Western Realism and Later Life
In 1966, Bama and his wife, Lynne Klepfer, moved to a ranch near Cody, Wyoming. While initially working as a freelance illustrator in the evenings, he began painting contemporary Western subjects during the day. By 1971, he decided to abandon illustration to focus entirely on easel paintings. His realistic style often utilized specific lighting techniques, such as butterfly lighting, and he utilized thousands of photographs as studies for his work. His art is held in collections such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C., which contains his work Roy Benzona--Old Man Wyoming from 1970. He was inducted into the Illustrator’s Hall of Fame in 2000 and received the Spectrum Grand Master Award in 1998.
