Our Theme of the Month for October is Western and Native American Art. We have a great selection of Western art including cowboys, cowgirls, horses and many Native American canvases and prints. Our custom frames really set these pieces off, further portraying the western theme.
This month we feature the works of Chris Owen and Howard Terpning.
Purchase any framed art by Chris Owen in the month of October and receive a $50 gift card to use on your next purchase.

Shades of Autumn
by Chris Owen
Chris Owen's working cowboy themes are a representation of authentic, operating ranch activities. Once known for painting predominantly with gouache, he now paints with oils as well. Mr. Owen majored in art at Montana State University, and was later the recipient of a scholarship to the acclaimed Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, where he studied for two years. He shows at the Coors Western Art Exhibit in Denver, Colorado and was their official poster artist in 2003. He also shows at the Cheyenne Frontier Days, Governor's Invitational Art Show where he has won the "Museum Purchase" and "Limited Edition Print Artist" awards. His painting "A Cowboy's Morning" won the international "Benny Award" for the finest Giclee in 2006. He is recognized as a contemporary western artist, whose art bears the hopes, dreams and passions, not only for himself, but for all who desire to
experience the spirit of the American West.

Medicine Horse Mask
by Howard Terpning
Quite simply, Howard Terpning is one of the most lauded painters of Western art. His awards are so numerous and he is honored with them so often, that to list them would require changing the count every few months. To name three would be to cite the highest prizes awarded to Western art: countless awards from the Cowboy Artists of America, the Hubbard Art Award for Excellence, the National Academy of Western Art's Prix de West and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Gene Autry Museum. Why such praise? Passion, compassion, devotion and respect for his subject matter, extraordinary talent in palette and brushstroke, an exceptional ability to evoke emotion both in his paintings and from those viewing them - all this and more has made Terpning the "Storyteller of the Native American."

Born in Illinois and educated at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and the American Academy of Art, he first gained attention from some powerful Time and Newsweek covers. Film fans praised his movie posters for such classics as The Sound of Music, Dr. Zhivago and the re-issue of Gone with the Wind. But his love of the West and Native American traditions saw his transition to fine art.
Terpning is a long-time member of the Cowboy Artists of America, which has presented him with Gold and Silver awards, "Best of Show" awards, and "Best Overall Show by a Single Artist" awards more than two dozen times. His book, The Art of Howard Terpning won the Wrangler "Outstanding Art Book" award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.

National Art & Framing Month
October is National Picture Framing Month, and thousands of frame shops and art galleries, including Heritage Gallery, will be celebrating with a variety of special events and programs designed to promote the enjoyment of art and framing as a part of daily life.
Founded in 1997, National Art & Framing Month is an opportunity to "Picture the Possibilities" that art and framing can bring to homes, offices and public spaces.
The National Art & Framing Month Council helps frame shops and galleries develop programs and marketing plans to bring awareness to the value of art and framing, especially during the month of October.
