This is a portrait of a friend of mine who runs a cattle ranch. I feel like he is the quintiscential rancher. His struggles and his successes are the stories that somehow speak to us all, whether we live in a suburb or on 60 acres.
His books are a resource, but in truth his life is a book that took decades to write, years to understand, and only minutes to be inspired by. In truth, we are all ranchers, living lives too big to condense into a six second instagram video, are we not?
Framed to 13.5" x 13.5"

Here is a close up detail of the portrait and book titles in this piece:
