Here are a few more recent acquisitions. I really enjoy the unusual works that depict everyday life back in the day. Stagecoaches often used teams of mules rather than horses as is the case with this particular oil painting that Nick created after joining the "Cowboy Artists of America" of which he was a founding member.


This second oil painting depicts a cattle buyer checking out the herd and is parleying the particulars with a trail boss. I've loved this painting since I first saw it!

This watercolor was done in 1958 and is very similar to one of my other recently acquired works by Nick. I truly enjoy the action that he was able to bring to life in depicting broncos and other subject matter!
