December 2024

Few aspects of American culture are as iconic as the cowboy, which is celebrated in the December issue of Western Art Collector. So grab your boots and your hat as we return with the 15th annual Art of the Cowboy! This issue honors cowboys as depicted in works by many of the top artists working today. This feature will continue to showcase new works from both painters and sculptors as they bring one of the great icons of American history to life in paint and bronze. Featured will be nostalgic scenes of the Wild West, as well as images that evoke the daily life of the cowboy. Don’t miss this chance to show our readers your artwork depicting this timeless figure.

As readers celebrate winter, Western Art Collector comes back with our Collector’s Focus: Winter Scenes feature. We will present new pieces by some of today's leading artists painting all the sights of the season. Subjects will span from snow-capped mountains to cities and towns blanketed in white, allowing collectors to experience the variety and timelessness of the genre. Book space today.
