Buckeye Blake

Buckeye is so through a westerner, that it would never occur to mention it to him. His father was a rodeo cowboy who eventually worked for the Arizona Border Patrol, and his Great Grandfather, S. Coke Blake, was one of the pioneer breeders of Quarter Horses.

Buckeye has lived in Nevada, California, Montana, Idaho and now Texas. In the west, there is no livlier testimonial to regional, figurative expression than the art of Buckeye Blake.

United with a technique that exudes a kinetic vitality, a compelling wit and an unfettered whimsical style. Blake's paintings, sculptures and decorative work are transfused with life.

As a true son of the west, he is a reflection of regional characteristics, while his art is an equal reflection of Blake, the man.

Blake is in numerous private collections, museums and galleries. His show, Art on the Western Front a Retrospective, at the Whitney Gallery of Western Art in Cody, Wyoming, was well recognized by the art world.

His sculpture as well as his paintings can be commissioned. His work is shown at Big Horn Gallery in Cody, The Cowboy Legacy Gallery in Cave Creek, Arizona and his own studio in Weatherford, Texas. Please feel free to contact him about art, life or the cowboy way.
