"This was a day I'd been waiting for since I was a kid," says cowboy
artist Bob Coronato about his latest release. Coronato relates the genesis
for this piece, based on his experience working on a ranch on the border
of South Dakota and Wyoming. "I was there to help the foreman, a colorful,
tough old man of few words, move cows to their summer pasture. We got up
at 4:30 a.m. and my friend George suggested I wear my heavy winter gear.
Since it was 75 degrees the day before, I thought he was pulling a prank.
I decided not to take a chance and brought the gear. I saddled up my horse,
which was bucking and kicking to shake out the cold.
Hoping to get a good view of the thousands of cows snaking up the limestone
canyon, I went to the front and took a small bunch ahead to point the rest
of the herd. The temperature dropped as we got higher into the mountains
and the rain turned to large wet flakes covering the canyon walls. As the
cows were heating up, steam started to rise off their backs until billowing
clouds rose up through the canyon like a train puffing through the Black
Hills. I was glad I had my slicker and wild rag around my neck as the snow
turned into a blizzard. I sat tucked up under a pine tree branch listening
to the flakes through the trees, hoping I'd never forget a detail of this
amazing day. As the snow collected on my hat and the black dye ran down
my back, I couldn't wait to paint this scene, unfolding before my eyes.
With about ten inches of snow on the ground, George and I rode up the side
of the herd yelling 'this is the life for me!'"

Prayer to the Morning Sun
by Don Crowley
Known for his detailed realism and complex designs, Don Crowley’s artwork
sits at the apex of many painter’s and collector’s wish lists. In Prayer
to the Morning Sun, Crowley depicts a Paiute maiden in her morning
prayer ritual using eagle feathers as totem. “When I was growing up the
only thing I knew about Indians came from movies and magazines. It was
all unrelentingly negative and simplistic,” Crowley says.“As an adult I
realized these were a people forced to the brink of extinction and that
their story was a true tragedy. I have learned to care about the customs
of their everyday life and the beauty of their sacred ceremonies. It is
this essence of Indian life I bring to my art.”
