The chuck wagon, invented in the 1860s by Texas cattleman Charles Goodnight,
served as home base for cowboys on open range cattle drives and roundups.
A welcome site at the end of hard days, the chuck wagon provides warm
meals and companionship out of the saddle. It remains popular today in
the open-range states of the far West where distances are great and it
is impractical for cowboys to return to the comfort of a ranch house
every night. Of the quiet landscape, Chuck Wagon in the Snow, Bama
says he finds magic in the snow and its softening effects upon
whatever it touches near his home in Cody, Wyoming.

Bama is referred to as an “American Realist.” Through his detailed portraits
of Native Americans and cowboys, we see the American West as it is today
and not a vision of the Old West. Bama enrolled in the Art Students League
under the GI Bill. He had a twenty-two year career in commercial art as
one of Manhattan’s top illustrators, before devoting his time to award-winning
success in fine art. It is a testament to his talent and its enduring influence
that his work from those early years continues to be honored in the world
of illustration, science fiction and fantasy.
