Western watercolor artist Earl Kuhn of Medicine Lodge, KS has been moved to a rehabilitation clinic closer to home after being on a ventilator for eleven days in a hospital in Topeka. He is conscious & breathing on his own but some of the neurological skills he has lost is the use of his hands & fingers.

Some of Mr. Kuhn's work:

Such great work, HJ. He really captured my attention with all his detail work and the use of light. You can see the rivets on the back pocket of the jeans on the kid holding the paint. Here’s praying for a full recovery.

^^^^^ That is a crying shame. COVID (?) can be cruel. Hoping that he can make a full recovery.

While researching some silver work (story teller conchos) by this artist I found out that he was a painter as well. This blurb from the Durango gallery Toh-Atin (since 1957):

Robert Becenti (1949-2001) was born in Rehoboth, NM area of the Navajo Reservation. His mother, Bessie Becenti, was a well known weaver and often visited the gallery in Durango. As a young man, Robert sometimes drove her to town to see us.

Becenti was a realist and painting in the style of Jimmy Abeita. During the 1970's through the early 1980's, he was a regular award winner at the Gallup Inter-tribal Ceremonial. Becenti worked with the former Kiva Gallery in Gallup owned by the legendary Nell Guadagnoli. Guadagnoli promoted many Native artists and was for years the main source of Becenti paintings. The artist was also an accomplished silversmith and spent much of his time creating jewelry. He passed away at the age of 52.

I like the one of the Kentuckian, great dog. Interestingly, Burt Lancaster was of Ulster Protestant heritage, from which many of the original mountaineers came.

It was covid. What a shame; I'm hoping for his full recovery as well.

There used to be several cowboy gatherings every yr around here & there was one in Lawrence once. A couple of Western artists were there but I don't recall their names. I was wondering last night if he could have been one of them.
