Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com This painting was done from several photos taken at a cattle round up. I have gone to a few of these round ups and there is always a steer or and older cow that just doesn't want to go through the shutes. I suppose they don't like getting shots either. This steer was giving the cowhands a hard time. I think the only one that liked it was the dog. Cow dogs love their job. He really did a good job of helping to get that steer back. The horses too. Just the pressure of the riders knee against the horses side or a slight tug on the reins and the horse knows what to do. It didn't take long to get this steer back toward the pen to go through the shute. © AnnHoffpauir

This little painting was done around Brady, Tx. It is a size 8x10" and painted in oils. It's beautiful country out there. © Ann Hoffpauir
