James Reynolds led a fascinating life—Navy during World War II, a post-war career in the aircraft industry, sketch artist in Hollywood for 13 years—and yet all he truly wanted to do was paint cowboys. In 1967, he abandoned his life in California to move to Sedona, Arizona. Amid the red rocks of cowboy country, Reynolds brought the American West to life. “I believe that my understanding of Western reality has strengthened my art,” he wrote in Traildust — Cowboys, Cattle and Country: The Art of James Reynolds. “I was, like most people, drawn to cowboys as a result of the myth. But it is the reality that has sustained and held my interest, and been the inspiration for my art.”
