Olaf Wieghorst My Favorite Olaf Wieghorst Painting
of the Week
At
Bay
A five-dog pack trees a cougar, right, as two riders approach
from the left. The autumn colored landscape offers a panoramic
view into the background under a sparsely clouded sky. An early
painting, the picture's appeal lies in its narrative content
and romantic qualities. This painting is paired with a similar
theme painting "A Mountain Menace."
"From a 1950s painting titled: "At Bay" -
Oil on canvas, 28 x 38 inches
“Olaf Wieghorst needed some hay for his horses
and did not have the money to pay for it so he told my Uncle Gene
to pick out two of his paintings. Uncle Gene decided to let them
hang in my Grandma and Grandpa’s house so they could enjoy
them and when they passed on he would take them. Olaf Wieghorst
was a neighbor of my grandparents. Olaf and John Wayne at some
point came by my Grandparents’ house to look at the paintings.”
Story from Pam Pethoud, Seiling, OK (niece of Eugene D. Napier.)
