Jim Duff~ Early River Gallery.My Stores Logo *About The Artist: Alan Bean, Apollo XII astronaut, commander of Skylab II and artist--was born in 1932 in Wheeler, Texas. On space voyages, his artist's eye and talent enabled him to document impressions of the moon and space to be preserved later on canvas. He retired from NASA in 1981. He says about his work; "I am fortunate enought to have seen the sights no other artist ever has and hope to communicate these experiences through my art." About this piece: Jim Irwin, Colonel, United States Air Force, had a brilliant but challenging career. His is a story of difficult challenges met, and with hard work and perserverance, overcome. After battling illness and severe injuries for ten years, Jim Irwin found himself standing on the Moon. After leaving NASA,Jim authored a number of books about his life and about his experiences.He gave me(Alan Bean) one of those books as a gift and I treasure it today. He inscribed "Decisions determine destination!Your grateful brother, Jim Irwin,Apollo 15. "The space program represents what is truly great with America," says artist Alan Bean. "When I was an astronaut I felt each day that I had accepted a responsibility to do the right thing professionally in everything that I did. I was not alone in this as I saw this 'right stuff' code everywhere. It was a good feeling to know that all those around me were dedicated to making our nation's space exploration effort as good as it could possibly be. This red, white and blue feeling and theme carried over into everything we did. If everyone at NASA cut ourselves I believe we would all bleed red, white and blue." *About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.

Jim Duff~ Early River GalleryMy Stores Logo *About The Artist: John Buxton John was born and raised in the small town of Oxford, NC. From childhood, he excelled at drawing and painting. After two years of general college in his home state, he traveled to Los Angeles to earn his BPA degree in illustration from the Art Center College of Design. John was a successful illustrator for 31 years, working in Detroit, Cleveland and finally Pittsburgh where he met and married a cute receptionist named Noralee. During this period, Buxton worked for several advertising studios but in 1983, he formed John Buxton Illustration, Inc. On of his clients was the National Geographic Society (book division and World magazine) where John developed a fascination with their dedication to documentation and research, insuring that all artwork was as correct as possible. This impressed on him the realization that most of his adverting illustration had been "throw away art" and perhaps there was another type of art that may be held in higher regard. Thusly, in 1994, Buxton put aside the requests of Art Directors to begin painting subjects more to his interests and hopefully of more validity. He wasn't quite sure, however, with so much to choose from, just which subject matter he was going to paint. John soon began exhibiting his new oil paintings, placing two works in the Birds in Art Show at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. These two paintings were later reproduced in The Best of Wildlife Art, Volume 2 by Rachael R. Wolf, published by Northlight Books. John also tried the National Park Service's annual competition, Art for the Parks placing in their Top 100 and included in their traveling show. The Society of Animal Artists elected him to membership and invited him to exhibit in their national snows. He also exhibited with the American Academy of Equine Artists before settling into his true niche-Historical Art. Buxton's historical images of the 18th century depicting scenes from the birth of our Nation, allowing "witness" to momentous events or experiencing everyday life on the frontier allows American history to come to life. His compassion and enthusiasm for historical accuracy has propelled him to great heights of recognition. Numerous museums and historical sites permanently display his extensively researched paintings. Several documentary files have chosen his art to enhance their programs. A program, using John's paintings to inspire students with our heritage, was developed on disc to be distributed to schools and teachers. John's paintings have been featured within scores of genre magazines. Feature articles have appeared in US Art magazine, Westsylvania magazine, America's First Freedom and more recently, Art of the West magazine in its January/February 2006 issue featuring John's paintings and insight into their creation. The Artists Magazine's annual Art Competition awarded Buxton's painting, How Many Beaver? first place in the 2005 Portrait/Figure division from over 4,000 entries. It was featured on the cover in December. In the part, most of John's art was painted as private commissions. He endeavors to produce more paintings each year for select shows, such as The Masters Invitational at the Autry Museum in Burbank, CA, the miniature show at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa and the miniature show at Settlers West Gallery in Tucson. This year, John will also exhibit in the Eiteljorg Museum's Quest for the West show in Indianapolis. He was recently accepted into membership of The Oil Painters of America. He lives in Pennsylvania with his wife Noralee. They have two children, Bryan and Megan and will soon be blessed with two new grandchildren.

