The Cowboy Artists of America offer 22 pieces of artwork based on its annual spring trail ride at the historic Kokernot o6 Ranch in Fort Davis, Texas.
Since its inception in 1964, the Cowboy Artists of America has held an annual trail ride on a ranch to unite its brotherhood of artists and immerse members in the cowboy and Western lifestyles for authenticity in their artwork. During the weeklong rides, artists have a chance to ride and work cattle together, hold business meeting and even paint or sculpt. For the first time, some of the original works the artists created in camp or that were inspired by images from this year ride, held in April on the Kokernot o6 Ranch in Fort Davis, Texas, will be available for purchase in a two-day online auction launching July 11.
Sixteen artists of the organization’s 20 active members submitted 22 small works to the auction, ranging in medium from pen-and-ink and charcoal to watercolor, oil and bronze. There are portraits of horses, cattle and cowboys, scenes of roping horses from the remuda and riding in the West Texas brush country, and landscapes with blooming cactus and teepees on the range. With several works prices less than $2,000, it’s a chance for emerging and seasoned collectors alike to purchase a timeless piece of art that represents a piece of CA history.
The auction starts July 11 at 11 a.m. central time and runs through July 13 at 11 a.m. Works can be purchased only online at caacowboytrails.com.
