Winners were chosen early on and included artists both locally and some as far away as Texas. The Best of Show and first place prize for paint- ings was awarded to Ron Spears of Reno, Nev., for his piece entitled “Canyon Stray.” It depicts two men on horseback trying to rope a calf. “The artists are saying Best of Show Ron Spears “Canyon Stray” Drawing First — Cali Roberson “Stueve team” Second — Jamie Means “Sortin Pairs” Third — Cali Roberson “Stall Fronts” Painting First — Ron Spears “Canyon Stray” Second — Kathy Sarman “On Earth As It Is Heaven” Third — Roberts Baer “Friesian Stal- lion” piece takes her 30 to 40 hours.

Bill Harvey, 67, of Oak- dale, stopped by the art show Thursday to see Roberson’s work, he said. He lives near her family and was curious. “I like just Western things,” he said. After seeing Roberson’s first place piece, Harvey was impressed. “It’s as good as you can get,” he said. “It looks like the real thing.” Daily News photo by Chip Thompson Wine and cheese tasting was featured Thursday evening at the Art Show. it’s very realistic,” Daugh- erty said. “The quality and realism is outstanding.” Daugherty will receive $2,000, which is a $1,000 cash prize for each award.

Buyers are looking for the best horses, and those being sold must be of top notch quality, so what makes a good horse? “A lot of miles makes a good horse,” said Lela Poulsen of Malta, Idaho. She intends to find a good home for her 5-year- old black gelding Lynx Gato, which she has raised and trained to round up and work with cattle. She has invested a lot of time into the horse and knows she has trained him well for work on a ranch, she said. Maynard Alves of Red- mond, Ore. said a good horse must have athletic ability, an all around good disposition and be trainable. Those are all qualities Avles said can be found in his horse MJA Commander. “This is an extra nice horse,” Alves said of his 5- year-old sorrel gelding. Jayce Bennetts of Cot- tonwood said horses that are not easily spooked and are gentle, make the best work- ing horses. “They have to be light in the mouth, good with every- body and be able to go through anything,” she said. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.co m.
