Back in 2018, I created a painting of the 15th hole at Teton Springs, which was reproduced as the bag-tag for our member-guest tournament. That weekend, the now Bronze Buffalo Sporting Club at Teton Springs, hosted an art exhibit showcasing my portraits.
During the reception, I struck up a conversation with a gentleman named Stan Pajerski. He was interested in a portrait, so I snapped some photos… and, well? The rest is history…

2019… oh, what a year… Europe, Whistler, Vegas… portraits… a museum collection… New York press — let’s jump right in my very good friend.
[Friends, due to an undisclosed server issue, my incoming emails are not working at the moment. If you’d like to reach me, try: itsborbay@gmail.com — thank you!]
The story goes… a Bald Eagle swooped into the lagoon on the 9th at Teton Springs, snagging a big ol’ fish. Euphoria… until, our Golden Eagle pounces and robs the scaled delight. Battered, our nation’s symbol sulked into the woods (to shag my long-lost Pro VX).
And so, when speaking with Tony and Carrie Snoey about the perfect symbol for our slice of Eastern Idaho heaven? The Golden Eagle was it. Black and white brings that fitting touch of noir. Oh, did I mention — this painting is four by eight feet?

You can move a New Yorker to Idaho… but the heart of a New Yorker is forever on the island of Manhattan. And, so, I was delighted to share my life story with New York Lifestyles Magazine!
Oh, yes, and do click on any image for a closer inspection.
Please allow me to introduce my latest portrait — Stan Pajerski. I met Stan and his lovely wife Janice at Teton Springs last summer. A quick conversation lead to a fast friendship, and after a close inspection of my Indiana Jones piece — the idea of creating Stan’s portrait came to life.

2018, you sly fox. While all-up in you, I traveled the world, took two trips to Vegas, painted like mad, was Artist-in-Residence at Teton Springs, golfed 100 rounds, played lots of hockey, auctioneer-ed a charity event; and even officiated my first wedding!
With record sales, amazing collectors, great friends and a loving family at my side — I couldn’t be more grateful. And now… let’s break you down, and drop it like it’s hot — 2018.
Jackson, WY and Teton Springs, ID — World-renowned Teton Valley Artist, Borbay, will participate in the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival QuickDraw, for the first time on Saturday, September 15th, at 9:00AM in Jackson Hole Town Square. Borbay will have ninety minutes to create a masterpiece en plein air in front of a crowd — upon completion, the result will be auctioned to the highest bidder.
The 15th Hole at Teton Springs brings the temptation. From the tee box, you can see the pin, 269 yards in the distance… surrounded by water and sand traps. Should you drive the green, you are looking at an eagle putt… if you miss, that first penalty stroke is easily followed by another, and another.
So, in other words, the forbidden fruit of 15, coupled with the iconic Rammell Barn proved the perfect hole to capture on canvas.
