About the artist: A representational oil painter and sculptor of the contemporary West, was born in Glen Ross, Texas in 1940 and is still living there. Son of a judge, he was encourages when he began drawing as a boy. After he finished high school, he worked for a construction crew, took correspondence courses in art, and then was employed as a technical illustrator. "That was good training," he says. "We had to take blueprints and try to picture what the finished object would look like." In 1964, a cousin paid Summers' living expenses for a year so he could paint full time. "Things got pretty tight," he recalls, "and if we hadn't lived in a small town, it would have been impossible." By 1966, he was exhibiting successfully. In 1969, he sold twelve paintings at a solo show in Odessa, and in 1973 his work was reproduced by the Franklin Mint. He was the official Texas Bicentennial Artist in 1976, and in 1979, the five painting he exhibited at the Western Heritage Show in Houston were sold, one for $29,600. In 1980 he was commissioned to model a heroic memorial of John Wayne.
