O

ver the past fifty years, Trailside Galleries has been at the crossroads of western American art. Founded by Dick Flood, Sr., in Idaho five decades ago, Trailside helped birth the enthusiasm for quality western art at a time when representational art received little respect from critics across the country. As the stewardship of the gallery was passed on to Ginger Renner, Ted and Christine Mollring and then to me in 1994, it was clear that western art was not merely a fleeting trend, but a lasting genre that would speak of the country’s heritage for generations to come. Trailside has long been and is widely acknowledged for nurturing and representing only the best, whether it was a legend like the late Harry Jackson or John Clymer, or a fresh new talent just emerging on the art scene. To that end, the gallery’s mission has always remained steadfast: to be a crossroads for both established and new talent. Looking back over my 36 years with the gallery, I could write many superlatives about Trailside’s iconic history and list a virtual Who’s Who of renowned artists whose works have graced our gallery walls. But rather, as we celebrate 50 years of excellence, I would like to take a moment to convey where the gallery is headed as we look forward to the next 50 years! Once upon a time, getting information and images of new artwork to collectors all around the country was a 3-5 day process: photographing the work, waiting for the film to be developed, then mailing it to those prospective buyers. Today, in our digital world, all it takes is the push of the “send” button, and the client has instant gratification: the ability to view an image of a painting or sculpture that has literally, just moments before, been unpacked at the gallery. I am grateful to be surrounded in the gallery by a great team of people who really understand digital technology and outreach, and who have been integral in bringing Trailside into the digital mainstream. From our comprehensive website to our online catalogs and expansion via Social Media, our ability to bring an artist’s finished work to an eager collector has never been so fluid and timely.

representational art. And seven years on, our auction department, the Jackson Hole Art Auction, is positioned to continue its fast pace and growth as one of the country’s leading purveyors of works by both deceased masters and living artists. While advances in modern technology have served the gallery well, it has also made the playing arena a much more competitive one. Today, collectors have many more resources available to them in their pursuit of fine art. In the end, however, the gallery exists to educate collectors and to deliver a quality product made by a person whose ideas and inspiration are conveyed with the highest skills. Trailside is the point of connection between people who make art and people who love it. The gallery would not enjoy its pivotal role in this marketplace without the sound judgment and acumen of my long time friend and gallery partner Roxanne Hofmann, the loyalty and friendship of my gallery Director, Joan Griffith, the love and support of my husband Chuck and the dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm of our wonderful staff. To our longtime and new collectors and to all the artists, past and present, who have been a part of the gallery, I extend my deepest gratitude; for all of you have played a role in defining the very essence of this place we call Trailside Galleries. Please join me and all the Trailside family for our gala event on August 23 at our Jackson location. It promises to be a memorable evening as we celebrate the past and toast to the future of the gallery.

As we move forward, the gallery continues its expansion into new styles, new artists and broader subject matter, while maintaining our core roots of western

FROM THE NORTH

24 x 36 inches, Oil $21,000

“A wonderful sight--Tundra Swans descending through a November sunset into a western marsh to rest and refuel on their long migration flight from nesting grounds near the Arctic Circle to coastal marshes in the Southwest.”

SOPHIA

30 x 20 inches, Oil $8,500

“A child’s innocence and warmth is captured in this portrait of Sophia. I was inspired by the candle light and flowers she had in hand which seemed to exude the energy and beauty of her spirit.”

CLEARING ON THE KAIBAB

28 x 22 inches, Oil $24,000

“Last March, I made a painting trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. With spring well under way, I was surprised to see a deep fluffy snow that covered most of Northern Arizona. Snow will rarely fall in the lower elevations of the Grand Canyon. This contrast of color and textures appeals to me. As the cold front started to move east and the sky opened, I eagerly welcomed the sun, as did the hikers on the Kaibab trail that winds down the edge of O’Neil Butte, located in the center of this painting. I did not finish my field painting that day, but enough of the moment remained for me to create this studio painting based on that experience. There is nothing more magical than new snow on the rim of Grand Canyon.”

THE FLORIST

25 x 24 inches, Oil $35,000

“I was inspired to create a scene where the viewer feels as though they were peering in on this girl’s activities and interrupting her flower arranging. Her name is Diana and her sweet disposition was a joy to capture.”

MORNING ON THE BIG WOOD

23 x 24 inches, Oil $28,000

36 x 48 inches, Oil $32,000

“This is a summer moment in the life of a mother moose and her calf. After the first few weeks the calf travels about with its mother. The late spring babies stay close to their protective mothers as they are easy prey for hungry predators. The mother and calf are nearly inseparable for a year until her next calf is born.”

