Walter Piehl is an artist from Minot, North Dakota who pioneered an abstract style of Western art he lovingly calls "Western Americana." Others have called it "colorful cowboy crap."
Piehl paints what he loves and knows. His father was a stock contractor, and Piehl grew up announcing rodeos. He tried riding broncs for a little bit, but in his words, he was "pretty sorry at it."
Piehl loved to draw from a young age, and his affinity for painting translated into the energetic, colorful and abstract creations you see below.
