THE SPIRIT OF THE WEST,
by Kay Bjork, Latitude magazine,
Winter 2007
"...
more than an artist -- he is a historian,
a story teller, a time machine that
transports you to a time and place
and people through his accurate,
sensitive and masterful art."Open

HOSTAGE
TO MONTANA, by Jo-Ann Swanson,
Southwest Art, June
1995
"Drawing
is essential to his work.'I've always
been a draftsman. Drawing is the
foundation, the underlying form
that supports the paint, like the
concrete and studs that support
the building of a house.'"
IN
SEARCH OF REALISM, by Shirley
Behrens,
Art of the West, Jan/Feb
1989
"Theodore
van Soelen said that 'It is the
pictures themselves that tell all
there is to say about what an artist
has accomplished.' I don't want
to be mute for lack of effort. Rather,
it is my hope that my effort will
speak well of this life, home, family
and friends."
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."
FROM
THE HEART OF THE WEST by
Kathe McGehee, Sept/Oct 1981
"(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."
