Painter Jean Chandanais Bohlender attraction to the cowboy way is apparent in her work. "I love painting cowboys. I love their spirit, their skill, the challenges they choose to face and the fact that they are only there because they want to be. They respect the land, the animals and each other. They work together for the good of all, and their word is the only contract you need." More information is available at www.jeanbohlender.com.  Pat Doughty works both with canvas and with glass to create impressions of light and color. She earned her BA from Carleton College, Northfield, MN, and began exploring artistic expression at the Art Center of Minnesota. She lives and works in two locations offering continuing inspiration: Northern Minnesota in the summer, and Southern Arizona in the winter. A studio artist, she finds her inspirations on plein air painting trips, and on travels with her husband as they tour our country's National Parks and scenic back roads in their antique cars. More information is available at www.patdoughty.com. Also on display until March 3 is an exhibit of carriages from the collection of the Tucson Rodeo Parade Museum.
