transfer in elegant detail the
exact action of a cowboy and
his mount, down to creases in
the cowboy’s Wranglers that
are part of the cowboy tradi-
tion. 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. He is
zealous about placement and
