NICHOLAS S. FIRFIRES (LISTED CALIFORNIA ARTIST 1917-1990). COWBOY ON A BUCKING HORSE, 1960, 13&amp;quot; x 9-1/2&amp;quot; sight size watercolor (framed size: 23&amp;quot; x 19&amp;quot;) signed/dated lower left. This biography from the Archives of AskART: Portraying western scenes in oil painting and watercolor comes to Nicholas Firfires, directly from experiences of having lived the western life of a cowboy, riding the range and breaking horses. He was a descendant of California vaqueros. He was born in Santa Barbara, California, and worked on his family ranch near Santa Margarita and on other ranches in Santa Barbara county. As a child, he showed great interest and skill in drawing animals, especially horses, and after graduating from Santa Maria high school, he attended the Art Center School and the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. In 1941, he enlisted in the Army and was with the Combat Engineers in Europe, where he did many illustrations for military publications and also portraits of Army personnel. After the war, he opened a studio in Santa Barbara and illustrated for Western magazines while working on easel paintings. His illustrations included &amp;quot;Buck Jones,&amp;quot; a popular comic strip and &amp;quot;Gene Autry&amp;quot;. He had his first one-man show in 1960, and was so successful that he turned exclusively to fine art painting, depicting both historic and contemporary Western scenes. A particular focus has been the Spanish influence on California culture in a style that is Realist and Impressionist. In 1969, he won the silver Medal Award for watercolor in the Fourth Annual Exhibit of the Cowboy Artists of America at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. He was a founding member of the Cowboy Artists of America. Source: &amp;quot;Contemporary Western Artists&amp;quot; by Harold and Peggy Samuels Cody Old West Show and Auction catalogue, June 2002
