"This is a painting of our friend Annie, on whose farm we stayed for part of our trip to Devon last summer. Annie has farmed her whole life on Dartmoor, working big horses and competing in driving and plowing competitions and growing the the most beautiful gardens imaginable! She also runs the most wonderful B&B we have ever stayed with. Listening to the stories as she drove her cart and ponies all through the valley was a memory that will be cherished. Truly a beautiful life!"
An aspiring artist from an early age, it was Robert Duncan’s childhood summers on his grandfather’s ten thousand acre Wyoming cattle ranch that deeply instilled in him a love of nature and rural life that continues to be the central focus of his life and art today. Duncan’s career began to flourish in the early 1980’s after he was juried into the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America organization. While he paints a variety of subjects ranging from pure landscapes to wildlife and figurative works, he is most recognized for his Native American subjects, with a particular focus on the daily lives of Ute, Crow and Blackfeet tribes and their interaction with the environment and nature.
