Window on the West "Demystifying the Masters" with Jenness Cortez, (Episode 10)

I worked on creating this painting for over two years. It documents exactly 200 years of the American West’s history--from 1804 when Jefferson dispatched Lewis and Clark’s expedition, to 2004 and the passing of our first truly western president, Ronald Reagan. After you watch this video segment, please take a few minute to watch the other interesting episodes in my “Demystifying the Masters” series in which I honor more artists of the American West, like Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, George Catlin, Albert Bierstadt, Winslow Homer and Frank Tenney Johnson.
