 
  This Year's Poster Artist: Don Nutt Our poster artist this year is award-winning professional artist Don Nutt who grew up in the tiny eastern Washington town of Coulee City, where he still resides with his wife, Debbie, and their three children. “Our town rodeo arena was less than a block from our house, practically in my back yard. When they brought in stock for the rodeo or some other event, I’d sit on the fence and sketch the animals. I think I’m drawn to St. Paul because it reminds me so much of Coulee City, except the arena’s a bit larger,” Don laughs. Don paints in oils and watercolors, although he’s proficient in a number of mediums, including pencil, acrylic, and charcoal. He also creates etchings, engravings, and collagraphs, as well as numerous other types of hand-made prints. Western and wildlife themes dominate the majority of Don’s work, and he creates a lot of historical-based paintings. In 2006, he completed a 30 foot long mural for the Grant County (Washington) Historical Society, one of a number of public murals he’s designed and painted. He has recently finished a series of impressionistic landscapes, and is currently working on a series of oils depicting rivers and fishing, one of his other passions. Don has also illustrated three nationally-marketed children’s books, “Unique Monique”, “Marvelous Maddie”, and most recently, “Cowboy Mac”.Ordering your Rodeo Collector Posters These posters make great gifts for the art collector and/or rodeo fan.
