And at least one of the rear end of a buffalo, said creature being a resident of the Central Park Zoo. The bison butt image isnât among those being shown at the Jackson Hole Historical Societyâs âPainting the Townâ show, which will feature 26 Teater paintings, mostly of Jackson and a few of the surrounding area.
The art is on loan from Lester Taylor, a Jackson Hole summer resident since the 1970s. Taylor met Teater by chance in 1957 and fell in love with his work. Taylor was washing dishes at Jackson Lake Lodge back then when Teater was brought up from Jackson by lodge management to educate and entertain the summer staff.
