The late Canadian painter Peter Maxwell Ewart (1918-2001) is well known for his depictions of the Cariboo country of British Columbia and the Rockies, including these paintings of working horses in the mountains. His career was extensive, with over 40 solo exhibitions in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K.

Peter Maxwell Ewart’s paintings covered far more than horses, see a selection at Maynard’s here.
Ewart worked for Canadian Pacific Railway for 20 years and created more than 24 posters for the company. See a brief item on that part of his life in this Art Junkie post about travel posters, here.
