Follow the Sun: Robert Lougheed, Don Hedgpeth, Diamond Tail Press, Vail, CO, 2010: illustrated p. 282.
Like many artists of his era, Robert Lougheed started life far from the West. It would take the Canadian illustrator nearly 50 years to spend serious time in the West, and when he did it was at New Mexico’s sprawling Bell Ranch for National Geographic. The assignment changed the trajectory of his career. He would go on to become one of the most respected cowboy painters of the second half of the 20th century.
