Whether he is depicting a Native American hunting party, a stagecoach arriving in a frontier town, or a cowpuncher riding night herd in the moonlight, the imagery of Montana-based artist Gary Lynn Roberts clearly reflects his belief that he lives and works in God’s country. For him, it’s a reality in more ways than one. Living on a remote 100-acre spread in the majestic Bitterroot Valley some 50 miles south of Missoula, Roberts doesn’t have to venture far to find the towering snow-capped mountains, sparkling rivers, and native wildlife that so richly complement his compelling compositions.

Wapiti Creek

“Wapiti, an American Indian term for elk, makes me realize how important location is when hunting. I often wonder how today’s hunter feels, when visiting the same places walked on by our ancient friends.”

A Crisp Morning
Oil
30″x40″
“One of my favorite times of the year is fall. In this painting, I wanted to evoke the feeling of what a crisp morning feels like—cool mountain air hitting you in the face, combined with the warmth of the sun; fall colors and the clean perfection of the season.”
