Painting His Love of the West

The focus of Griggs' work is his love of the West.  His paintings and drawings honor the mountains, plains, animals of the west,  the Native Americans whose ancestors called it their home and the cowboys who explored and settled in this beautiful country.  The focal point of several of his paintings is a single cowboy simply conducting "cowboy" work. The artist enjoys rich, earthy hues that remain true to nature and the time of day. He has a knack of capturing the moment in his subject's life and in the process of bringing it to canvas or paper one feels the empathy and emotion in his work.
