Rodeo Dreams FROM THE TRAIL OF PAINTED PONIES RETIRED JAN 2009 A cover artist whose Cowboy paintings massage, twist and tweak traditional concepts of Western art at the same time they embrace Western iconography, Jim lets his Painted Pony speaks for himself: Ï don’t want to plough or amble along a trial. I’m not built for dressage and I’m certainly nobody’s pet. Give me center stage and I’ll give you a show because I’m Rodeo Dreams.” Artist: Jim Knauf
