You know that show Mountain Men? Well, a lot of those guys are living well within the eruption zone. This painting is a great reminder of mountain man culture. Like most of Bama's work, the amazing level of detail forces you to stick around longer to take it all in. I like when a work of art draws you in closer and makes you think about the artist and the technique and the accuracy of the depiction.

| Born in a one room Wyoming dugout, Timber Jack Joe created his identity as a present-day embodiment of the historic mountain man. Bama's interest in preserving figures of the West captures his essence in this painting, beautifully detailing the buckskin clothes Timber Jack Joe shot, tanned and sewed himself. |
