Chuck Wagon In The Snow By James Bama

By James Bama

Chuck Wagon In The Snow by James Bama

During the more than two years Bama lived on the Bob Meyers ranch west of Cody, he always found magic in the snow and its softening effect upon whatever it touched. Invented in the 1860's by Texas cattleman Charles Goodnight, the chuck wagon served as home base for cowboys on cattle drives or on roundups. It is seldom used in its native state any more except on a few large ranches, but it remains popular in open-range states of the far West where distances are great and it is impractical for cowboys to return to the comfort of a ranch house every night.

It remains popular today in the open-range states of the far West where distances are great and it is impractical for cowboys to return to the comfort of a ranch house every night. Of the quiet landscape, "Chuck Wagon in the Snow," Bama says he finds magic in the snow and its softening effects upon whatever it touches near his home in Cody, Wyoming.

Artist James Bama is referred to as an “American Realist.” Through his detailed portraits of Native Americans and cowboys, we see the American West as it is today and not a vision of the Old West. Bama enrolled in the Art Students League under the GI Bill. He had a twenty-two year career in commercial art as one of Manhattan’s top illustrators, before devoting his time to award-winning success in fine art. It is a testament to his talent and its enduring influence that his work from those early years continues to be honored in the world of illustration, science fiction and fantasy.
