Lorna Dillon, Long Days and Short Nights, oil, 8X16

Lorna Dillon

My art depicts cowboys and cattlemen, their horses and cattle, and their ranches and rangeland.

In the West, we have a rich heritage of events that shaped our country. In California, that heritage is especially colorful with the early influences of the Spanish and Mexicans. Growing up in Southern California, exposure to that culture permeated most of my everyday life. Now in later years, I appreciate the extent to which that culture has contributed to our ranching history.
