Artwork Featuring Hats

[Hurricane Jack]

I really enjoy his work, HJ. First time I’ve seen the studio pic. Some fine pieces hanging behind and scattered about him. Spending time looking. Thanks for posting.

Has someone posted up Dixon's work before? I forget what has been posted, I guess I need to go back thru the thread & keep a running list so as not to post dups.

His studio was in San Francisco. I like that pic too, & often wonder what happened to all the artifacts on the walls when he died.

Thanks Bob!

I wondered the same thing. I just remembered seeing his work somewhere before but not all of those you posted and I’ve never seen the studio pic. Some of his more angular work looks as if it may have influenced Bob’s periwinkle cowboy artist.

"The Mysterious Sniper On Sharpshooter's Ridge"
Painting by Bob Boze Bell

The longest living survivor of Custer's 7th Cavalry, Sgt Charles Windolph (1851 - 1950) was one of the 120 men under Captain Benteen who took up position below high ground to aid the 60 wounded survivors of Major Reno's troops. In his debriefing & historical interviews Windolph always maintained they were being picked off by a sharpshooter from above. At least one of his comrades was headshot. The butt stock of Windolph's rifle was hit by a bullet & splintered. For his actions Windolph was awarded the Medal of Honor. The high ground has become known as Sharpshooter's Ridge, & more recent evidence indicates there may have been as many as three shooters positioned there. Their identities & tribe affiliations remain anonymous to this day.

June 26th will mark the 144th anniversary of the battle.

Great painting and history, HJ.

Great painting and history, HJ.

It was always believed that all the Indians were fighting guerrilla style with repeating rifles. Windolph told differently. It was only in the last 10-15 yrs when a range fire set off by lightening uncovered evidence that changed the official view on exactly how things happened.

All the red color really sets the mood in the painting.

Thanks for posting those, Bob. Really enjoyable. No wondering about his painting titles.

I'm glad he gave them titles. And I'm equally as glad he didn't decide to become a Cosmetic Surgeon.
