Howdy %%FIRST:Partner%% WESTERN LIFESTYLE AND ART
Experience the lifestyle of a 1920s gentleman's working ranch through a guided tour of the Ranch House, view the featured art exhibition and the Native American Collection in the Gallery and take a stroll around the well-kept grounds and outbuildings and Little Goose Creek Lodge. Colorado Meets Wyoming: Landscapes of the American West is the Bradford Brinton Memorial & Museum's 2006 summer exhibition, featuring the works of Lorenzo Chavez, Paul Waldum and Dan Young. Three distinctive views of the West are being presented here by three talented contemporary American landscape painters working in oil and pastel. The works in the exhibition reflect the artists' passion about the western landscape, its colors, textures and light and its constantly changing moods. Many of the paintings were done on location around Big Horn, Sheridan and in the Bighorn Mountains. The Ranch House, Museum and exhibition are open to the public from May 27 through September 4, daily 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., located 239 Brinton Road, out of Big Horn, WY.
