Tim Cox Cowboy and Western Art Prints

Horse and Western artist Tim Cox was born in 1957 in Arizona and grew up in the small farming and ranching community of Duncan, near the New Mexico state line. When only 5 years old, Tim vowed he "was going to be a cowboy artist" when he grew up. He currently lives in northern New Mexico and is considered one of the great western artists of our time. U.S. Art's "Gallery owners survey" named Tim one of the top two most popular Western print artists in 1999.While most of his time is consumed by painting, Tim continues to raise cattle and train his horses. He also finds the time to coach young riders who compete in cutting competitions and other competitive horse events. Tim combines the basic ingredients of color, value, perspective and pleasing design with his desire to be a perfectionist in portraying the real working cowboy. This attention to exactness is appreciated by most ranchers and cowboys as well as the recreation horse owners around the world.In 1999, Tim was commissioned to paint Kentucky Derby winner "Silver Charm" and a leading racing quarter-horse sire, "First Down Dash". He was the featured artist at the annual Cattleman's Western Art Show in San Luis Obisbo and was recently invited to show at the prestigious Prix de West Show at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City this coming June. Tim has won the Olaf Weighorst award twice at the Mountain Oyster Club Art Show in Tucson, Arizona. He is also featured in U.S. Art and Art of the West magazines. Elegant Horse Pictures is proud to offer you the outstanding work of award winning artist Tim Cox.
