Signed bottom right: Veryl Goodnight
Veryl Goodnight was born loving animals and the American West. These two elements have been the focus of her art for over three decades. "Working from life was initially an excuse to be outdoors and near the horses, birds, and many other animals that shared my life," Veryl relates. "Having a living, breathing model nearby not only provides information that a thousand photos couldn't convey, it keeps me excited. Working from life also keeps me from becoming repetitious."
