Show Notes

Howard Post discuss how his third-grade Tucson art teacher submitting a drawing to the newspaper propelled him in the direction to become one of the top western artists in American. The all-around high school rodeo champion in Arizona had tough decisions to overcome including fulfilling his Morman mission or going to the national rodeo competition and what kind of artist he wanted to become if any. Howard overcame family expectations of becoming a world-class rodeo competitor to follow his dreams of painting art for a living. Howard now has work in most of the major western art museums including the Denver Art Museum, Phoenix Art Museum, Tucson Museum of Art and the Smithsonian. A retrospective of Howard's paintings is finishing up a three Museum tour, currently at the Desert Caballeros Museum in Wickenburg Arizona and a retrospective at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis in September.
