“Rider on the Rim”
24x30 framed Giclee (very high quality) print by Kenneth Wyatt.

This print sells normally for $490 and that's before DOING THIS TO SUPPORT THOSE IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AFFECTED BY THE RECENT FIRES, any taxes or shipping, etc. Let's make this thing go for its value and then some to support this cause!

Released 2010. Commissioned by the musical "Texas" as their 45th Anniversary Commemorative painting.

Kenneth Wyatt's paintings have graced royal palaces and adorned the walls of world leaders, power brokers and everyday Texans, alike.

His words carried even further. Wyatt's sermons and colorful storytelling no doubt linger in the minds of countless thousands who heard him speak over his more than 70-year career in West Texas and across the country.

So, there's little doubt the Wichita Falls native who would eventually call Tulia home for a life of Christian ministry, storytelling, painting - and even a little magic - left his mark.

Wyatt was 90 when he died this week, his namesake art gallery based in Amarillo and Tulia announced Tuesday.

He was a self-described "paint slinger" whose nearly 9,000 paintings focused largely on western living and faith, with a heavy flavor of the landscapes and people of the Panhandle and South Plains of West Texas.

He spent 30 years as an ordained Methodist minster, preaching at small churches around the region, before he said he felt called to take on painting full-time.

That's not to say Wyatt's calling to share the Gospel had ended - it just took a different form, said Carl McDaniel with the Kenneth Wyatt Galleries in Amarillo.

"He may not have ministered in the pulpit anymore, but he ministered in his art," McDaniel said, describing many of Wyatt's pieces as being "infused" with Christian imagery and depictions of God's glory seen in nature and the human spirit.

In the days since he passed, McDaniel said, people have flocked to the studio.

Many have shared their stories of how they knew Wyatt or were moved by his work.

Some, McDaniel said, remembered Wyatt from his numerous speaking engagements.

He spent a couple of years speaking around the region with the Knife and Fork Club, speaking as much as 130 times a year, according to a 2013 Amarillo-Globe News profile on Wyatt.

"People said when they heard him speak, he'd captivate them," McDaniel said. "He was even able to captivate the attention of kids. Early on, he learned to do magic tricks, and the kids loved when he would perform magic."

That 2013 profile of Wyatt by Jon Mark Beilue for the Globe-News described Wyatt as "one of the country’s, if not the world’s, premier artists of western and religious paintings."

"For more than 40 years, he’s been a Texas Panhandle treasure, likely the most renowned from the area to ever put brush to canvas," the article reads.

At the time, his son Mark Wyatt reflected on his dad's passion for painting.

"Watchin' His Shadow" by Kenneth Wyatt
“If he didn’t paint,” Mark Wyatt said, “I don’t know what he would do. He loves the creation of something new. Sometimes when he starts a painting, it seems like he wants to finish so badly just so he can start another one.”

Wyatt’s portraits of the Apostles and Jesus are to Wyatt what the "Mona Lisa" was to da Vinci, Beilue's story read. They lead his religious works that are in what is thought to be several thousand churches in 90 countries.

His portrait of baseball great Mickey Mantle hangs in the rotunda of the Oklahoma capitol, according to the profile.

He was commissioned to do a painting, “Father’s Prelude to Prayer,” for former president George W. Bush, which was given to him at a 2001 gala.

Queen Elizabeth and the king of Dubai had also owned Wyatt originals.

Born in Wichita Falls in 1930, Wyatt was the son of a roofer who first painted on his bedroom basement ceiling before getting permission to draw on the walls, according to the Globe-News profile.

He later lived in Stephenville, where he helped cheerleaders with their signs. In college at Tarleton, he made some money selling cartoon drawings to Collier’s magazine.

But the Methodist ministry was his calling from age 14. He spent 30 years in country churches around the region, but it was in the middle of a sermon in Morton in the 1960s that he sensed that was enough, Wyatt recalled in 2013.

“Now I’m not a nut,” he said at the time, “but it was like in my mind, I was hearing that this wasn’t what God wanted me to do anymore.”

He took a sabbatical while wife, Veda, took a teaching job in Tulia. He did some professional speaking, but devoted more time to his passion of painting. With his sabbatical over, he decided to give painting full-time a stab.

