Bob Coranto 'Relay Horses in camp, Crow fair 2000: “August celebrations maintain the culture, in this age of incredible change”' SmallWork
"Crow Fair is a nearly hundred-year-old tradition," says Bob Coronato, "held each August for the reunion of family clans and the celebration of Crow Indian culture. I have attended Crow Fair for many years and I'm always impressed with the singing, the relay horse races and the thousands of tepees. The Crows fought governmental pressures to change, and as a result being at the fair is like going back in time, because their culture has been amazingly preserved. It's uplifting and I look forward to it, year after year."

Bob Coronato 'No Room ... for Amateurs!'
"In the open country of Wyoming, the ranches are big, the grass is plentiful and the country is rough," says artist Bob Coronato of No Place … For Amateurs! "With few people for hundreds of miles, this is perfect cowboy country. I was on a brand crew with some of the best hands I'd ever had the privilege to work. With the Montana Badlands in the distance, we were gathering from 10,000 acre pastures and branding about 300 cows a day for about 12 days straight. I use times on the brand crew to add the grit and character to my art that only living the life can inspire. I was working with Mark, who we called "Gootz", roping and dragging calves when I saw the image I knew I had to paint-a vision that perfectly captured the spirit and freedom of the cowboys who work the rough country."

Bob Coronato 'June 9th in the Black Hills ...'
"This was a day I'd been waiting for since I was a kid," says cowboy artist Bob Coronato about his latest release. Coronato relates the genesis for this piece, based on his experience working on a ranch on the border of South Dakota and Wyoming. "I was there to help the Foreman, a colorful, tough old man of few words, move cows to their summer pasture. We got up at 4:30 a.m. and my friend George suggested I wear my heavy winter gear. Since it was 75 degrees the day before, I thought he was pulling a prank. I decided not to take a chance and brought the gear. I saddled up my horse, which was bucking and kicking to shake out the cold.
Hoping to get a good view of the thousands of cows snaking up the limestone canyon, I went to the front and took a small bunch ahead to point the rest of the herd. The temperature dropped as we got higher into the mountains and the rain turned to large wet flakes covering the canyon walls. As the cows were heating up, steam started to rise off their backs until billowing clouds rose up through the canyon like a train puffing through the Black Hills. I was glad I had my slicker and wild rag around my neck as the snow turned into a blizzard. I sat tucked up under a pine tree branch listening to the flakes through the trees, hoping I'd never forget a detail of this amazing day. As the snow collected on my hat and the black dye ran down my back, I couldn't wait to paint this scene, unfolding before my eyes. With about ten inches of snow on the ground, George and I rode up the side of the herd yelling 'this is the life for me!'"

Bob Coronato 'The Horse Wrangler gather´d the morn'
The Horse Wrangler Gather'd The Morning Mounts:
"One That Had'n Lived The Life ... Couldn't Paint a Picture ...
To Please The Eye, of One That Had!"
Like many kids, artist Bob Coronato grew up fascinated with the cowboy life. When he started to paint in earnest, he sold a painting to a man who thought he was good, but said he would be much better if he knew something about real cowboys. Upon graduating from Otis/Parsons Art School, he moved to Hulett,Wyoming (population 409) finding ranches that still "cowboy" in the old ways, realizing that the west he was searching for as a kid was still there, evidenced by Them's a Bunch-a Bronc Stomp'n...Sun
Fish'n...S.O.B.'s.
"I was once part of a brand crew that traveled with a 1880s chuck wagon," Coronato says of The Horse Wrangler... "Each evening, we would set the horses free to find water and grass. And each morning, before the sun came up, the horse wrangler rode out in the darkness to gather the horses from were they wandered the night before. As the ground started to shake and the wrangler drove the horses over the hill in the corral, I knew a long day was about to begin .... But I couldn't wait, it was like being part of a special history."
