Cold Morning on the Range is an oil-based painting created by Frederic Remington in 1904. The painting depicts a man on the American frontier, riding a large, brown, wild horse. The horse is obviously not trained because it is jumping and generally looking rowdy. In the background are many other men with horses, on a cattle drive. Mountains are also visible in the distance, which leads the viewer to assume that this is the Goodnight-Loving Trail and the mountains are a string of the famous Sierra Nevada range. Throughout the painting, the color yellow is dominant to show the arid nature of the land. Remington's intention was to highlight such themes as self-reliance and mastery over nature. This painting measures 69 by 102 cm and currently resides at the American Museum of Western Art in D
