New Painting: “ARLO”

  ARLO by Ronna A Pate 16" x 20" | Oil   Artist's Website:  www.ronnapate.com   “Arlo” has been painted in a typical saddle color, one of my occasional hat tips to tradition. I especially love the background color and the overall velvety look of the piece. Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

New Painting - “Atticus”

  ATTICUS by Ronna A Pate 20" x 16" | Oil   Artist's Website:  www.ronnapate.com   I am currently focused on still life studies of saddles. After seeing this piece, you won’t be surprised to find that I love turquoise! The colors here are ones that I find happy & uplifting! My Western-themed art is inspired by and is an homage to my Grandfather who was a cowboy in his younger days! Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

New Painting “Giddyup 3”

  GIDDYUP 3 by Ronna A Pate 12" x 24" | Oil $360.00   Artist's Website:  www.ronnapate.com   Another whimsical painting of saddles! I find saddles to be works of art themselves with all their curves, layers of leather and trappings! Love painting them and taking license with color, here with saddles in shades of green with mauve background and fence. Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas.

  HER SUNDAY BEST by Ronna A Pate 18" x 24" | Oil   Artist's Website:  www.ronnapate.com   Cowgirl saves this hat for special occasions! The decorative blue bead on the front puts a sparkle in her step! I love the deep blush pink color of the hat and the soft, velvet-like texture of felt. The muted moss green background is a nice complement. Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas.

FOOT CRADLES by Ronna A Pate 11" x 14" | Oil $250.00   Artist's Website:  www.ronnapate.com   Just love painting scruffy, well-worn boots! The chrome stirrups were also fun to paint! Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

  GOTTA BREAK IT IN by Ronna A Pate 14" x 11" | Oil $250.00   Artist's Website:  www.ronnapate.com   The boots are well worn in contrast to the newness of the saddle. I reckon the owner of those boots will soon be breaking in the new saddle which has a chrome-like space-age feel to it. I love how the various shades of blue look together!
