Cold Morning on the Range is an oil-based painting created by American artist Frederic Remington in 1904. The painting depicts a man on the American frontier, riding a large, brown, wild horse. The horse is obviously not trained because it is jumping and generally looking rowdy. In the background are many other men with horses, apparently on a cattle drive. Mountains are also visible in the distance, which perhaps leads the viewer to assume that this is the Goodnight-Loving Trail and the mountains are a range of the Rocky Mountains.
Got to love Remington so dynamic - up there with C. M. Russell. Thanks for keeping this going. I’ve seen some amazing art up close on vacation and may well add some more.
It occurs to me the horse and the cowboy her must have gotten very tired holding this pose long enough for the artist to paint them.