He is alone and has stopped on his water route long enough to build a fire, have a bit to eat and drink, maybe even to dry items that have gotten wet along the way. This is the 18th century—somewhere. Is he English… or their enemy, the French? We cannot see enough of his flintlock to tell if it is of French or English design. He appears to be a trader, but doesn’t have much with him. The cloth near his leg reveals his goods: silver trade items. His pistol is fully cocked; is he fearful? He has no furs and his Algonquin canoe isn’t large enough for many anyway. His mismatched paddles might have come from two different Indian tribes. Could this man be the English trader, John Frasier, as he escaped downriver from the French soldiers at Venango—his trading post on the Allegheny River—in 1752? The French had come down from what is now Canada into the Ohio Valley, along the Allegheny River, to rid the region of English influence. They confiscated Frasier’s trading post and a blacksmith shop. Fraser lost all his trade goods but escaped capture. *About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.

Visit John's Official Homepage at: www.buxtonart.com *About This Piece: The Native People of the Eastern Woodlands built two types of canoes: dug-outs, fashioned from tree trunks, and more lightweight canoes made of bark, preferably birch since it was easier to form. The men in The Agile Bark Canoe are in hunting canoes of a style attributed to the Passamaquoddy¯but perhaps these Indians traded for them, as was done frequently. They were as light as an autumn leaf upon water, with the ability to navigate rivers, shallow streams, marshes and moderate rapids. Being extremely light enabled easy portage between waterways and yet they were capable of carrying heavy loads. A canoe this size (12 feet long by 30 inches wide at its center) could be lifted with one hand and was very stable when fully loaded. The bark canoe was fast and infinitely more versatile than any small craft of the European settlers. *About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.

The Inspiration Growing up in Pensacola, Florida, Denise Sansing was taught by her mother Fran not only to appreciate fine things but also how to make them, and the legacy of that early training is the repertoire of distinctive and elegant designs Denise creates today for her own company. The American Dream Whether trekking through Europe searching out beautiful new fabrics and trims or rollerblading her way through 12-hour days at her company's new manufacturing facility in McAllen, Texas, designer Denise Sansing has parlayed a love for beautiful things, an artist's eye for the unusual and a lot of hard work into the quintessential American Dream. The intricately designed and elegant pillows that have become the hallmark of Sweet Dreams have also become collector's items and long-term investments - truly a prized possession that the discriminating, discerning, demanding customer will treasure for a lifetime - an heirloom to be passed on. Denise likens her creations to the Victorian crazy quilt that was one of the company's first products. "The concept of incorporating all those different fabrics, putting on one's own decorative stitches like a little spider in the corner, along with the date - it's the personal documentation that gives value," she says. Today, with nationwide representation, worldwide sales and new design and production facilities in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, the company is considered by many to set the standard for fine decorative accessories for the home.

Thank you. Jim Duff~ Early River GalleryMy Stores Logo *About The Artist: Quite simply, Howard Terpning is one of the most lauded painters of Western art. His awards are so numerous and he is honored with them so often, that the list is too long to present.Why such praise? Passion, compassion, devotion and respect for his subject matter, extraordinary talent in palette and brushstroke, an exceptional ability to evoke emotion both in his paintings and from those viewing them--all this and more has made Terpning the "Storyteller of the Native American." *About This Piece: This is another tight grouping of three men similar to The Long Shot, with approximately the same scale of the figures in relation to the surrounding area. This type of composition can tell a story very well and the viewer can see the story immediately. These three Cheyenne warriors have been in a battle with the cavalry and in the aftermath of the conflict they were able to find trophies on the ground that they prized highly. One man wears a cavalry hat, another has found a dispatch case which will no doubt be converted into something more to his liking, and the third man has a bugle, which will give him bragging rights. Finding trophies on the field of battle is something that has gone on since battles were fought and this is my interpretation of such an experience. *About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.

Passion, compassion, devotion and respect for his subject matter, extraordinary talent in palette and brushstroke, an exceptional ability to evoke emotion both in his paintings and from those viewing them--all this and more has made Terpning the "Storyteller of the Native American." *About This Piece: “I once read an account of a Cheyenne warrior who painted his body and his horse’s body entirely blue,” says Howard Terpning. “Just imagine the startling effect that must have had on his enemies as he charged them in battle. That description gave me the idea for the title (which seemed obvious). Adding the warrior’s son in the painting felt logical and gave the picture a higher level of human interest. To have listened in on the father and son conversation as this warrior prepared himself for battle would have been something.” As we made the selection of this painting to reproduce, it occurred to us that this is the first Terpning work we have published that focused so directly on the relationship between a father and a son. It surprised us that there were actually so few paintings he had done on the subject. We think that makes this release kind of special. By the way, Howard’s son Steven modeled for the boy. The other unique aspect of this release is its physical size. It is larger than a SmallWorks™, but is still of a size that compliments the intimate nature of the story. *About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.
