Color Theory The Color of the West In the Cowboy Artist Museum in Kerrville, Texas, artist Bob Pummil has a series entitled, “Under the Western Skies,” being displayed in the main showroom. Pummil, a great landscape artist, uses the historic western civilization movement to provide the subject material in his pieces for the series. In the 1985 eighteen by twenty-four oil painting, “Sound of the Bell,” Pummil makes use of different color combinations. The subject matter is a hilly, mountainous landscape with a cowboy driving a herd of cattle. In the foreground Pummil focuses on a single cow with a yellow bell around its neck.
