He was t at the beginning of the tremendous development of that territory in the early 1960s. The key event in Beelerâe(tm)s pioneering activity was the founding, in 1965, of the Cowboy Artists of America.

The success of his one-man show at the Gilcrease Museum in 1960 established him on a course that would lead to national acclaim and a string of honors and awards.
