I was fortunate enough to come across two Orren Mixer signed and dated paintings. One is of KING and is signed and dated 93. The other is of GO MAN GO and is signed, “Best wishes to Jerry and Claire Dyess”. The 93 is inside the “O” of his name. I have since seen tons of his paintings online, and I was just wondering the value of a signed, dated copy? Anyone have any idea?

I knew Orren as a Customer years ago when I worked at Lawrence Photo of Oklahoma, He was a GOOD Customer and became a friend .; His Art was Fantastic. Tonight going thou some Old papers ,Found a auction sale Matlock and Carol Rose sale October 1981 and Orren signed the Cover of Matlock and Peponita which he painted. Great Cover and decided to google his Name and found out he died. Great Artist and Friend

I have a print painted in the 60’s of Top Moon. The original burned in the Spencer’s home fire. Why do we never see any prints of Top Moon?

I was suprised to find this today several years after his death. I met him personally For the Quarter Horse World Show in Ok. back in the late 80’s He was doing a special Signed Limited Edition Print NBR 47/250 called Mother’s Pride 1989, Which I purchased from him that Day. What a wonderful Gentleman, and what a nice visit I had with him. I am proud to be an owner of this Beautiful Photo. My Respects to his family.

Orren Mixer is my great grandpa, and even though its been 5 years
Since he passed not one day goes by that I don’t think about him,
Like right now I was reading some of the short stories people have
Put on different websites every time I read one a few tears come to
My eyes, and although I wasn’t that close to him we would still love
Each other all the time, and I remember being 7, At his funeral looking
in on him in his casket and just bauling my eyes out. I guess that was
Very traumatizing for me and my body because I can remember it like
It was just yesterday. All I can say is we all miss you grandad and we
all love Wnd miss you very much! 🙂
