Running Barrels

I revised the sketch which is in an earlier post. This painting will be in the Louisville 33rd Annual National Juried Art show in September 2018. It was one of only 100 pieces of the 400+ entries. The show includes photography and sculpture.

I am enjoying the cowboy theme series and will post a few more paintings soon!

This painting will be for sale at the above referenced show for $1500. Hope you enjoy the cowboy series!

Calf Roper Dismount

A large oil on canvas painting of a dismounting calf roper done in an expressionistic style.  I like to paint in a loose style especially when action is depicted.  34"x 44".

Bull Rider

A large, oil on canvas painting (30" x 46").  This is part of a western and rodeo series of paintings.

Calf Roper 20"x16" oil on canvas

​The action and intensity drew me to this image.  The horse looks off to the side in a wild eyed manner but stays on course due to his training.  The roper is snugging up the rope will staying on task--the mouth is taunt, the head is down, the arms doing their part! The calf is furry and fleeing. The late Nevada afternoon is hot and dusty and no one but the roper knows the struggle going on except perhaps the other cowboys awaiting their jobs.
