return to things that radiate the
greatness of our national heritage. One of our most
renowned treasures is the American wilderness.
Radiant Repose captures the
essence of the untamed beauty that that makes the
wilderness wild. The painting was created for the
2009 Couer D’Alene Auction. Dan Smith is one of the
few artists invited to present new works to the
high-end collectors that attend, a testament to the
stature of this American wildlife artist.

Cristina Penescu was born in Bucharest, Romania,
1988. Her family relocated to California when
Cristina was a year old. Since early childhood, her
passion for art and nature was very apparent. As a
child she loved to collect books about animals and
spend her time outside in nature.
Cristina has experimented with a variety of media
and styles and recently has made the transition to
realistic wildlife art, which she feels has always
been her true calling in life. She enjoys painting a
wide variety of wildlife subjects, however wild
canids, especially wolves, hold a special place in
her heart and have been a recurring theme in her art
since childhood.
She has experience working in a variety of media,
however, she prefers acrylic and scratchboard. Her
artwork is very detail oriented and she aims to
bring the viewer an up close, intimate look at
nature. She hopes to inspire the world through her
depictions of the natural beauty around us.
Cristina is currently at the beginning of her career
as a wildlife fine artist but has already begun to
carve a niche for herself in the field. She recently
was accepted as a Signature Member of the
world-renowned Artists for Conservation organization
and is also a member of Marwell International
Wildlife Art Society.
Cautious Observation by Cristina Penescu
“Cautious Observation
is a scratchboard portrait of a wolf dog that I was
blessed to share my life with,” relates Cristina.
“He possessed an almost childlike curiosity for the
world around him. One day, while testing some
photographic lighting equipment outside, he
approached me, curious as to what I was doing but
uncertain about the new, large equipment I was
working with. This was his reaction to everything he
considered new. With this portrait, my goal was to
capture that inner conflict between curiosity and
uncertainty as if he is examining the viewer for the
first time, trying to decide whether or not to
approach.”

Desperation
by Cristina Penescu
“Desperation
carries a message that, as a lover of wildlife and
nature, I wish I did not need to voice. This piece
was created as a direct response to the ongoing
hatred and persecution that plagues these beautiful
canids. Is this wolf crying out in defiance? Anger?
Anguish? That is for the viewer to decide.”

“These two paintings aren't intended to be a diptych
in the sense that there is a continuum or
inter-action between them,” says wildlife artist Guy
Combes. “More so, I wanted to convey the essence of
these formidable foes of the plains separately but
'mirroring' each other, too. The monolithic
cold dark colors of the buffalo contrast with the
warm energy of the lion's head and mane. There's
something about the power and carriage of each
animal that suggests similarities between them.”
Guy Combes was most recently featured at the Society
of Animal Artists exhibition and sale in San Diego,
California where his painting Leopard Lounge
was a show favorite. He is also actively involved in
efforts to prevent the Tanzanian government from
building a road across the northern migration routes
of the Serengeti National Park. To learn how you can

Moonbear Listens to the
Earth
by Stephen Lyman
“Steve painted this in honor of my Native
American-inspired music and my dedication to the
larger circle of life. ‘Moonbear’ is the name of my
recording company and this image is its symbol. I’ve
always had a place in my heart for this beautiful
painting.”
― Andrea Lyman
This Greenwich Workshop Anniversary edition features
a bear, one of Steve's most-memorable yet
rarely-painted subjects. The native Miwok word for
the grizzly bear is the source of the name
"Yosemite," which was the artist's favorite place on
Earth. The quiet serenity of this, one of Steve's
few images featuring the bear, is a reminder of our
fellowship with both the natural and animal world
which honor the memory and legacy of the artist.

