Margie Jackson (1934-2021) Horse Round Up
Featured in this lot is this framed oil-on-canvas by Margie Jackson (born 1934 and passed 2021) of a "Horse Round-up". This beautiful oil-on-canvas features a herd of horses being round-up by a team of cowboys, possibly returning them to the pen for training. This painting shows the artist’s signature in the bottom right-hand corner and is extremely large. Margie Jackson (1934-2021) was a painter for years before she became a sculptor. Her experience at casting her creations in bronze began around 1976. Jackson lived on a farm in Yelm, Washington, but grew up in Texas and Oklahoma. Because the range was open and cattle left on their own, they would be prey to packs of wolves and coyotes. Horses were still respected as a means of transportation and the area was plentiful with Native Americans still richly steeped in their own culture, lending to the inspiration of her work. Among her numerous awards are Best of Show-Sculpture at the Celebration of Western Art Show in Olympia, Washington and First and Second places at the 1986 and 1987 Arizona Annual Art Shows. She was commissioned to create bronze and limited-edition prints celebrating the Washington State Centennial; the city of Yelm purchased one of these pieces for installation in the City Hall. The condition of this framed oil-on-canvas is good, with some slight wear to the frame. The measurements of this framed oil-on-canvas are 44" x 56" and the visible art measures 35 1/2" x 47 1/2". Provenance: This is from the personal Artist Margie Jackson.
