Blondes

David Devary is one of an emerging group of so-called "New West" artists, who celebrates the myths of the American West. His oil and gold-leaf paintings, boldly colored and dramatically toplit, present contemporary cowboys and cowgirls in the guise of romanticized American icons. Posed like glamorous fashion models on the sides of a beautiful Palomino, their eyes shadowed by a low-tipped cowboy hat, the women on this Pony intentionally glorify the freedom and self-confidence we associate with "the cowgirl".
