Native American Art,Whimsical Wildlife Coyote Painting "Coyote Spills The Stars" by Painter of the American West Nancee Jean Busse





36"x24" Acrylic on Yupo/Available HERE

 I’m currently completing a series of 6 paintings based on Native American legends. This painting is based on the legend: Coyote Spills the Stars. Here’s my retelling: 

 In the days of the earth’s beginning, when all creatures came up from the underworld, the Great Mother planned a sacred gathering. In preparation, she filled a jar with a countless number of stars. She selected a human being to carry the jar and place the stars neatly and carefully into the sky.

 Coyote was fascinated with the jar and couldn’t keep away. The Great Mother, knowing how full of mischief he was, admonished, “Stay away from that jar!”

 Coyote being Coyote, he waited until everyone was distracted with the festivities and crept closer and closer. He lifted the lid, just a bit, to take a little peek. When he looked inside, he was so astonished at the twirling, spinning, magical orbs of light that he accidentally knocked the jar over. 

 At first nothing happened and all of the stars stayed inside the jar. Coyote was so relieved! As he hurried to get the lid back onto the jar, it began to pulse, and then hum, and then glow! He was still hurrying, hurrying, when a few stars escaped from the jar and floated gently heavenward. Then the stars began to tumble out, faster and faster, until they were flying out of the jar by the millions, all shooting into the sky!

 All of the creatures at the gathering were astonished. The Great Mother was astonished. They watched as the stars shot crazily into the sky in a disordered, chaotic dance! 

 And this is the reason the stars shimmer and glow with no order or pattern; some here, some there. And why Coyote still lifts his face toward the sky each night and howls with laughter.

"THE LEGEND OF AURORA BOREALIS", Native American Art,Wildlife Bear Painting by Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West




I’m currently completing a series of 6 paintings based on Native American legends.

This painting is based on the legend: How the Aurora Borealis Came to Be.

Here’s my retelling:

 After the great flood, the planet tipped on its axis, plunging the North into long periods of darkness. In the North there lived a group of people who had been spared from the flood. But when they could no longer see the sun or feel its warmth, they became sad and afraid; cold and hungry.

 The Great Mother felt compassion for the People and told them to gather their belongings and walk south, where the sun would shine and provide bounty and warmth. But because there was no light and little food, many of the people perished on the dark, cold journey south.

 In a stroke of genius the Great Mother covered the top of the world with mountains and hills made of ice crystals. The ice crystals captured the sun’s rays and reflected them into the black sky and so illuminated the nomads’ path. They could then journey south under the shifting, humming rainbow of light and became the forerunners of many of the great tribes of North America.

 But the white bear stayed in the Great North. He stayed because he loved the beauty of the inky darkness, the music of whale song and sea birds, and the deep comfort of solitude.

Contemporary, Whimsical Wildlife, Bison Art Painting "How The Bison Got His Hump" by Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West

Western Wildlife,Contemporary Bison painting

I’m currently completing a series of 6 paintings based on Native American legends. This painting is based on the legend: How the Bison Got His Hump. Here’s my retelling: In the beginning days, the bison didn’t have a hump. He was fast and sleek and ran across the prairie having so much fun that he cared for nothing else. He didn’t notice (or didn’t care about) any small creature that got in his way. He trampled the birds and their fragile nests, he trampled the field mice, and the squirrels, and the foxes, and the rabbits. He crushed the flowers and the tender leaves that fed the prairie creatures. All of the creatures begged him to stay away, but Bison didn’t listen to them. He was having too much fun! The birds and other small animals cried so loud that Great Mother heard them. She ran ahead of Bison and said, “You should be ashamed of yourself!” She hit him on the back with a stick, and Bison hunched up his shoulders and lowered his big head, to ward off another blow. But Great Mother didn’t hit him again. She said, “From now on you will always have a hump on your back and you will always carry your head low because of your shame.” So this is why Bison has a hump, and why sometimes you see a happy bird or two on the back of a bison.

Art by Oklahoma Abstract Contemporary Equine Artist Jonelle T. McCoy

"Tension" 18"x24"x1.5" acrylic- available

It's been awhile since I posted, I've been busy but not so much on the art side. After the equine festival I was a part in NY, I came back home and felt somewhat out of sorts. There have been some changes in my private life that have good points and bad, I have guests coming for Thanksgiving that are staying a whole week, and soon after my husband has the first of his both knee replacements done. There is a LOT of preparation going on for the time he's recovering, getting wood cut, split and stacked since we heat with wood harvested from our own property, cleaning up in each room throwing out old stuff, donating other things and/or finding a new pile to put it in while another area gets the treatment. Sounds like an easy task? Ahhhh, no- it isn't. Small house, packrat type husband and a gal who really hates housework lol makes for slow going. I did put out the call for 2016 calendars, and I want to have some new work to put in it, but have found it hard to settle and focus on artwork. So much going on distracts my mind and me being scatterbrained doesn't help with the creativity. I guess you could say I am having a bit of creative blockage- caused by the busy list we face for a long haul of recovery during the winter- or by some other reason? I'm not sure. I do have a nice stack of started works, some smaller but more larger. So maybe say a prayer for me that I can find some peace in my mind, heart and soul to enter that special place where magic happens and I can connect what's inside to canvas. I can tell you all- it's something I will give thanks for on November 26th. 

