Planning Sketch

 Joe was chosen as the poster artist for the 2010 Jackson, WY Fall Arts Festival. These three planning sketches were submitted to the Chamber of Commerce allowing them the opportunity to choose the image they preferred.  The sketch to the right won the vote resulting in the painting, Season of the Mountain Men.
Joe executed the other two sketches also. All have sold.
