Horse gear original art painting by Nevada artist Dan Howard. This piece is titled "Traditions" and is a bit of a history lesson. This beautiful scene takes place maybe in a mission's courtyard, with horses sporting horse gear appropriate to the historical context seen in the shadow of the arched doorways. The history of the American buckaroo seen in through equipment with a nod to the line of succession: conquistadors, vaqueros and buckaroos.
With a Pop-Art sensibility, Howard's western art is always accurate from the standpoint of working cowboys and wonderfully, whimsical to the eyes of everyone. A real-life buckaroo manning a ranch in the Nevada desert, Dan Howard's western original art is autobiographical. Acrylic on canvas.
