About this Product
Prairie Friends
8X10 inch painting on 1/2 inch thick stretched canvas
Edges are painted black, painting is not framed but is ready for hanging.
This painting has many layers and textures on it's surface. As I lay down patterns and marks, a story comes to life. Here you see a woman/girl going out to the prairie to see her horse. Her dog is with them and it's a scene of joy and greeting.

Donna Ridgway grew up in Montana near a little town called Dupuyer. Her life was filled with animals and caring for the land.
She and her husband, Robert are now retired and spend their time camping, four wheeling, taking photos of wildlife, creating art and caring for their home. Her studio is in the back yard, and she spends a lot of time there, just creating art and letting ideas come to life.
Donna is a member of the Western Heritage Artists and participates in their annual show at Western Art Week in Great Falls, Montana. You can see her there at the Heritage Inn, usually in room 105. She's also a member of Montana Made products, and Cowgirl Artists of America.
More of her original paintings can be seen at Equis Art Gallery in Red Hook, New York. Choteau Arts in Choteau, Montana. Paris Gibson Museum, in Great Falls, Montana
She's a self taught artist who's drawn and painted her entire life.
How it’s Made
Made from archival materials, Golden and Liquitex paints, a stretched canvas that can be hung directly on the wall, it comes with wire hanger on the back.
This painting is built up of many layers of colors and textures. As the layers build up, the story evolves. I like to allow the process to tell me what it wants to become, it's very intuitive painting. The stories come from my life with horses, dogs and growing up on the prairie close to the land.
Shop Policies
I create fine art paintings that are made from artist grade materials. I love Golden and Liquitex paints. My paintings are mostly on stretched canvas, sometimes on wooden panels.
Other items I make might not be from archival materials, such as faces made from toilet paper rolls! But the products are made with care and if treated as art, they will last a very long time.
I do not do commissioned work.
