Riding out the Blizzard – The painting depicts the hardships endured by the cattlemen of Northeast Colorado. Even though the cattlemen were subjected to many difficulties, the sudden appearance of a blinding blizzard was probably the one threat that revealed the hopelessness of facing the forces of nature. For one who has never experienced this phenomenon, the exposure is truly unbelievable. Not only are you subjected to the numbness of the cold, but the whiteness and the loss of direction can create a state of vertigo.
