About The The Red Striped Shirt

The rider's freshly-ironed red striped shirt contrasts sharply with the butter leather of the rider's chaps  and his crisply tooled holster.

For those who have made a commitment to the trappings of life as a cowboy, this handsome painting portrays the textures that go with--the smooth leathers found on his chaps and saddle, the tooling on his holster, the finely grained striped cotton shirt, as well as the spongy saddle blanket meant to protect the horse's back from the stiff saddle perched on his back. The slick wooden handle of the man's revolver is in contrast to the braiden leather reins threaded around his fingers.

About Brad Diddams

(Born 1950) Brad Diddams treats all of his subject matter as a still life. Cowboys, cowgirls, their horses and corresponding gear are deliberate props for his paintings.  His more current work exclusively involves oil on canvas

Diddams studied art making at Arizona State University and theater at the University of Alberta. Currently he resides in Tempe, Arizona and is represented by a friendly space called The Gallery of Dreams in Saint David, Arizona.

Diddams commented "The cowboy beckons to an era that is perhaps in some ways, more desirable and intriguing than modern times."