THE SHELL GAME

A TIME TO FEAST

21 x 31 inches, Gouache Watercolor $42,000

24 x 20 inches, Acrylic $12,000

“I did extensive fieldwork at a California game farm where they train animals for movies. The models for these little wolves were up and coming stars. The turtle provides the action, although in slow motion! Obviously, these three pups have never seen a turtle before. The den’s recreation grounds, denuded of all vegetation and enhanced by light and shadows, were a challenging subject for gouache watercolor rendition.”

“The annual salmon run attracts a multitude of wildlife. Grizzly bears feast on salmon as opportunistic gulls function as the cleanup crew. The complexity and efficiency of Mother Nature continues to entertain and amaze me. I am very fortunate and blessed to refer to these experiences as part of my job.”

ACOMA JEWELS

24 x 30 inches, Oil $14,500

A-PA-NI, WIFE OF BRAVE EAGLE

40 x 30 inches, Oil $15,800

“The impetus for the painting was a photo in one of my research volumes on the Blackfoot People. The photo was of a group of women attending the annual sun dance (Okan) during the early reservation period. While dressed in all their finery, they also wore the various headdresses of their husbands. I was struck by the interesting contrast and melding of the feminine dress and masculine headgear. I made all of the costume pieces you see in the painting.”

T R A ILS I D E GA L L E R I E S 5 0TH AN N IV ERS ARY

“I was privileged to photograph this outstanding four-colored polychrome along with the entire collection of the late Richard Howard. Nearly 19 inches in diameter, it took my breath away. Unbroken jewels from 19th century Acoma Pueblo~The Sky City. Masterpieces of Southwestern pottery, they were carried down from the city on the top of the potter’s head and in her hands to a waiting horse and wagon below.”

RIVER RUNNERS

FLANK ATTACK

36 x 48 inches, Oil $40,000

14 x 11 x 10 inches, Bronze, Edition of 9 $5,500

“What is it about the streams and rivers that tumble out of the northern Rockies that is so compelling? Color, texture variation, composition, mood....they seem to embody the very elements of painting. Packing into undisturbed country ribboned by wild water makes one imagine what Eden must have looked like.’’

“Whether on the range with aggressive animals or in the wilderness on a hunting expedition, one must expect the possibility of trouble from any direction.”

EARLY MORNING LIGHT

19 x 21 x 14 inches Bronze, Edition of 24 $6,500

ABOVE THE ASPENS

24 x 36 inches, Oil $24,000

“This is a painting of Jerry Bygren packing out the elk he shot in the Swan Valley on the Swan River east of Bigfork, Montana. It had snowed two days before and the valley was silent, with the ripples of the river being the only sound. I rode my horse across the river and got a good photograph of Jerry in the early morning light. I couldn’t wait to get back to the studio to start a painting based on the photo. Jerry is riding his horse Squirrel and leading my pack horse Honkey.”

T R A IL S I D E G A L L E R I E S 50TH AN N IV ERS ARY

“Last fall, while on a research trip in Yellowstone to sketch and photograph elk, I followed the sounds of a deep and guttural bugle. As I ascended above the aspens directly ahead of me, I heard the sound again. With the sun in my eyes and not enough time to circle above them, I decided to crawl to a vantage point where I could maybe get some photos and just get to see these magnificent animals. Unable to shoot any photos because of the blinding sun, I watched, put my memory in gear and made a few quick sketches. While disappointed that I had no photos, I had a clear vision of the mannerism of both the cow and this huge bull.“

MOUNTAIN MONARCH

MOVING TO SUMMER PASTURE

24 x 20 inches, Oil $9,500

44 x 70 inches, Oil $48,000

“This was a wonderful large bull that I was lucky enough to have had the chance to photograph in Teton National Park several years in a row. He was simply iconic.”

“The Montana Horse Ranch has long been the home of the “Montana Invitational Horse Stampede” - the last great American Horse Drive. Over the past several years things get started with the Annual Spring Horse Roundup and Drive near Willow Creek in the Southern part of Montana. During that period of about 3 days, approximately 350-400 horses are moved from there, through the town of Three Forks, to their summer pastures. This painting is a depiction of that final morning of the drive, as the wranglers were just getting the herd up and moving after their last night outside of Three Forks.”

WILD HAVEN

18 x 24 inches, Oil $5,600 CASCADE CANYON SHADOWS

41 x 48 inches, Oil $19,500

“Late June in Grand Teton National Park brings a profusion of wildflowers to the valley including scarlet gilia, buckwheat, penstemon and lupine blooming among the sage. Evening light filters down Cascade Canyon, accenting the rugged forms of the Cathedral Group; Teewinot, Grand Teton and Mount. Owen.”

