Michael Atkinson – American artist by Kaye Spencer #westernfictioneers #americanartist – Kaye Spencer

In the early 1990s on one of my visits home to Fort Morgan, Colorado from where I’d moved to take a teaching position in the southeastern corner of the state (a 500-mile round trip), I stopped in Limon at a convenience store/souvenir shop. The shop had a bin of posters and prints that you could flip through. This is where I came across my first Michael Atkinson painting. I was immediately enthralled, captivated, and in love with Atkinson’s work. (The images I’m sharing are prints I’ve purchased.)

Until next time,
