This Auction is for an Original Ink Sketch & Watercolor on Paper by Cowboy Artist John Steele. When I acquired 3 pieces by Mr. Steele in 2004 I was told that he had been a cowboy on the Tejon Ranch in the mountains of Kern County California (near Bakersfield) his whole life. He had died and his family was selling his artwork. I liked the rustic feel of his work and the rough wood frames that matched them perfectly. I just really loved the idea of some old cowboy out sketching on the ranch in his spare time and creating art that really captures the feel of the ranch and its inhabitants. That is the story as it was related to me... I do not know the age of the artwork but I wouldn't be surprised if it was from the 1960's or earlier. Here are the Details: Title: Long Drive Medium: Ink Sketch on Paper with a small bit of watercolor to blend and shade Dimensions: 16"X19" with the rustic wood frame Signed: John Steele Exceptions: Some fading on mat, rustic frame, paper on back of frame torn or missing...artwork is excellent condition If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact me. I will buy special boxes and materials for the shipping to protect the sketch and will ship insured. Thank you for your interest in this beautiful and unusual artwork.
