Providing Western Art Since 1979

The late 1800's and early 1900's saw some of the greatest illustration work in history. Names like Remington, Russell, Schoonoever, Schereyvogel, Leigh and Johnson were favorites for magazines, books and newspapers back East. It was these illustrators that helped create and perpetuate images of life in the west.

In Chuck DeHaan's painting "Whoa!," the great story telling tradition is revealed once again. Collectors will love it because it is a great story painting with many little subplots. Story telling occurs when you can use your imagination to tell what will happen next.

In the early Western towns, parking regulations and safety issues were not exactly followed. Runaways were not that uncommon on city streets as there was usually so much commotion that anything could spook horses, which were generally used to the quiet of the countryside.

When you look at the "Whoa!" story, you get a sense of many things happening at once. For instance, the horses on the left are breaking from their bridles. The horses on the right are getting ready to make their move. The dog is about to add to the confusion as only dogs can do in a panic situation. The only person who will be happy about the events is going to be the local harness maker. All the work he is going to be doing will keep him busy for some time.

Chuck definitely invites you into the story. As you look at the painting, you will probably discover something new each time. It is truly a painting to enjoy and talk about. Anyone who loves the West that was, will get a lot of pleasure from this print.
