Closest of all to this week's cover subject is Painter Peter Hurd, who lives and works on his 2,200-acre ranch. The Sentinel, near San Patricio in southern New Mexico. There he raises Brangus cattle and Thoroughbred horses, and has an apple orchard that produces in commercial quantity. The ranch is really an avocation ("Luckily, it's not my livelihood"), and Peter at times starts out to ride the range with his foreman and fails to get where he is heading because he stops to sketch scenes that particularly catch his eye.

Back home, he acquired works by the then-in-vogue Hudson River School painters, built the gallery to house the overflow.
