The rustic oil painting studio of cowboy artist Bob Coronato probably looks more Western than the West ever did.

Its saloon-like false front is bedecked with sun-bleached bull bones and wagon wheels, and inside this veritable antique museum of a studio—in the tiny town of Hulett, Wyoming—the artist works on synthesizing the spirit of the West realistically on canvas.
