What do you guys have hanging on the wall?
(wishful thinking counts as well..)

The obligatory Mary Silverwood prints.
A nice Mary Russell Ferrell Colton print, would like some more of her stuff, first saw her in an exhibition in the museum in Wickenburg.
Various unknown local artists' desert scenes.
A desert scene my wife's aunt made for us after a visit.
Zapotec rug by an Arizona weaver Mel Mendez.

Forgot to include a desert mountain watercolor my wife's grandmother (who lived her whole life in Lousianna and hardly saw the desert) painted ages ago. The wife is not too fond of it but it's her grandmother so I make sure it stays hung up somewhere in the house.

My dad was an artist and did several watercolors and pastels of the desert southwest. I had taken him on a couple of road trips and have great memories of some of the scenes.

My brother had most of them as he had a house when dad died. I still have the special ones though.

my prized Terpning.
copy of course.

I have an old Heiser saddle. Great example of the saddlemakers art.....



And an old woodcarving picture of the legendary bucking horse Steamboat, from Cheyenne in 1917....

also have a couple of miniature wagons my dad built. A covered oak freight wagon and a feed wagon.

Sam;
Good afternoon to you sir, I trust this finds you and yours well.

If memory serves, one of the first interactions you and I had on here was on this very topic Sam - many years ago now I see....

Now if this works;


There's a print of this just above where I'm typing now.

A good friend of ours used to head down to Wyoming to chase antelope every fall - back before 9-11 and when it was easier for Canucks to cross the medicine line with guns. Anyway he picked it up for us at the Cody Museum.

Not that many years after that my good wife and I made the trip to Cody ourselves and then did it again when the girls were almost teens.

Where the time has gone I'm not able to ascertain Sam, but it's up and went for sure and certain.

All the best to you and yours this spring Sam - I hope the calving season was better for you than it was up here.

" Meats not Meat till its in the pan..."

A couple of desert scenes by Aiden Shade are my favorites.

An old kerosene lamp hangs in my kitchen. It came from the old whorehouse in Rawlins, Wyo from the turn of the century....

That somehow seem poetic, Hunts
Nice lamp by the way.

Have these:





I want these:

My only western art I bought it at a benifit auction.

Russell Chatham

We have a few bronzes I am fond of. Some CR Cheeks. A couple Scrivers. A few Russells. One old cast of a stagecoach with a team of 6 by Russell.

I have a couple limited Ace Powell prints complete with small original Ace Powell sketches. I got the original metal engraving that Powell did to create the prints as well.

We have a few limited prints of Jack Terry and G Harvey. Print or 2 and an original of Bill Rains.

Have a couple original CR Cheek oils. Also have a couple originals from an artist from Argentina. Name evades me right now. This guy's father was one of the more popular "western" artists in that part of the world.

We also have some Snidow prints and I think one original.

I have some handmade artifacts as well. Some nice leatherwork from Brazil. Some leather and rawhide from Argentina and a few knives from there as well. Some native baskets from Colombia and a few bark baskets from northern Saskatchewan.

If I were a rich man, I would have a LOT more!

Thomas Pollock - Three buffalo in the snow (South Dakota Badlands)

Larry D. Martin - "Early Snow" (South Dakota Badlands_

Charles M. Russell "Buffalo Crossing the Missouri"

Great replies, thank you for sharing!




Don, that really is real life western 'art'.



Dwayne, I remember that thread as well. Would have been 7-8 years ago?


There were some awesome paintings recommended.



Poobs, that is a favorite!

I prefer Fredric Remington & Charlie Russel. They are definitely my favorites out of a lot of great Western Artists.

The Wife has Charles Russell stuff on every wall in the house.
She also has most of Bev Doolittle's signed prints back before she went in demand.

As for me i have a Hornaday bullet poster on the wall in my shop.

Only print I have on my wall is a John Phelps.