T R A IL S I D E G A L L E R I E S 50TH AN N IV ERS ARY

“In preparation for the 50th anniversary of Trailside, I visited the Spring Creek Wild Horse Management area in Disappointment Valley, just two hours from my home. It is amazing that the horses can not only survive, but actually thrive in this harsh land. Sundance, the white stallion in the painting was particularly stunning with his long, tangled, mane and tail. The bay mare’s foal has been named Haven, thus the title of the painting Wild Haven - representing both the foal’s name and the hope that this piece of land will continue to be a haven in years to come for the few remaining mustangs.”

MUSSELSHELL VALLEY

PARTY CRASHER

Bronze, Edition of 35, 17 x 15 x 8 inches $3,400

34 x 50 inches, Oil $17,000

“In South Central Montana lies the Musselshell Valley. In the distant past, it was the wintering grounds of the Crow, Blackfeet, and the Gros Ventre. The game is still plentiful aided by an environment of pines bordering meadows of tall grass and outcroppings of sandstone formations through which runs the Musselshell River. In this place on an early Fall day, my husband Loren and I saw a big bull, saddled up with a couple satellite bulls, and 20-30 cows and calves. This elk, with his head aloft, caught wind of us, turned on his haunch and bolted for the Ponderosas.”

“A couple of years ago I spent some time backpacking with friends through the northwestern corner of Yellowstone National Park. We ended up going over a nice pass that had been burned many years ago. As I was walking through this burn patch, I knew immediately that it was going to present some nice opportunities for painting ideas. There were so many diagonals created by the deadfall and interesting openings that were just begging for focal points. So for this scene, I couldn’t help but picture an elk emerging into it and it grew from there. It’s one of those classic examples about how life goes on.”

16 x 20 inches, Oil $16,000

´The location of this painting, Slide Lake, is one of the 4000 lakes in the Wind River range. Many of them are unnamed. Most of them are memorable. This painting is from my pack trip last summer.”

T R A IL S I D E G A L L E R I E S 50TH AN N IV ERS ARY

14 1/2 inches high, Bronze, Edition of 20 $5,200

“When I first came to the United States in 1972 from Africa, my colleagues at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science brought me out on the prairie where I encountered the Pronghorn Antelope for the first time in my life. I had known about them of course, but it was an exciting experience to actually see this iconic animal, unique to the North American Great Plains. Since that time I have spent many hours observing them and in this pyramidal design I attempt to capture their swiftness and elegance.”

CLOSING IN

26 x 36 inches, Acrylic $12,000

“I have painted more cats than any other subject. So much can be said with the look in their eyes. This lion has his eye on something and he means business.”

THE PROVIDER

36 x 48 inches, Oil $25,000

“My painting The Provider depicts a lone brave out on a clear winter day hunting the river bottoms where elk, deer and moose might winter. Even on a cold, bright winter day when it would be much better to stay by a warm fire, the search must go on for the provisions needed for a hungry family. I tried to capture the beauty of winter and of someone in harmony with his world.”

RETURNING HUNTERS - GREEN RIVER, WYOMING

22 x 36 inches, Oil $11,000

“After a long day of pursuing antelope and other small game, Shoshone hunters return to their camp along the Green River. The sun, low on the horizon casts an illuminating glow on the cliffs of the Palisades. There may be rain tonight.”

36 x 24 inches, Oil $23,000

“He is a fearless fighter and a great leader. He is determined to preserve the traditional ways of life for his people. The powerful war medicine he possesses is indicated on his grizzly bear claw necklace and on his war shield.” 16

TIM SOLLIDAY

GATHERING

40 x 60 inches, Oil $25,000

“This piece was inspired by the light found in the deserts of the American Southwest. The late afternoon is one of my favorite times to paint. The color of the sunlight turns into a golden hue and affects everything in its path. I was also attracted to this scene by the pattern of the blankets and other patterns in this picture. Trying to put just the right amount of information in the painting without overdoing it is a big undertaking. This piece challenged me on many levels, which is what I hope for with each painting.”

THE BLANKET

30 x 24 inches, Oil $12,500

“In this painting, I was taken by the idea of the great amount of design you find in the American Indian’s costumes. By combining the outdoor light and the interaction of the individuals in the scene, it has a feeling of musical balance and harmony. I also like to combine design in nature with design in costume. In this case, I put a butterfly in to accent these good combinations.”

LATE SEASON MONSOON

36 x 36 inches, Oil $36,000

“When asked to be a Resident Artist at the Grand Canyon in September/October of 2007, I had the opportunity to witness several of these beautiful storms as they formed late in the afternoon. On one occasion, not only did I observe the beautiful golden Aspen, but also the crashing of thunder followed by three inches of fluffy white snow. It was a delightful combination of three seasons in one storm.”

