Mind if I Join Gentlemen? 1989 Release. The first issue in Mr. Friberg's legendary saloon series. The artist relentlessly researched the splendidly carved back-bars, antique oil lamp fixtures, unusual walking canes, period
clothing, wallpaper, bottles, and carved picture frames to give these three paintings vigorous authenticity. You can almost hear the macho sounds you would hear if you entered that frontier saloon.
Winners & Losers 1993 Release. Commissioned in 1977 by Steven A. Wynn, the owner of the Golden Nugget Casino in Las
Vegas, Nevada, this painting was created to depict an old-time western saloon as it might have looked in
earlier days. Delighted with the work, Wynn displayed it at the casino for some time, but then decided not to risk damage from the humidity, variable temperatures, and swarms of admiring people in the casino, and retired the painting to his own home.
A Gentlemen's Foursome 1994 Release. One of the most astonishing feats of the saloon series is Friberg's lively depiction of interior light. This requires quite different effects from those appearing in his outdoor scenes. Of course, Friberg is highly renowned for his horse depictions, indoors or out. This saloon scene is given added variety with its splendid billiard table, the appaloosa and that fine Mexican barb horse, with its rich charro saddle, bridle, and machete.
