A cowboy on horseback lassoes a steer across an expansive arid landscape dotted with sage brush, while distant riders and mountains fade into hazy atmosphere under a cloud-filled sky. Russell's painterly technique captures the dusty ochre and tan earth tones against soft blue skies, infusing the scene with movement and the raw energy of the Old West frontier. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
