About this title

Synopsis

Please come in and stroll the rocky canyons and high-country troves with the Colorado sheepherder and "master" folk artist, Pacomio (Paco) M. Chacon (1916-2009). As you follow Paco through his old sheep ranges you will enjoy viewing the exceptional images he carved into the cliffs and aspens. His favorite subjects were nude or scantily clad "calendar girls." As his "hallmark" he typically left these images off the "beaten paths." They are thus unknown to any but those who commonly roam these remote areas. These lucky few have long acknowledged Paco's obvious talents and considered him a "Colorado Treasure" Paco, an entirely self-taught artist, is recognized by them as the finest sheepherder-artist ever to carve on cliffs and aspens of the American West. Since his few surviving works are widely scattered over thousands of square miles, this book is the only place they can be viewed. Although largely a celebration of the natural female form, Paco's works are tasteful and respectful of women. Enjoy this introduction to Paco's individualized "little gals" and other chimerically portrayed forest friends. They are certain to surprise you, make you chuckle, and put a broad smile on your face! This book is a biography and showcase of PACOMIO, master artist of "Mother Nature's Canvases."
