IN SEARCH OF REALISM, by Shirley Behrens,
Art of the West
, Jan/Feb 1989

TRACKS OF TIME, by Vivian A. Paladin, May 1987

"At first the emptiness is intimidating (on location, old buffalo jump), but gradually you begin to visualize the action and noise, the clicking and rattling of dew claws and heavy hooves, the commingling of the musky odors of beast, trampled sage and alkali. The process begins on location where you see it and experience it in your heart and then you begin to record it in thumbnail notes and studies."

"(Experience), historical research, and artistic imagination allow the artist to envision a scene as it was, and to portray it authentically in an honest, head and heartfelt statement."
