Description
Gary Jack Thornton (b. 1941), "Grandpa's Letter", oil on canvas, 24 x 30", frame: 34 x 40"
Provenance: A San Antonio, Texas collection
Bold, authentic, and colorful are the words most used when describing Gary Jack Thornton's traditional paintings of cowboys and the country they live in. His work captures the unique spirit of the action, romance and adventure of America's Old West and is collected by individuals and corporations nationwide. Thornton was born in Oklahoma City in 1941. He attended the University of Tulsa on an athletic scholarship and graduated with a degree in commercial art. A career in design and illustration over the next 37 years produced a significant body of award winning work. Along the way, he founded the Beat Of The West Gourmet Food Co. and grew it into an international company. In 1998, Thornton retired to paint. He is a self-taught painter and will tell you he is no real cowboy, but he often "cowboys" on various ranches to research, study, and find inspiration. He is active in the Star Of Texas Rodeo in Austin to help raise scholarship money for Texas kids. He is a member of both Founders Club and the Calf Scramble Committee.
