Rolex No. 6
Steeplechase competition requires the horse and rider to become one as they take on the obstacles that await them around this course. This horse and rider meet the challenge of number 6, which consists of a mound of dirt and a fence. Muscles bunch and explode as they tackle the jump.
Supreme concentration is needed in order for both the horse and the rider to successfully navigate the steeplechase course. This tough competition is only for riders and horses who know each other so well that they can anticipate their next move.
This depiction is a 16×20 oil painting on canvas that has been shadowbox mounted.

No matter how civilized the world becomes, there will always be a place for the cowboy. Cattle will always need to be moved from pasture to pasture, and there will always be fence that needs tended. Not only are cowboys embedded in history, they are a way of life all to themselves.
No one understands the cowboy like another cowboy. They are nomads and industrious. They work hard and play harder. They have an unspoken connection to the animals they tend, and they understand their horses better than their women.
These cowboys are coming in from a hard day on this 11×11 acrylic painting collage. This piece is 15×15 when framed.

Cattle drives and roundups are hard work. Maybe things have changed since the cowboys started doing a lot of their ranch work on ATVs, but there are still a few that use their horses to move their herds from pasture to pasture.

The dust flies, mud is slung and horses get tired and cranky. All of this hard work is the life of a cowboy. It is no wonder that this cowboy is ready to take his dusty boots and tired behind back to a big dinner and a cold drink.

Onto the Track
Horse racing is an exciting event for both the spectators and the jockeys. This jockey is coaxing his Thoroughbred to the starting gate by talking softly to him and nudging him with his voice. The horse knows that the race depends upon him, but he also understands that they must work together. He also knows that it feels great to stretch his legs and do what he was born to do, and that is compete for the win.
You can smell the hot summer sun on the dirt and hear the movement of the crowd as they clutch the race program in their warm hands. All their attention and money is on the horses coming to the post. Will our beloved number 6 win?
This moment of anticipation is captured in this 14 1/2x 19 1/2 acrylic painting on board that has been framed.
