Jack Sorenson:
We had a pair ... but one has found a new home.
So, Oil on board. 12" x 16" and 16" x 12." This pair was painted back in our bison pasture with two of the Goodnight bison herd as studies. Unframed. $3500 for this one.
And Jack was just admitted into the most prestegious Western Artist group - THe Cowboy Artists of America. Original values have jumped by 10!!
This is a steal!
Though born in 1954, Jack Sorenson grew up living the Old West lifestyle that he now depicts in his work. Coming of age living and working at Six Gun City, a dude ranch and frontier town in the style of the Old West situated on the rim of the Palo Duro Canyon and owned by his father, Sorenson was deeply embedded with a love for the stories and imagery that characterized the Old West, and which continues to motivate him to this day. Whereas other teenagers spent their adolescence working in retail or fast food, Sorenson worked as a stagecoach driver, a performance gunfighter, and a horse trainer. A naturally gifted artist since childhood, Sorenson began painting full-time in 1974. After his first one-man show sold out that same year, Sorenson committed himself to a career in art and never looked back.

Today, Sorenson has been immortalized in the same Palo Duro Canyon that was so inspirational to him and instrumental in his development as an artist, by naming in his honor a peak frequently depicted in his artwork- Sorenson Point.
