Real nice work.  Is he?? I noticed there were no women in his paintings but some just had two guys.  ;) I guess alot of western artist don't include women in their paintings. 

I really like the painting on the bookjacket.  What style is this?  Norman Rockwell for the West.  I didn't mean that as an insult.

You live in an artsy place FRONTRANGER?

        I think you would call him a water colorist.  Norman Rockwell was an illustrator.

        That white horse is simply breathtaking...If you have ever painted with water color, you will know, how hard it is.

I wonder if anyone would be interested in obtaining copies signed by BOTH Annie Proulx and William Matthews. They would be $50 each. I'll try to get more information...

Yes, I live in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. A lot of artists are here.

I will go over to the gallery sometime this week and browse through the book. I received a preliminary notice of publication, so the book is not officially out yet.

Rodney tells me that William Matthews illustrated the first edition of Close Range, the book that has Brokeback Mountain in it.

At this link is a list of all his books, including Close Range:
