The Dyin’ Cry of the Blue II, oil on canvas, by Michael Thomas O’Loughlin. Canvas is 60 x 36 inches, frame is 69 x 44 inches (this is a large artwork!). Artists' signature is on the lower right. This is an incredible large-scale painting from the collection of Robert “Doc” Smeton, a long-time resident of Twentynine Palms and prolific collector of historic California art and mining artifacts. The work was commissioned by Smeton, and, at his request, it depicts a Civil War-era scene with some 76 (or so) well-known film and celebrity personalities appearing as soldiers and other characters in the battle. We've identified Dan Blocker (as Hoss Cartwright), Willie Nelson, Rodney Dangerfield, John Wayne, and... is that... Leonard Nimoy?? Enjoy identifying as many as you can, however, there is no written list of who really appears in the painting! Michael Thomas O’Loughlin (1951-2017) was known as "The Artist of Garden Valley, Idaho.” He was raised and lived in Boise. He is renowned for the extensive historical research he performed as part of his painting process, often purchasing authentic clothing and historic props to give his extremely detailed works an unusual degree of historic accuracy. He felt a strong affinity for Native Americans and often used their stories as themes for his works.