McDaniel said that as Wyatt honed his knack for painting, he also developed his skills as a public speaker, sharing stories with audiences hundreds of times a year through the Fork and Knife Club and in other engagements.

Wyatt's gallery, which is now mostly centered out of its location at 633 Broadway in Plainview, TX., has numerous prints and paintings, as well as works from other family members.

The Wyatt family released a brief statement on social media after his passing, quoting Matthew 25:23 from the Bible - "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.”

“Stuff Happens”
8x10 Canvas Giclee (very high quality) print by Clark Kelley Price, in a brown barnwood frame. Clark is an active member of the Cowboy Artists of America.

FROM THE ARTIST:
"Horse wrecks can happen mighty fast. The combination of an unseasoned horse, a quick moving calf, and a not so quick cowboy, can result in “stuff happening”. This incident took place at the spring branding I was at near Alpine, Wyoming."

Clark was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho in 1945. As a child he loved to draw. Even his earliest artistic efforts told stories. His parents Rex T. and Kathryn E. Price recognized his talent and encouraged him to use it. He received his formal education at Ricks College and Brigham Young University. His deep commitment to the Gospel, his love of the West (both modern and historical), and his life experiences have been his greatest resources in developing his talent.He spent his early years living in a log cabin his parents built in Montana. Surrounded by nature, Clark developed an appreciation for the land, as well as an ability to observe the kinds of details many overlook. He has been able to call upon many of his observations and experiences to create the art for which he has become known. The subject matter of his work ranges from religious to all things west.Clark served an LDS mission to Tonga from 1964-66. Missionary work has continued to be a vital part of his life. He states, "I would not sit down and start painting without asking the Lord to help me, for He is the one who gave me the talent." He is committed to using his talent to help build up God's kingdom. Stories from the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and church history have become more vivid and personal through his art. The spiritual impact of his religious paintings makes his work outstanding. As an example, he is a direct descendant of members of the Martin Handcart company and has profound personal feelings for their hardships. His depiction of such pioneer experiences, such as burying the dead in icy shallow graves or having angels assist during time of trial, deeply impacts those who view his artwork.
He has painted full-time since 1973. The Ensign Magazine often uses his art. He has done paintings for the LDS Temple in Tonga, Samoa, Seattle, and Star Valley, as well as for the MTC in Provo, Utah. He has illustrated several books including "Porter Rockwell - A Biography," and has illustrated the covers for books by John H. Groberg, a member of the Quorum of Seventy. He has won awards from the Church International Art contests and International Poster contests. Many individuals have original Price paintings. We strive to make his prints readily available.

Clark is well-known in the Western art world. His art is compared to that of master Western artists and is highly sought after. Each painting tells a unique story. These works are found in private collections throughout the USA and abroad. His western art has earned him awards from the "Arts for the Parks" program as well as from the Wyoming Historical Society. Clark is also a member of the Cowboy Artists of America.

He and his wife, Irene, raised their family in Star Valley, Wyoming. They are parents of seven children.

8.5x11 signed pen and ink print by Mike Capron.

At the ripe age of 5, Mike knew he wanted to be a cowboy. After a semester in college, the desire to be a cowboy grew, and he chose to pursue his lifelong dream of working on ranches. He loved the long hours in the saddle working hard under the beating sun, and it was a dream he was glad to share alongside his beloved wife, Ann.

As a young man, he hoped to avoid the draft service while his passion for cattle continued to grow. In 1965, he worked at the Bow & Arrow Cattle Co. on the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation, making $125 a month and couldn't believe how much he was earning to ride and rope. However, in September of that year, Uncle Sam found him, and he was drafted to serve in the Marine Corps.

While serving in Vietnam, Mike enrolled in their famous artist course. Throughout the program, he learned composition and technique from the greats like Norman Rockwell and Harold Von Schmidt. He took those lessons very seriously and enjoyed solidifying the foundation of his craft during all three years of his service.

