Mark Swanson (Born 1958) "Which Way From Here?" Oil on Board. Signed and dated lower right, also signed, titled, and dated on reverse. Mark Swanson was born in 1958 in South Dakota and raised in California. He has followed in the footsteps of his uncles Ray Swanson, and Gary Swanson as they have paved the way by achieving notable success as painters. Swanson draws and paints cowboys and mountain men, a genre which was inspired by his uncle Gary Swanson, who had a studio in Wyoming. Swanson spent a couple of months there, and he became so fascinated that he went back to California with the sole intention of making enough money to go back to Wyoming. A stickler for authenticity, Swanson often fashions the props he uses in his paintings. "It's hard for me to do nothing. I have so much creative energy that I have to be doing something in order to relax. When I get home from the studio, my wife Cindi and I will spend some time talking about each other's days, and then I'll work on a pair of moccasins or leggings, or something of that nature."
