"Horses are a passion I've had all my life. I draw and paint them because it’s who I am – I simply have to. My work is about that connection with horses, my love of the West and portraying the working cowboy in his element.”
CONTEMPORARY WESTERN ART
Annette Randall is passionate about her art and the subjects she paints and draws. This passion is apparent in the way she portrays her subjects. She has developed her own unique style of creating lifelike, realistic pencil drawings and paintings that evoke a feeling of “being there”. Much of her artwork treats the viewer to a familiar, nostalgic feeling of days gone by.
Living with her husband in a small farming and ranching community in northern Utah, she is surrounded by majestic, snow-capped mountains and the ever-changing beauty of the foothills and valley below.
It is here that Randall finds a never ending supply of subject matter, from farming and ranching to wildlife, or beautiful scenery in the valley or surrounding area that provides inspiration for the subjects she depicts.
WESTERN ART OIL PAINTINGS
Many of the artist’s fans and collectors have remarked that Randall’s pencil drawings and oil paintings of horses and cowboys seem to “come alive”. This is warm praise for her, because she strives to evoke that feeling in every painting and drawing she creates, and seeks to share it on a personal level with the viewer.
Her work has an emotional and spiritual connection with animals and nature, and love of God’s creations, and she seeks to bring the essence of that feeling to the subjects she portrays.
On this site the viewer can see both pencil drawings and oil paintings of the contemporary west. Whether it’s horses or cowboys, kids and horses, wildlife drawings and paintings, or majestic western scenery, you will find it in Randall’s beautifully detailed drawings and paintings.
Annette Randall also offers custom portrait commissions of horses, dogs, children or a favorite pet. Collectors can choose either a pencil drawing or an oil painting for the perfect effect.
