| The Noon Change of Horses
This oil on canvas is called "The Noon Change".
In the old days, cowboys would make a change of horses around noon time. This little thought about fact of cowboy life is what inspired Al to compose this painting.
Al Shelton painted this picture trying to get on the cover of Western Horseman magazine. There were so many artist submiting work that Al's painting could not be used for that. However, the editors used it to illustrate a story in the magazine. They printed the artowrk in color too!
Al was happy about that.

EMERGING ARTISAN INTRODUCTION
The talented young artist Brian Gregory Atkin works primarily with graphite and colored pencil. Brian has created a body of images that depict classic sculpture in interesting and traditional settings. The images are primarily done with graphite, however, many are enhanced using just a touch of colored pencil.
The subjects of his work include renderings of statues from the Huntington Library & Gardens in California, as well as, statues found abandoned in architectural salvage warehouses. These abandoned statues are rendered in settings that emerge from Brian's vast imagination.
It should be noted that Brian loves to draw Angels among other subjects that earn his attention.
Another medium that Brian works with is pen & Ink. A series of artistic representations of European Cathedrals have been completed by Brian.
The Huntington Library statuary series and several of the cathedral pen & ink works are available in fine art Giclee print form.