“The Manifest Destiny desk combines a striking array of hardwoods with traditional Old World joinery and historical design. From the carved “bark look” edging to the featured wildlife carving, every detail is meticulously transpired. The proficiency of precision joinery, composition, use of materials, and depth of concept mark the artist’s skills. Other hand made aspects include a light switch integrated into a decorative molding, a peeled buckthorn bark shade lamp, and a unique secret compartment that opens with a hidden dual mechanism. The center drawer is lined with a reprint of an 1871 wood engraving.”

“Every painting begins with a vision seen in the artist’s mind. Sometimes the finished piece appears in the mind full-blown, and at other times it is amorphous––yet with some beguiling character that begs to be developed. In either case, between that first inspiration and the finished painting lie hours of research, thousands of choices and, of course, the great joy of painting. The process is organic. Even with a well conceived composition in place, the painting has a life of its own and the best ones surprise even the artist with twists and turns that outshine the most clever of plans. It’s as if the creative spirit insinuates itself into the work, wanting to serve its own best interest with solutions that far exceed the artist’s original, limited vision.”

THE GUARDIAN

THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS

32 x 48 inches, Oil $23,000

“The Mountain Climbers depicts a summer group of Bighorn rams hanging out high above treeline to escape the ewes and lambs, heat, bugs and people. They revel in the freedom of the hills, wandering over ridges and summits with their keen eyes aware of any danger from below. It’s a temporarily egalitarian group of mature males which quickly changes into a fierce competition for dominance every October.”

“My portrayal of The Guardian is based on observation of the 2012 rut in the foothills of Colorado. This handsome mature ram had decidedly proven himself most able among his competitors. Having established the prize title, he perched himself in a large grassy area among the rocks and struck an imposing stance, just long enough for those around him to acknowledge and respect his high stature. Pyrography on watercolor paper provided an excellent medium and backdrop in showcasing this strong muscular animal with its natural dark and light sepia tones.”

“In the vast reaches of the American west there are ranches where cattle graze in high and rugged country. During the roundup each spring and fall some livestock are invariably missed. These cattle manage on their own, becoming wild and most times dangerous. There is a special breed of cowboy and horse that have the experience and fortitude necessary to catch these strays. This is the most dangerous job a cowboy can have. Among the ranks of working cowboys, the Wild Cow Catcher is held in the highest regard.”

“After rounding-up three thousand cows from the mountains north of the Bridgers, they were held at the ranch for a week to settle. After the rest, with fifteen cowboys and me and my camera, we set out on a two day, fifty mile drive to winter pasture west of Three Forks , Montana and west of the freezing Madison River. That November on horseback was the coldest I have ever been in my life, but it was a wonderful experience I will cherish for ever.”

ed and I are pleased to have been asked to participate in Trailside Galleries 50th Anniversary celebrations. We were privileged to own, operate and expand the galleries from 1971-1994 and to be on the cusp of the Western Art movement in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Scottsdale, Arizona. We opened a gallery in the Scottsdale Mall in 1975, realizing the need for year round business. At that time, Trailside in Jackson Hole was just a seasonal four month operation. Several of the top artists we represented during our stewardship of the gallery are sadly no longer with us; however, they are remembered as true American Master Artists. They include such luminaries as John Clymer, Robert Lougheed, Tom Lovell, R. Brownell McGrew, Carl Roters, Reynold Brown, Charlie Dye, Bill Owen, John Hampton, Rod Goebel and Harry Jackson. To Trailside’s credit, many artists who began their careers at the gallery, continue to be represented, including Robert Duncan, Veryl Goodnight, Bill Nebeker, Fred Fellows, Jim Norton, Curt Walters and Gene Zesch to name a few. Our daughter, Jennifer Mollring Sands, joined the gallery while still in college and was a great help to us. In 1976, we began publishing an annual catalog “The Artists of Trailside Galleries” which we continued to produce for a decade with her help. Jennifer also set up and managed our satellite gallery in Terminal III of the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, which at that time was the first fine arts gallery in an airport anywhere in the world. In those days, we worked diligently to stay in constant touch with our artists and help them when needed. Ted and I viewed the gallery artists as extended family, and to this day, they are dear friends. We are so pleased to see them continue to gain national and international recognition, fame and success. Trailside Galleries is fortunate to have Maryvonne Leshe at the helm. Maryvonne worked with us for seventeen years and continues to operate the gallery in the same tradition of excellence. We have many fond memories of our days at the galleries and to this day, we always get so much enjoyment when we visit the Jackson and Scottsdale locations. Congratulations to everyone that has lent so much to the growth and success of Trailside Galleries over the past fifty years.
