| Heading Home- 12 x 24 Original Acrylic |
Every year at this time I turn my focus to my entries into the annual Helldorado Art Show and Rodeo that is put on by the Elks Club here in Las Vegas. It is about the best art show I have participated in and again this year I am looking forward to adding my entries to the assortment of great Western art that I know will be there. It is a great afternoon.
In this piece that I just finished, I am trying to capture the excitement and strong emotion felt by both horse and rider as home comes into sight. The curious cow paused from her grazing to stare as they quickly pass by.
Even before urging from the rider, the horse has picked up his ears and quickened his pace. His long black mane flows outward as it begins catching the breeze as he trots down that familiar road. There is cool water, oats and sweet alfalfa waiting inside the doors of the big red barn. The rider knows that very soon the aroma of his dinner cooking should soon begin filling the afternoon breeze. It was a good run and both horse and rider have enjoyed the freedom of their time together, but now it is time to be heading home.
