Borbay’s Studio, Teton Village, Wyoming — I’m delighted to share my first update from 6,320 feet. Jackson Hole has been a magnificent experience, and it gets better by the day. Below, you will find the latest and greatest — thank you for being here.
A Painting of The Antler Inn, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
I’ve always been fairly obsessed with neon signage… hence my numerous trips to Las Vegas. In downtown Jackson Hole, you can spot several glowing gems, such as the oft-painted Cowboy Bar… and the Antler Inn. There is something about a dramatic sign in the night sky.
A Portrait of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones — “It Belongs In A Museum”
In 1981, Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones set the big screen ablaze. His adventures have spanned three decades… with a fifth film in the works… and if you would believe the latest press — “this won’t be a Bond thing“.

Borbay Paints The Dude, aka Jeffrey Lebowski aka Jeff Bridges
I’ve wanted to paint The Dude for years… literally. Though, somehow, the timing never seemed right… until now. I’m on a streak of guilty pleasure canvases, and I don’t want the good times to end.

And, let’s be honest, he has been painted by at least seven hundred thousand other artists… but to worry about that would be very un-Dude, and as an ordained Dudeist Minister, I gotta keep my mind, you know, limber.

Upper East Side Town House Portrait at Twilight
I spent the first 8 years of my adult life in the Upper East Side… so, it would seem fitting that my first painting started and completed in Minnesota would be this Upper East Side Town House.

Hello Dear Friend — Two weeks ago, we stuffed a 17-foot-truck, turned in the keys to our Manhattan apartment and hit the road.
