G. Harvey painted this exciting Denver scene after a trip to Colorado.

 He has captured the excitement of  Denver in its early years with this scene featuring the D & F Tower and bustling activity on Larimer Street.

Some of G. Harvey's most popular images have been of the oil fields when cowboys rode their horses among the towering derricks as they struggled with the change that would necessarily come.  "Oil Patch Cowhands" is a particularly beautiful rendition - peaceful, yet with the hint of how the land and lives would change.

G. Harvey's "Line Shack Cowhands" tells the story of the men of the West who travel to remote locations and live and work there. For weeks and months, they live in a man's society, like bachelors, without the comfort - or the cooking - of their wives or mothers.

This new G. Harvey painting is breathtaking. The riders and their pack horses are surrounded by some of the most dramatic landscape to be found in the West. The light virtually glows setting the canyon walls almost afire. And this warmth is contrasted perfectly with the crisp cold of the light snowy covering under foot.  

Packin' Alone is vintage G. Harvey. Little appeals to the artist as much as the day by day life of the cowboy. Packin' Alone has its advantages and disadvantages. Being alone with one's horses in some of the most beautiful and dramatic country in the world can be inspiring; but being alone when the elements are not favorable or when disaster strikes can be formidable.

The lone cowboy with his companions, his mount and pack horses, venture into the Rocky Mountains in early spring before the snow is completely melted.

Just the thought of starting out early in the morning with little more than his bedroll, beans for dinner, a slicker to keep him dry and his best friend, his horse, would put fear into many city dwellers.
