A Texas longhorn stands in profile against a vivid turquoise sky, its massive horns extending dramatically across the composition. The artist renders the animal in bold gestural strokes of deep indigo and black, set against explosive passages of orange, yellow, magenta, and chartreuse that suggest a landscape in perpetual motion. 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.
