***Winner of BOTH the Art of the West Magazine and People's Choice award at the
Women Artist of the West's 52nd Annual National Exhibition.***
The gear of the vaquero has always fascinated me. It is a functional art form
passed down through centuries. Traditional vaquero gear is made by hand and is a work of
art in and of itself.
In this pencil drawing, I feature a close-up of a bridle horse’s face
highlighting the details of his sterling adorned bridle, his braided rawhide bosal
with a horsehair mecate rope and his sterling silver spade bit.
I loved the challenge of capturing each form and texture and
hopefully have honored this rich and beautiful tradition.
This original 40" x 30" pencil drawing is created on a water color panel and protected with a
clear acrylic coating. It is framed in a contemporary 1 1/4" wide black frame.

The purpose of art is to wash the dust of daily life off our souls.
