Portrait of Frank Eaton
Donated To OSU
Foundation by Artist
An original portrait of Frank
Eaton, the legendary cowboy for
whom Oklahoma State University
modeled its Pistol Pete mascot, has
been donated to the OSU Founda-"
tion by artist Brummett Echo-
hawk, of Tulsa.
The portrait, entitled "Pistol
Pete, Frank E ator~ "is the only live
setting Eaton ever granted. It was
completed the year Eaton died in
1958.
' 'I had known him for many years
and felt a portrait should be done
of him--he's a part of Oklahoma
history," said Echohawk, who is
nationally-recognized portrait
artist.
The painting was officially
presented to university and Foun-
dation officials March 27 in a lun-
cheon ceremony on the Oklahoma
State campus. Echohawk was
scheduled to give a lecture at 3:30
p.m. in the Bartlett Center for the
Studio Arts. A reception in Gar-
diner Gallery, located in the
Bartlett Center for the Studio Arts,
was held at 4:30 p.m. Both events
were open to the public.
The painting will be on tem-
porary display in Gardiner Hall un-
til a permanent site has been deter-
mined by OSU officials.
During his career, Echohawk has
gained fame as a painter of Native
American Indians and of subjects
from the American West. Painting
mostly landscapes and portraits in
oil, Echohawk employs an impres-
sionistic style, applying his paints
with a palette knife or bowie knife.
Echohawk's works can be seen in
galleries nationwide, including the
classicly-styled tempera painting,
"the Trail of Tears," hanging in the
Gilcrease Museum in Tuls~ He was
also commissioned by the
Alurninum Company of America for
a painting depicting the early ex-
ploration of the Tennessee valley.
As a boy, Echohawk became
close with Eaton, who he said was
always a colorful character. 'Tie
was one of the last gunfighters in
Oklahoma. His exploits were very
well known by my family and
friends," said Echohawk.
Eaton became a gunfighter as a
young boy after vowing revenge
upon his father's killers. After he
hunted down the killers, he became
a U. S. Marshal and was famous as
a trick-shot artist and horseman.
He died at the age of 98 in Perkins.
