The above is an oil painting, 18x14 inches. A bronco-riding cowboy at a rodeo in Colorado.
After living here for many years I finally got to the rodeo circuit this summer, and was very impressed with the skill and courage of the participants. It also provided a great many painting ideas, as there are many dramatic moments in the course of an afternoon at the rodeo. Most of the bronco-riders and bull-riders end up in a position like this rider (who after a direct trip to the ground immediately got up, brushed himself off and walked off the field unharmed)
I call the painting "Game Over".
