A mounted frontiersman in fringed leather sits alert on a brown horse, surveying a vast mountain valley bathed in cool blues and purples, while distant figures and animals dot the rocky terrain below. Russell's painterly brushwork captures the crisp morning light breaking over snow-capped peaks, infusing the wilderness scene with a sense of solitary purpose and untamed exploration. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
