A Western painter and sculptor of figures and domestic animals, Harley Brown was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1939, and lives in Tucson, Arizona. His father was an amateur artist who encouraged his young son from age seven to pursue art. After graduation from high school, young Brown began doing department store window displays for an impressive $150 a month.

Later, he attended the Alberta College of Art in Calgary, supporting himself by selling his drawings door to door, and playing piano professionally. After studying at the Camberwell School of Art in England for two years, Brown began to make a name for himself in Western art, and in 1966, he returned to Canada. Shortly after, Brown met Bob Morgan, curator of the Montana State Historical Society. Morgan put together a one-man show for Brown, where he sold all 70 of his paintings.

His career made another leap forward when he received a call from Bob Lougheed to submit some of his work for the National Academy of Western Art show, where he won a gold medal for drawing in 1977.

He is a member of the Northwest Rendezvous Artists, Helena, Montana; National Association of Watercolor Artists; Oil Painters of America*; Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Cowboy Artists of America* since 2004. In 2005, he won two gold medals at the CAA annual exhibition.

He says of membership in the CAA: “Being allowed to join them is a monumental event in my life.” (CA) Brown’s work is in the collections of the C. M. Russell Museum; National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum; and Gene Autry Museum in Los Angeles.

Harley Brown was commissioned to paint Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and has painted many portraits of other well-known persons including President Ronald Reagan. His painting media include oil, watercolor and pastel.

A

rthur B. Frost was born and raised in PA at a time when the area, especially around Philadelphia, was highly desirable as a sportsman and hunter’s paradise. This influenced him greatly, as he went on to be an avid hunter and sportsman himself. This intimate knowledge of nature served him well throughout his art career, allowing him to convincingly depict both humorous and serious scenes of hunting, fishing and golfing.

Frost was largely self-taught, having acquired his only formal art training through attending a few classes under William Merritt Chase, artist and founder of the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art in NY. He went on to become renowned as one of America’s finest illustrators and sporting artists.

From there, he attended the Art Center College of Design in LA, worked as an artist for Universal Studios (CA), then moved on to specialize as a staff artist for the Chicago Sunday Tribune, as well as attend the Art Institute of Chicago, then as an illustrator and graphic designer in NYC. Tom is best known as a watercolorist and is a lifetime member of the American Watercolor Society, as well as an academician of the National Academy of Design (NY). Tom’s paintings are colorful and typically depict “real-life” scenes in the city, street and country. His works are found in Museums and galleries across the country, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Gilcrease Museum, the Autry Museum and the Tucson Museum of Art, among others.

Harley Brown Personal Collection The Cowboy Artists of America (CAA) is an exclusive organization of artists that was founded in 1965.

It was founded in by four prominent western artists, Joe Beeler, Charlie Dye, John Hampton and George Phippen, who have all since passed. Since its inception, the exclusive organization of artists has been dedicated to portraying the lifestyles of the cowboy and the American West, both as it was and as it endures. The CAA was founded in 1965 in Sedona, Arizona and held its first art show in 1966 at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Their mission is “To authentically preserve and perpetuate the culture of Western life in fine art,” with their objectives being “ To perpetuate the memory and culture of the Old West as typified by the late Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, and others; To insure authentic representations of the life of the West, as it was and is; To maintain standards of quality in contemporary Western art; To help guide collectors of Western art; To give mutual assistance in protection of artist’ rights; To conduct a trail ride and campout in some locality of special interest one a year,” and finally, “ To hold an annual joint exhibit of the works of active members.” - Cowboy Artists of America (www.cowboyartistsofamerica.com).
