Farnsworth's rugged individualism hasn't paled over the years. He's worked in oils, pastels, and watercolors. He's painted Indians, landscapes, portraits, and still-lifes. His close-up canvases of horses and cows have made him famous, but just when you think you've got him pegged, he's mimicking the style of the Old Masters or making paintings of Mexico. It seems perfectly logical, then, that in his new paintings he should pay homage to Georgia O'Keeffe. Like that quintessentially Western woman, Farnsworth reinvents himself with fervent regularity.