If you've ordered a 2016 equine art calendar, and have yet to pay your invoice, please don't wait much longer or your count won't be included in the print run. I only print those that have been paid for in advance not counting my own number- so don't wait, and yes, I am still taking orders if you want one! Thank you.

 When my husband and I bought our home this old loading dock was left on the property. For us, it’s a symbol of the days when it was still a working ranch. The hills behind it change their disposition and color throughout the day. This painting shows the land in midsummer glory.

Art by Oklahoma Abstract Contemporary Equine Artist Jonelle T. McCoy

"Perigee Moon" 36"x36"x1.5" textured acrylic- SOLD

     September is nearly over, and what a busy month it was! Busy doesn't equate to painting time however though I did have a couple art related events going on. 
     The NY festival wasn't as I expected, I did enjoy meeting fellow equine artists however and talking to folks was fun and enjoyable. I was glad to have family there to support me and that made for great photo ops. 
     I entered 3 pieces in the OKC State Fair and did good- 2 first places and a third. In horse racing, that is good to be in the top three! I got a nice critique by one of the judges and that was a rare and welcomed treat. 
     On Sunday night I spent nearly 4 hours sitting in the front yard watching the perigee blood full moon total eclipse- that was a rare occurrence and I was thrilled to have clear skies to see it. It's fun to imagine what people thought back before science knew what was happening.
     With the advent of October just days away, it's time to start thinking about the upcoming holidays and for many- the beginning of taking orders for my annual equine art calendar. I will announce that soon, and will send out a newsletter mentioning it. You can sign up by going to the home-newsletter sign up page on my website here 
     For me here in Oklahoma, this is the beginning of better weather for horseback riding. Feels good to not just paint these wonderful animals but to go out and enjoy the world from the back of one!

Summer Sky

© AnnHoffpauir
This little western scene was painted while I was out in the Texas Hill Country.  There were cattle way out in the pasture and the sky was bright with some scattered clouds.  I could not see the cattle very well, so I just suggested them in the scene.

Oak Grove Retreat - Deer

© AnnHoffpauir
Sometimes life can pass ya by if ya don't slow down long enough to enjoy it.  This is a western scene painted from a visit my husband and I took a while back.  We almost passed up these deer eating acorns under the oak trees.  We stopped and slowly backed up on the old country road we were drivin' on.  I was barely able to get a couple of photos of the deer before they bounded off.

Titmouse II

  This little Titmouse was in a shrub near my back porch.  I like wildlife subjects to paint and one of my favorites are small song birds.  Where I live there is an abundance of wildlife.  Most of the time you just have to be patient and them, the birds and other critters will appear.  Observing them always benefits me in my artwork.  http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

Original Colorado Landscape Painting With Horse, Rider Sheep and Dog , "High Country" by Painter of the American West Nancee Jean Busse

I love painting the Meeker Sheepdog Trials. At the far end of the competition field the sheep wranglers release the sheep at the beginning of each run. That’s what this painting depicts. I love the colors of northern Colorado in autumn; brilliant sun on yellow fields, blue mountains, clear skies… Colorado at it’s most rare and beautiful!

Original Western Landscape,Equine, Cowboy Painting "Days End" by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse, Painter of the American West

This has been my year of painting the things that fill my soul with loveliness and beauty. The photo reference I used for this painting is one I took up in Kalispell a few years ago. It WAS the end of a long June day, and everyone was tired and ready to go home and call it a day. As the sun was setting and the hands were chatting quietly, these two horses reached out to one another with a nuzzle, and nickered softly. It was all perfectly beautiful. 


This painting won third place in 2-D art at the Women Artists of the West show “WAOWed in San Diego." 44th Annual Women Artists of the West National Juried Exhibition at the Women’s Museum of California, San Diego, CA. May 2 – May 31, 2014.

Some Wranglers

This painting was created from reference photos taken while attending a cattle round-up.  The cowboys were bringing the cattle in for their bi-annual shots, worming and that oily stuff for flies.  It was a long hot day but well worth it.
