He is at the top of the heap when it comes to putting a brush to perfect anatomy of a horse. “In this piece, the horse’s sliding stop is so good,” Godby said of this work, gar- nered from a photograph taken many years ago at a rodeo he attended in the Southwest. He wanted to capture the professionalism of the cow- boy and the horse. Schmidling called upon Albertson to find a striking background. Albertson agreed that one of his most popular photographs of the mountains could be the perfect comple- ment to the painting. “This is one of my best images of the Three Sisters,” he said. The photograph displays the rich, verdant forests sur- rounding Sisters Country with the brilliant snow-covered Sisters in dramatic contrast to both the forest and the deep blue sky. Albertson’s photography is collected worldwide, from heart-stopping panoramic landscapes to passive time- lapses of his favorite water- ways, guaranteed to cause an emotional response from viewers and collectors. From both artists’ con- tributions, the poster is a near-gluttony of color. Their respect for the artistry of the other contributor is almost palpable. Schmidling, a 50-year veteran of graphic design from a national company to Georgia Pacific and Crown Zellerback, produced the final product with print addi- tions and oversight.
