Pyrography with oil colour on basswood.  16 x 12

Long Ride Home is available for purchase in the Shop Section or by contacting me directly.

Prints and Cards are available for sale at Fine Art America.

Working on the TV series Cowboy Country had a strong influence on my wood burning. Part of the show profiled several Western artists and told their stories. While much of the artwork is amazing I think I was most influenced by the passion and spirit of the Artists.

In terms of composition, my goal for Long Ride Home was to depict a scene that spoke of nostalgia and work ethic. I chose to use oil color more prominently than usual because I wanted the warmer colour to liven up the wood burning. Yes, it was a hot dusty day, but at least the sun is out!
