JAMES BOREN "ROCKY MOUNTAIN RIDERS" WATERCOLOR & GOUACHE ON PAPER

James Erwin Boren (1921-1990) "Rocky Mountain Riders" Watercolor & Gouache on Paper. Signed and dated lower right. A noted watercolor and oil painter of western scenes and member of the Cowboy Artists of America, James Boren was born in Waxahachie, Texas, the son of a minister, and from 1971, he lived in Clifton, Texas. In 1959, he began selling cowboy paintings, and in 1964, he became the first Art Director of the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. He loved that job because he met so many of the artists he admired. He first exhibited there in 1969, having become a full-time fine art painter the year before. At his first exhibit, he sold thirty-eight of the forty paintings, and this success gave him the confidence to remain a full-time painter. He was named Texas State Artist of the Year, and as a member of the Cowboy Artists of America, won the gold medal in watercolor seven times. His paintings consistently reflected his belief that the American cowboy had the star role in the drama of the West - the most beautiful country anywhere.