After returning from the war, Mike and Ann continued working at various ranches, and he would prioritize painting early and late in the day. He would jump on any opportunity to attend local painting workshops and study under new artists between buying and selling horses. In 1978, he met Jan Herring in Clint, TX. She helped him focus on still lifes and portraits and pushed him to not rely on photographs to paint as it would inhibit his long-term abilities.

Mike is fueled by the challenge of his three passions and the art they entail. He says, "nobody rides every horse, nobody catches every cow, and nobody makes a masterpiece every time." It's important to him that all of his paintings are entirely believable for the viewer and that they can connect with that piece of art.

His paintings detail men he's known, and he works hard to honor them in each of his brushstrokes that paint their unique stories. The stories of those people matter to him, so he focuses on historical accuracy instead of financial gain when planning a painting. It's a mental process of dedicating himself entirely to a painting, so he keeps six stations at a time. When he reaches a stopping point with one painting, he sets it aside for honest review at a separate time. Switching from painting to painting helps him feel refreshed.

Like respecting his mental process while painting, Mike is attuned to his body. Staying in one position while painting wears on him, so he often goes back to where he feels at home: in the saddle. His core is solid after decades horseback, and he finds comfort painting from the saddle.

Mike Capron is an excellent example of a man fully pursuing his natural talents, and he imparts the same wisdom to others searching for that fire within their soul. He believes our passions are vital to building a life of purpose, and they can be found by following our divine guidelines. Mike encourages others to pay attention to the moment and not the mountain. Take care of this very moment and do the best you can right now to prepare yourself to climb the mountain ahead.

Mike pursues everything to the nth degree, whether he's training horses, painting, or working cattle. He tries not to identify with ease. Sometimes easy is okay, but often it's less rewarding in the long run.

And there's nothing more cowboy than that.

“The Thinker”
18x24 Custom framed, Limited Edition, signed and numbered AP 29/60 artist proof print by Jack Sorenson Jack is an active member of the Cowboy Artists of America.

THIS IS A RARE ARTIST PROOF PRINT AND IS 1 OF ONLY 60 A.P. PRINTS. A regular signed UNFRAMED print that is 1 of 600 number prints for this piece is $237.50. THIS PARTICULAR PRINT IS MUCH MORE VALUABLE and you can't just go get one of these.

Let's make this thing go for its value and then some, to support this cause!

Texas artist Jack Sorenson has spent his entire life on and around horses, a fact which has contributed tremendously to his authentic depiction of these magnificent creatures. Attention to detail and strong story-lines also characterize his work. Sorenson grew up living the scenes of the Wild West that he now paints. As a kid on his father’s dude ranch and frontier town on the rim of Palo Duro Canyon, his various jobs included gunfighter and stagecoach driver. Later, he moved on to breaking horses, which he continued to do after his marriage and while he began to paint more seriously. “I’ve known all my life that I was going to be an artist,” he says. “It’s like a preacher being called – it’s what I’m supposed to do.” After his first one-man show sold out, Sorenson opted for painting full time.

Sorenson’s sense of humor is often evident in his paintings of children, cowboys, and horses. “I believe great paintings should tell a story – they should involve the viewer. So much of Western art today is basically a cowboy or Indian riding through a Western landscape. We have the opportunity as artists to do so much more. I think that even a painting’s title should help tell the story.”

Jack Sorenson has been a professional artist for over forty years and his paintings have been used as covers for more than a dozen Western magazines. He is one of the best-selling artists for Leanin’ Tree Christmas & Greeting Cards. Warner Brothers recently used Sorenson’s painting of the Palo Duro Canyon as the cover of The Log of a Cowboy, an audio literature cassette by Michael Martin Murphey.

Though born in 1954, Jack Sorenson grew up living the Old West lifestyle that he now depicts in his work. Coming of age living and working at Six Gun City, a dude ranch and frontier town in the style of the Old West situated on the rim of the Palo Duro Canyon and owned by his father, Sorenson was deeply embedded with a love for the stories and imagery that characterized the Old West, and which continues to motivate him to this day.

Whereas other teenagers spent their adolescence working in retail or fast food, Sorenson worked as a stagecoach driver, a performance gunfighter, and a horse trainer. A naturally gifted artist since childhood, Sorenson began painting full-time in 1974. After his first one-man show sold out that same year, Sorenson committed himself to a career in art and never looked back. In November of 2021, Jack achieved a life-long career goal when he was voted into the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America Group.

