Did you know I used to live in Tucson?

I did, for years and years.  It was my coming of age town.  #backintheday

And interestingly enough, I never painted a horse. (a staple in western paintings). Always wanted to, just never got around to it. Note: "just never got around to it"  means "to scared to try" in artist speak.

Fast forward to now and I decided to suck it up and paint a horse.  I had so much fun, I decided to paint another.  My Tucson roots are showing in the rodeo themed painting.  There was a great bar, called The Buckskin that had steer wrestling out back every Sunday and a great wooden dance floor. #cowboyslovetodance  #goodtimesforsure
I think there are more horses in my painting future. (even if they don't fit the tropical profile)
​
The young colt is named
"Fireball"


The saddle bronc and rider
is titled
"Hangin' tough"

Both of these paintings are part of my Summer Sale
Take a look now because the sale ends July 7, 2019
