Cowboy Fishin' Boots
by Nelson Boren
In the dusty, sun-baked lands of the West, water is scarce and large
bodies of water are even scarcer. The harsh rays of the sun drain
the color from the landscape, drying up vegetation and inhabitants
alike—but one cowboy will not surrender. He leans casually
against a doorframe, showing off the vibrant blue water and leaping
yellow fish on his Cowboy Fishin’ Boots.
Artist Nelson Boren’s portraits of cowboys take their inspiration
from the sweeping landscapes of the West and then hone in on the
little details that comprise a cowboy’s life. His detailed
studies of the trappings of the trade impart a romance and a gentle
humor to what is commonly depicted as a hard and lonely existence.

Today we will look our best,
...And you will take me where I want to go,
...Tomorrow they will tell stories of our deeds!
by Bob Coronato
When Spanish explorers came to the land that would become America,
they brought horses with them clad in armored masks. Native Americans
soon adapted the mask for their own horses, influenced by visions
and decorated with motifs of hail, thunder and lightning. The symbolic
armor adorned with these symbols of power could transform the horse
and rider into great warriors with extraordinary abilities and possibly
even carry them into the space between this world and the next,
where bullets and arrows could not hurt them.
To this day, Plains Indians decorate their horses for ceremony and
adorn them with images of power. Bob Coronato was inspired to paint
this piece while watching the relay races at Crow Fair. He realized,
he says, how much the "horse culture is very much the same
today as it was in the past."
