Cowboy on Blaze Faced Sorrel Horse by thecowboystore Here's a photo I took at a ranch rodeo in Montana. Ranch rodeo is a great sport!  It's basically a bunch of neighboring ranchers, who get together, and form teams, to compete against each other.  Events are "branding" and "wild cow milking" among other things. The competition is fierce and lively-a great spectator sport! This print is wrapped around the edges of the canvas, and has no need for framing.  You can purchase it by clicking... Read Full Story

Nice little dragon fly came to sit on the antenna of our car.  I liked the way the light shone through his wings. If you'd like to see more of my photography, check out my Red Bubble gallery, Donna Ridgway's Nature of Montana Photography. Read Full Story

http://www.rimrockhumanesociety.org/ I was contacted the other day by the Rimrock Humane Society and asked if I could donate a piece of art to their upcoming event, "Wine and Whiskers".  Rochelle was so nice, I couldn't tell her no, so I sat down at my desk and painted "Corki". Corki was a real dog, who belonged to my cousin. She was a ranch dog, rode the four wheeler, went fencing, rode in the pickup, did all the things ranch dogs do!  She was so happy about her life with my cousin, she... Read Full Story

Buster I'm doing chores for my neighbor while she helps her family harvest their grain.  I've been doing her chores for the last two weeks.  I love her animals.  She spends so much time with them, that they seem human most of the time!  This is one of her dogs.  I had so much fun painting him like this! This painting is 6X6 inches in size, and done with acrylic paints. On another subject, it's fire season in Montana.  A large fire has blown up in bug kill areas in the Bob... Read Full Story

The Hollyhock Stalk It was amazing to Robert and I, but our hollyhocks grew to be 9 feet tall this year.  I know they carry a good six foot of flowers and blossoms on their slender stalks.  That is how I decided the stalk must be the hero in this drama!  For they hold the weight of the flowers, buds, and leaves without bending or breaking, and with only a little help from me.  I did tie some of the stalks to the yard fence at about the three foot level.   If you stand inside the...

I was doing chores for my neighbor, feeding her horses, llama, goats, dogs and cats when I heard a horrible racket near the house.  I ran to see what was happening and the mama cat was terrorizing this King Fisher! The poor little bird was so disoriented, she was trying to fly away, but couldn't figure out where to go.  When she made her loud calling racket, the cat ran off in fear,  but the bird was in an L shaped corner of the house and every time she tried to fly, she'd bang into the wall...

Here's one of my most recent paintings.  (I'm back in the studio again!  Please sing that to the tune of "Back in the Saddle Again!" :)   This little painting is called, "Moon over Montana" and it's 4X4 inches in size, on a gallery wrapped canvas. You can frame it if you wish, or leave it unframed, and hang it as it is.  The painting continues around the edges of the canvas.  A painting that doesn't need a frame, is a great bargain!  You can purchase this painting in the Artist Peeps R Us...

In this photo, I fell in love with the blue coloring and the patterns formed by the tree branches.  It has so much rhythm and movement, it's like watching Dance with the Stars. I was sitting in my little blind along the Sun River when these ducks came floating by.  I sat and watched them for quite a while.  I took a few photos, and they didn't notice me at first.  Finally, one of the ducks became uneasy.  I don't know why, I think the noise of my camera shutter  got to him.  When he took...
