“Even when it stands vacant the past is never empty.” - Ivan Doig (1939 - 2015), The Whistling Season

Upswept Sky - SouthWest Montana

“The prairie skies can always make you see 

more

than what you believe.”

- Jackson Burnett, The Past Never Ends

Rangeland- SouthWest Montana

"..Western land was made for those

Who like land wild and free...

I want the sage, I want the grass,
I want the curlew's call...

Just give me country big and wide
With benchland, hills and breaks,
With coulees, cactus, buttes and range,
With creeks, and mountain lakes,
Until I cross the Great Divide,
Then, God, forgive each sin
And turn me loose on my cayuse
But please don't fence me in."

- from 'Open Range' by Robert H. Fletcher, from Corral Dust, 1936 edition
