Born in Canon City, Colorado, Charlie Dye became a painter of western genre inspired by the painting of Charles Russell.
From
childhood, he was a sketcher, but it wasn't until a horse fell on him
that he considered art as a career. In the hospital recovering
from his injuries, he saw reproductions of Russell's paintings in a
magazine, and that exposure set his career of portraying the lives of
cattlemen.
Charlie Dye worked as a cowboy in Colorado,
Arizona, and Californ (showing 500 of 3966 characters). |
