Description: Orange deciduous trees and dark green coniferous trees divide the foreground from the background, comprised of a rendering of Mount Hood in this watercolor landscape piece. (1970) Phil Tyler was born in Alabama. Eventually he moved west and settled on a small ranch at the base of Mt. Hood. A painter of the cowboy life, his subjects come from personal experience with that life. HORSEMAN focuses on a lone horsemen cantering across a pale green, light-washed space. The background is simply a wash of color which modulates from soft green to soft brown. The horse and rider are carefully and lovingly delineated from curb bit, to girth, to chaps. The acquisition of this work was made possible by Oregon's Percent for Art in Public Places program which is administered by the Oregon Arts Commission.
