John Buxton said this:

Since I live in Western Pennsylvania, how could I not be enthusiastic about the aura radiating from the rocks and rivers that witnessed the 21 year old George Washington, his scout and interpreters, and the natives that stalked them. Right here in my backyard, so to speak, so much has happened that influenced the course of a developing America of the 18th century. How could I not want to paint it? In 1994, I began.

It says so much.



Yes Roger, this quote says so much indeed. Thank you so much for finding it.

The life and activities of natives and settlers in the rivers of America are beautifully depicted by John Buxton in these two extraordinary master works.

This is like a museum. All of the objects, artifacts and activities are here to see.

This gentleman has not only studied and researched but has got inside of the spirit of the places.

I am more than impressed.

I am most impressed too, Roger. After his career as illustrator and some strict preparation, Buxton seems to have consecrated to American history entirely. The results are there for all to see.

Thanks for your continued contribution,

Miguel
