I have a Oil Painting by an artist named Bob Day, I have done research and I can't find a thing, (1969) Cowboy

Its a picture of 2 horses outside of an old saloon, it was exquisitely done piece, and I was curious if anyone knew anything about the author or possible piece value.I have a Oil Painting by an artist named Bob Day, I have done research and I can't find a thing, (1969) Cowboy
I've found a copy of a vintage 1968 magazine with a color illustration by Bob Day, and the magazine has an article on him, too:





';The cover alone on this magazine is worth the price! It is a picture of Illinois artist, Bob Day. called ';Disinherited'; showing 3 Indians on horses looking down upon a homestead in the winter time. The colors are lovely in midnight blues and whites. The magazine is in mint condition. It has man articles related to horses, including ';The Education of a Horseshoer';, an ad for HBarC blue jeans, Early American Horse History, folk tale, The Curse of Old Ruidoso';, an article on the artist, Bob Day, an article called ';Back of the Chutes'; relating to competitive bronco riding, barrel racing, a total of 44 pages.';

So far, that's all... (Maybe you could buy the magazine?)





Edit: I've just found something else; I don't know if it's the same person, but if it weren't, the coincidences are awful strong.


There's a ';Robert Day'; (although one reviewer refers to him as ';Bob Day';) who wrote a book called ';The Last Cattle Drive';, as well as a couple of western-themed novellas. It says he wears cowboy boots and has been an artist-in-residence at the University of Kansas.

And here's some more about him (and strangely enough, although he is [now?] a writer -- if it's the same guy -- his wife is a painter):

At this point, I'm not sure it's the same guy, since it doesn't mention Illinois or painting. It says he was born in Cincinnati, but then another source says he was born in Shawnee, Kansas:

Maybe your best bet would be to buy the magazine -- maybe on eBay. At least you'd have the right background info on the right Bob Day.
