Waiting for the Grand Entry

Every rodeo begins with a grand entry as the contestants and other riders follow the flag bearers in a serpentine course across the arena. At a junior rodeo in Cody, artist James Bama spotted Kenny Claybaugh waiting for the grand entry and was struck by the colorful combination of the yellow slicker, American flag and the dark glasses. Regarded as one of the sport’s top pickup men, Claybaugh worked the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada, among many others. It is the pickup man’s duty to rescue a rider from a pitching bronc after the required seconds have elapsed and the horn is blown to signal a completed ride. It is a highly responsible task demanding skill and nerve, as a misstep can result in a rider’s falling and perhaps being trampled or slammed against an ungiving fence.The pickup horse must also be well trained so that it does not fear moving in close to the bronc’s flying hoofs and does not shy away as pickup man and bronc rider reach for one another.

Children of the Raven
by Frank McCarthy

Grimly prepared, a well-armed party of Crow Indians advances across a mountainside overlooking a beautiful river valley. The Crow called themselves Absaroke, in loose translation "the Raven People." In the late 1700s, the Crow moved into some of the valleys around the Rocky Mountains. Their hunting grounds were rich with game, and so desirable that the Sioux and Blackfeet tribes regularly came to raid and hunt. The Crow had to be in constant readiness to defend their lands against superior enemy numbers.

Artist Frank C. McCarthy created heroic images of the American West that have gained legions of admirers among art lovers and critics alike. The Greenwich Workshop is proud to have published his art for decades. Whether his subjects are Native Americans, mountain men, cavalry or cowboys, McCarthy's paintings have an intensity that draws viewers immediately into the canvas.