“Easy Sweetheart”
16x20 signed canvas print by Mike Capron.

A real cowboy turned artist, Mike Capron uses memory drawing and traditional pen and ink techniques as a mode for translating the scenes and events of West Texas ranching onto paper. Capron has always had a passion for horses and the cowboy way of life. While working primarily as a cowboy, he has searched constantly for art instruction and describes himself as fascinated by “ridin,’ ropin,’and paintin.’”

In the early 1960s, Capron worked on ranches after high school but was drafted into the Marine Corps in 1965. Prior to going to Boot Camp, he saw an advertisement for art classes by correspondence. He passed the entrance test and was several months into the lessons when he went to boot camp. His art lessons were postponed while he was overseas, but he describes himself as “doing double time” with his lessons when he returned to the United States. “It was great and I had a perfect start to learning how to draw and compose pictures,” he says. “I had great instructors from all the commercial art profession, from Norman Rockwell to Harold Von Smidth.” Capron was able to follow up with other opportunities to study art, but these initial art lessons opened the doors of opportunity for him.

Capron’s art now reflects 50 years of living in the Southwest and spending those years illustrating his experiences and feelings as he moved and worked in the Western landscape. Capron uses oils, pastels, watercolor and pen and ink to draw the portraits, action illustrations, landscapes and animals of the Southwest.
After living many years in Salt Flat, Texas, he and his wife now live in Sheffield, Texas, where he works out of his own art studio but stays connected to the open and spacious West Texas landscape.

“Drawing feels like a part of me. I have been drawing all my life. Picking up my pencil brings me peace. Quietness is beautiful. Quietness is when the body rejuvenates and heals. In quiet meditation I draw best.
In today’s fast – paced modern world, it’s the ‘small and simple ‘things that inspire me. I hope that my drawings remind people of the beauty all around us and of a simpler time. It is my desire that my work may cause the viewer to pause and reflect, and therefore be spiritually or emotionally refreshed with a sense of peace. It is my wish that my work may bring hope to people and bring them closer to their own inner quietness.
I draw with pencils because they are simple and straightforward. It’s just the pencil paper and I. There is an unexplained kinship that I feel with the simplicity of my pencil. It is a very common tool everyone has used before and can relate to. The raw reality of the media is much like my lifestyle.
I hope it’s obvious to my viewers that I do not draw for Romance or Fantasy. I have been around horses my whole life and draw from real life experiences. Horses are a part of me. I draw what I know, what I Love and what’s in my heart. It is my passion that comes from the point of my pencil. I strive for a sense of harmony in my drawings by using light to express some form of spirituality or Godliness. The horses, animals and figures I represent are personal reflections . . . symbolic of my emotions . . . in which I conscientiously create their postures, facial expressions and the light in their eyes.”
—Andy Mast

The cultural values, and faith instilled throughout his Amish upbringing are all direct influences in the refined pencil work of Andy Mast. Realizing his passion for drawing at an early age, he honed his artistic skills, drawing deep into the night under lantern light following long days on the family farm. Longing for a mentor and craving constructive critique, his hard work and intense passion for creating art, from simple moments in life, quickly became a catalyst for maturing as a professional artist despite his exposure to formal training. At the young age of 17, tragedy struck Mast, when suffering a horse related traumatic brain injury that plunged him into a five-year journey engulfed by overwhelming disability and darkness. Through this dibilitating time, drawing became his sanctuary. His innate "God Given" talent became a refuge allowing him to express his despair, yet experience hope beyond it. Despite this challenging journey, Mast continually strives to communicate emotionally, through the language of art, evoking courage, peace, hope, and healing through his exceptional artwork.

