VERSO
Signed

The artist writes, “The brave souls in the 19th century who ventured into the ‘big sky of the Great American West were led by equally ‘big dreams.’

“Whether they were hoping to gain riches through the lucrative fur trade, or seeking to quench their thirst for adventure as freedom-loving mountain men, the call of this vast territory proved to be irresistible.

Big Sky, Big Dreams captures a moment in the early morning as these frontiersmen plot the day’s travel. One thing they know for certain, that their stamina and survival skills will be tested during what will be a rugged and dangerous journey.”
