Olaf Wieghorst
My Favorite Olaf Wieghorst Painting of the Week

 Scouting for Buffalo
A Nez Perce Indian mounted on a Leopard Appaloosa horse pauses on a mountain rise before following his companion into a large majestic valley. The Nez Perce people of the American Pacific Northwest developed the American breed of Appaloosa. They were once referred to by white settlers as the "Palouse Horse", after the Palouse River, which flowed through the of Nez Perce country.

Oil on canvas, 20 x 24 inches, 1969

Olaf Wieghorst painted around 1600 oil paintings, 3-5000 watercolors, and who knows how many drawing and sketches during his life time. I love them all. Each painting tells a story to me. I have hundreds of personal favorites and will be sharing a new one each week. If you have any comments on a painting or have a special favorite you would like me to post, please email me.