An internationally recognized pencil artist, Mast, established his career earning numerous awards, publications, and exhibitions in prestigious venues of western art. Notably, two-time best pencil award at the Western Spirit Art Show, recently featured in a personal article by American cowboy icon Kent Rollins, features by Uni-ball pen company. Publication highlights include Western Art Collector, Cowboys, and Indians, Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association, magazine cover two times. Painting World Magazine, Western Art and Architecture, April 2023. Career achievement exhibitions include Night Lights Denver historic clock tower projection; pioneering this modern art presentation, as the first western pencil artist digitally projected over downtown Denver during the National Western Stockshow, in January 2023. He has also been invited to multiple exhibitions at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, Small Works Great Wonders, Art Show & Sale, in Oklahoma City, as well as, the Old West Museum, Cheyenne Frontier Days art show, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

“Summer is Almost Gone”
16”x24” Limited Edition, signed and numbered canvas print 207/500 by Tim Cox. Cowboy Artists of America

EXPERIENCE THE WEST through Tim Cox's eyes. Tim paints what he knows; vibrant cutting horses intent on holding that cow, cowponies covered in sweat after working a hard day, ranch horses sharing a well earned drink at a glistening water trough. His cattle have authentic expressions; calves perhaps a little bewildered at a branding, bemused heifers waiting to be fed, a longhorn steer intent on leaving the country, or a herd just shuffling along as they are being driven to better pastures are frequent subjects. Ranchers, cutters, team ropers, or cowhands, all of them touch his heart. Add a striking landscape with dramatic skies; clear blue, wispy pink clouds or spectacular thunderheads and you have a Tim Cox painting.
His favorite times are being out on the ranches, absorbing every detail of what he and others are doing so that he can go back to the studio and document the modern cowboy, as he has done for 36 years.
Tim is especially proud of his 2003 Prix de West Award and his two "Express Ranches Great American Cowboy Awards" from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. In a 1975 high school English class essay he wrote that one of his fondest wishes was to be a member of the Cowboy Artists of America. His wish was granted in 2007 when he was invited to join the prestigious group. He served on the Board of Directors. He served as president for three years. He went Emeritus in 2012.
Endless nights of painting until dawn are finally paying off for Tim Cox. He is one of the best known western artists, having been voted into the U. S. Art Magazine¹s Print Hall of Fame in 2000. Dozens of his Limited Edition Prints have sold out through the years, some as quickly as 3 weeks. Sales of his popular calendar line, which started in 1986, are nearing 10 million. One of the best compliments paid to his calendars is that you often see his tear off style calendars complete, late in the year. People will lift off the pages to find the date rather than tear them off. Tim's paintings have appeared on over 300 magazine covers through the years, and he has been featured in articles of at least 16 different publications, including Southwest Art, Western Horseman, Art of the West, and American Cowboy and Beef. Tim Cox was voted winner of the Readers Choice award for Best Living Western Painter in True West magazine's 2011 Best of the West poll. He also was honored to have been asked to create the cover of the 75th Anniversary edition of Western Horseman. Tim has been painting professionally since 1975 and has received numerous awards including the 2003 "Prix de West Purchase Award" and "Express Ranches Great American Cowboy Award" in 2004 and 2007 from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. In 2001, he received the "Will Rogers Western Artist Award" for Artist of the Year from the Academy of Western Artists and the "Olaf Wieghorst Best of Show Award" from the Mountain Oyster Club three times. Tim was voted into U.S. Art Magazine's "Print Hall of Fame" in 2000 and in 2008, Decor Magazine listed him as one of the fourteen "Most Enduring and Successful Poster Artists." Tim's work hangs in the permanent collections of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, The Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia and in the Old West Museum in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
While most of his time is consumed by painting, Tim regularly rides and works on various ranches throughout the West. He combines the basic ingredients of color, value, perspective and pleasing design with his desire to be a perfectionist in portraying the real working cowboy. This perfectionism earned Tim the "Ayudando Siempre Alli Award" from the New Mexico Cattle Growers' Association for his contributions to agriculture. Alisa Ogden, President of the Association said: "Along with lifting our spirits, Tim Cox's special images keep the magic of the cowboy alive for literally tens of thousands of city folks across the nation and around the world." Tim is a fourth generation Arizonan born in 1957 and raised in the farming and ranching community of Duncan, Arizona near the New Mexico state line. He now resides outside of Bloomfield, New Mexico, where he continues to raise a few cattle and train horses with his daughter Calla and wife Suzie.