“The scene is my
favorite wolf-viewing position near our
campsite in Alaska,” said the artist. “I
always think of this stream as “gold creek”
because a legend still persists that gold
was discovered here, and a miner’s shack in
the vicinity still survives to feed the
myth! I watched as these two adults
separated from the pack to hunt and fish and
one of them did get lucky with a Dolly
Varden trout.”
This year marks
twenty-five years of Bonnie Marris Fine Art
Editions from The Greenwich Workshop so it
is serendipitous and fitting that her newest
release is a subject close to her very first
limited edition with us in 1985. In that
edition, titled The
Fishing Lesson, a mother wolf watches
her two cubs at the rocky edge of water as
they peer down at what could be dinner if
only they figure out how to catch it.
Flash forward 25
years to Lucky Catch,
the artist’s 2010 Masters of the American
West entry at the Autry National Center. We
see two full grown wolves flourishing in
their natural element with grace and poise,
having mastered the challenges of life in
the wild. We couldn’t think of a warmer
metaphor for the artist we have published
and loved for all these years.

“Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness” as “inalienable rights” is a
concept that could only be born in a place where the
land was abundant and its bounty teeming. Nothing is
more American than wild horses ranging the West and
wolf packs prowling the forested wilderness. Yet,
these symbols of all that is wild and free are not
only as threatened today as they have ever been, but
are being rounded up and disposed of in a fashion
they have never before had to fear: from the air.
In
Judy Larson’s Flight, a
herd of wild horses races away from the droning
aircraft circling above. This method of rounding-up
mustangs such as these is part of the program to
further cull the 33,000 horses still living in the
wild in 10 Western states. Another 30,000 are
already in captivity. The Bureau of Land Management
wants to cut this total number of horses by half!
Judy has hidden within this herd another who has
even more to fear from above, an Alaskan wild wolf.
Exploiting a loophole for “predator control” in the
Federal Airborne Hunting Act of 1972, Alaskan
hunters have found a way around the
Congressionally-banned practice of hunting animals
like the wolf from the air. Many hunters consider
the practice, at a minimum, unsportsmanlike, since
it violates the "fair chase" ethic of hunting. More
significantly, they consider it inhumane since
airborne gunmen rarely get a clean (i.e., relatively
painless) kill.

Wild in the Country by Judy Larson®
Judy’s newest Greenwich Workshop Fine Art edition is
a delightful rendering of a wild foal and his
dam. Basking both in the sunlight and in his
mother’s love, this spring arrival celebrates his
wildness and his joy of living. Nothing heralds
springtime quite like new little ones born in the
wild. Curious and eager to explore, there is still
the desire to remain close by mother’s side,
protected and adored.
Can
you see the camouflaged image in
Wild in the Country? Judy often conceals
another image within her paintings. Sometimes it is
a Native American legendary figure, sometimes an
animal spirit and sometimes, as in this painting,
she includes a companion species. Take a close look
at the mother’s hide on the left. Joining this new
foal is a hidden wolf pup who is equally ready to
celebrate the new world around him!

Horse Indian Wolf The Hidden Pictures of Judy
Larson by Kathleen V. Kudlinski
Can you find the camouflaged
images in Judy Larson’s artwork? The paintings in
this book have hidden images and the stories that
accompany them will give you the clues. Often the
concealed image is of a companion, but sometimes it
is of an animal that shares the same fate. For
example, the Alaskan wolf and the wild horse, both
hunted to near extinction; or the great bald
eagle—the spirit of freedom—hidden within the
painting of a wild horse. Other paintings tell
Indian legends and stories of great Native American
leaders. The artist’s favorite companions in hidden
images are the horse and the wolf, her two most
beloved species.
Filled with natural history facts and the Native
American way of relating to animals and the
environment, the lively free verse by Kathleen
Kudlinski gives readers clues to finding the hidden
images. Two themes converge in these pictures and
stories: the lives of animals in the wild and the
fate of Native Americans who lived in harmony with
the natural world. The artist’s spectacular
scratchboard painting technique is perfect for
telling these stories within stories and portraying
the beauty of the wilderness and the animals who
call it home.
