Gait [final]

Gait is a 24" x 30" acrylic painting on stretched canvas. The painting was inspired by a branding day in 2009 out in Cardwell, Montana. This cowboy was walking his horses to their trailers after a long afternoon branding cattle. He was on his way to the next ranch and more branding. It is impressive to see neighbors pitching in and all helping each other out. There is a particular look to a true cowboy gait - long, confident and fast but not hurried.
