Provenance: Jackie L. Coles Collection. National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Being sold to benefit the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum’s Program and Acquisition Funds.

Mrs. Coles was a long-time patron and docent volunteer at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. One of her passions was contemporary western art, which she pursued vigorously throughout her life. In 2009 the Jacquelyn L. Coles Revocable Trust donated a portion of her western art collection to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum for the expressed wishes of generating funds to be used for educational programs, collection conservation, exhibitions and the creation of a special “Jackie Coles Art Award.” The sale of her artwork is a condition of that portion of the gift.
