Shop Authentic Western Art by Mike Capron
Explore the Spirit of the West
The Shop Art collection from Texas Cowboy Art offers an authentic look into the heart of the American West through the eyes of artist and cowboy Mike Capron. Each piece tells a story rooted in real experience—long rides, dusty corrals, and the humor that runs through ranch life.
This gallery showcases three main categories of artwork: oil paintings, pen and ink drawings, and fine art prints. Many originals are available for purchase, while select works that have already sold remain on display as part of Mike’s storytelling tradition, often offered as same-size prints.
When you purchase a piece from Texas Cowboy Art, you’re not just buying artwork—you’re owning a slice of western history captured by someone who has lived it.
Oil Paintings for Sale
Mike’s oil paintings are the boldest and most colorful part of his collection. They reflect the vibrant skies, rugged terrain, and everyday moments that define cowboy life. From gathering cattle to quiet camp scenes, these works combine strong brushwork and an eye for movement that feels alive.
Each oil painting is an original, painted on quality canvas and ready for framing. The depth and warmth of oil bring the light, dust, and energy of Texas into your home or office.
Many popular oil paintings are also available as same-size prints, allowing collectors to enjoy the same imagery at a more accessible price point. If you see an oil painting marked as “SOLD,” check to see if a print version is available in the same dimensions.
Pen and Ink Drawings
The Pen and Ink Collection highlights Mike’s storytelling skill and attention to detail. With nothing more than black ink and a steady hand, he creates scenes that carry humor, heart, and authenticity.
Pen and ink drawings are ideal for collectors who appreciate line work and character-driven scenes. These pieces often capture cowboy camaraderie, ranch humor, and daily work with precision and wit.
One of the most recognized drawings, “Tying Knots in the Devil’s Tail,” has been sold but remains a featured part of the gallery. This piece, based on a classic western story, is available as a same-size print.
Each pen and ink original is created on archival paper and signed by the artist. Prints of select drawings are also available in identical sizes to the originals, giving collectors flexibility in style and price.

Fine Art Prints
Prints are an excellent way to collect and display Mike’s art throughout your home or business. Every print is produced using high-quality materials to preserve the sharpness and texture of the original work.
Prints are available in the same size as the original artwork whenever possible. This ensures that the scale, detail, and balance of the composition remain true to Mike’s original intent.
Whether you’re decorating a ranch house, an office, or a guest lodge, prints make it easy to bring authentic Texas character into your space. They also make meaningful gifts for friends, family, or fellow western art enthusiasts.
All prints are carefully prepared in the studio, and free shipping is available on all orders. Please allow a short processing period before shipment to ensure quality handling and packaging.

The Art of Storytelling in Every Piece
Every artwork in Mike’s shop has a story. Some depict a day’s work—roping, riding, or resting after a long trail. Others capture the lighter moments of cowboy life or the timeless bond between rider and horse.
Mike’s approach blends craftsmanship with narrative, making each painting and drawing more than an image—it’s a piece of storytelling history. The balance of humor, realism, and tradition is what makes his art instantly recognizable and deeply personal.
Collectors often remark that his work feels “alive,” as if the characters might step out of the frame at any moment. That authenticity comes from years spent living the life he paints, not imagining it from afar.
