A cowboy on horseback leans forward with a lasso raised high, his mount captured mid-gallop across dusty ground in a dynamic pose of action and skill. Rendered in warm ochres, browns, and blacks with loose, expressive brushwork, the figure embodies the spirit of the American West with an authenticity born of careful observation and artistic mastery. 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.
