The Roper

This is one of my earlier pieces from the beginning of my journey with my western and horse art portraits and paintings. Now, since my artwork has progressed, I find myself still drawn back time and time again, to this original portrait of western art. It still amazes me to this day, how I can achieve the power and intent of a fleeting moment, and it inspires me to be able to do more and more. I constantly keep my eyes open for those few and fortunate moments of unique opportunities to create something just a little bit different.

My brother-in-law is a Canadian Team Roper and I am fortunate enough to use him in some of my western rodeo art portraits. I thank my sister-in-law for putting up with the constant pestering I put her through for more ‘reference photos’. Thank you Pam!

“The Roper” is a western painting that captures that one intense, focused moment of whether or not he, the cowboy, achieves his goal… Will the rope lie upon its mark or will it miss?
