The jingle of spurs as a cowboy mounts his horse for that long ride on the trail; the bawling of cattle on roundup day; the endless dust of the cattle drive; authentic details from the life of a cowboy; the raw power of an untamed bronco. These are some of the many impressions that a cowboy artist brings to a canvas. Western Cowboy Art enthusiasts can experience the life of a cowboy in the west through the art of a real cowboy who has lived life on the range.........At home in a pair of spurs, western artist R.V. (Ron) Jahns lives in the small Eastern Oregon town of Burns, Oregon. Ron creates his unique western wildlife paintings by tapping into his vast experience of true life western experiences out in the mountains and on the trails of the great Northwest.
