AS WE CELEBRATE SOUTHWEST ART’S 49TH ANNIVERSARY THIS MONTH, IT’S ALSO A PERFECT TIME TO RECOGNIZE THE MAGAZINE’S DECADES-LONG TRADITION OF INSPIRING, engaging, and informing art lovers as they search for new paintings and sculptures to collect. In the following pages, we continue the tradition by presenting a sampling of fine artists who work in a variety of representational styles and genres, including wildlife, landscape, still life, and figurative. As you peruse this special section of artworks—all fresh off the easel or newly carved and cast—we hope you’ll find the next great piece for your collection
