About me:

The gal with the horse is one of my paintings....it isn't a self-portrait, though it would be nice if it was!! So gentlemen, that being said, please stop telling me how sexy I look, and that I have a nice ass. That isn't me!!

Please view and purchase my art at my website, www.jkdooleyart.com

Vibrant colors and intricate details are the hallmark of my watercolors. From scarred, deep-hued worn leather and faded denim to the sparkle of silver and gold in the sunlight, I portray western images with a unique perspective, encouraging the viewer to imagine what lies beyond the borders of paint and paper.

Drawn (no pun intended!)into the art world at an early age, I was inspired and encouraged by my mom who was also a water colorist, and my dad who truly believes I can do anything I set my mind to.

Having grown up in the era of John Wayne & Gunsmoke then moving to Arizona while in college, it is no wonder that the main body of my art reflects the ruggedness and colorful way of life associated with the Old West.

In an interview, Western Horseman Magazine asked me to differentiate between the New West and the Old West. I believe “it isn’t events that have shaped my image of the West, but the spirit of rugged individualism with which everyday events were and are pursued. That rugged spirit remains. “

The people I meet while pursuing my art “still work very hard, believe in God, love their country and each other.” Although some of their daily chores may have been made simpler by modern technology and better equipment, I still find the values and beliefs that brought people out West in the first place remain solid today.

My award-winning watercolors can be found in collections across the United States and in Europe. I pursue my craft by attending rodeos throughout Arizona and the West, continually inspired by the dramatic plays of light and shadow on saddles, boots, chaps and other cowboy array.



A few of JK Dooley's watercolors!

Who I'd like to meet:

Rodeo cowboys and cowgirls
Ranchers
Horse owners
Musicians looking for CD art

Folks I admire, and would like to meet....in no particular order...

George Strait
Joe Namath
Brett Favre
Laura Bush
James Arness
Shuttle Astronauts
Joel Osteen

    My Christmas Wish For You !


    My Christmas wish for you, my friend !
    Is not a simple one
    For I wish you hope and joy and peace
    Days filled with warmth and sun

    I wish you love and friendship too
    Throughout the coming year
    Lots of laughter and happiness
    To fill your world with cheer

    May you count your blessings, one by one
    And when totaled by the lot
    May you find all you've been given
    To be more than what you sought

    May your journeys be short, your burdens light
    May your spirit never grow old
    May all your clouds have silver linings
    And your rainbows pots of gold

    I wish this all and so much more
    May all your dreams come true
    May you have a Merry Christmas friend
    And a happy New Year, too ..
    I wish you a merry Christmas !

    Peace, love and light to you and your family always.

    With great respect, Your Friend Bob

    Christmas is forever,not for just one day,
    for loving, sharing,giving,are not to put away
    like bells and lights and tinsel,in some box upon a shelf.
    The good you do for others is good you do yourself...

    Merry Christmas!
    Love Savvy xox
