Colorado Experience: Western American Art

The famous Oscar Wilde saying "Life imitates art more than art imitates life" hold little truth in Colorado. With the magnificent mountains and bucolic landscapes located across the state, artists and pioneers could not help but replicate the sights before them. From the documentary art of early expeditions, to the celebratory art of the iconic bronco busting cowboy, discover the backstory of 250 years of Western American Art.

Sort of upset that no one ever talks about Howard Rawlins who was a wonderful wildlife artist living in the Wild Cat canyon in North Morgan County. He was a part of the Audobon Society documenting the local flora and fauna specifically birds.

I highly doubt God smiled on Western expansion. I certainly hope he was giving the opinion of others and not his own.
