Cowboys and Culture

Fort Worth is known as a city of cowboys and culture due to its preserved Western heritage and excellent artistic offerings.  I've been documenting in my sketchbook some of this variety and should have about 25 or so of these watercolors to show at Spring Gallery Night 2012.  

The Fort Worth Herd

"The Fort Worth Herd"    8" x 10"    Watercolor

After working on several large oil paintings, it's refreshing to paint a small watercolor in my sketchbook.  The subject of this sketch is our very own Fort Worth Herd.  Genuine Texas cowhands drive the longhorns along East Exchange Avenue in the "world's only twice daily cattle drive."  You can read more about the herd and the historic Fort Worth Stockyards here.
