As a child, I remember a western painting (probably either Remington or Russell) of a cowboy on a trail beneath a cliff. The cowboy is holding his horse’s nose in order to keep it silent, because above him you see several Indians looking over the cliff. Anyone else remember this painting? As I recall, it had a catchy title to it. I’ve googled as best I can and still can find it. ---

Thanks for posting that. I like Frederic Remington-type paintings and now Russell is on my artist list. ---

I remember when I was small my mom used to take me to see Western paintings. Now I’m a big fan of western paintings and I used to go for every exhibition out here. I love the works of Frederic Remington. ---

I don’t know if any of you are in the Florida area or are ever planning to be but if so, you would probably enjoy [this](http://www.thejamesmuseum.org/) museum. I’m fortunate enough to see all this beautiful art every day as it is currently displayed where I work. Anyone who is really into Western themed art would have a field day here and can, in fact, tour our buildings and see some of it.
