PROVENANCE
Private collection, Bridgewater, Connecticut

The artist reflecting upon locales he painted during his life remarked, “Wyoming is fairly arid in most places and lack of humidity – atmosphere’ to a painter – results in sharp edges, even at a distance, which gives objects a photographic appearance.… My stay in the Yukon was too short to form an opinion; besides this area is too remote for regular work. But in Alberta, with its scenic grandeur and its remarkable wealth of big-game species, I felt that I had found at last the land which I had been seeking.”
