Edward Borein worked in many mediums, but his watercolors are uniquely treasured among his large body of work. The artist experimented with the medium during travels in Mexico from 1897 to 1903, but then nearly abandoned it during a long stretch in New York from 1907 to 1919. It was in Santa Barbara, California, in the 1930s when watercolor took hold of him. “Edward Borein, in company with every painter of note, had his bad days. No artist who ever lived produced a ceaseless flow of flawless masterworks, but for a self-taught artist in this most demanding of mediums, Borein achieved wonders,” writes Harold G. Davidson in Edward Borein: Cowboy Artist. “He can claim his rightful place among the pioneer watercolorists of the West.”
