This painting represents a pivot in my artwork to a more expressionistic style. The energy and effort of the cowboy to wrangle a steer is highlighted by the fiery colored dirt flying from both participants.
As a Colorado artist, my paintings reflect the rural and southwestern lifestyle that surrounds me. My typical style leans toward realism and I enjoy capturing a moment in time that the viewer can relate to. It could be a gentle hand motion, a favorite memory, a pet or an action scene like “The Wrangler”.
