The Cowboy’s Life
(excerpt)
The bawl of a steer,
To a cowboy’s ear,
Is music of sweetest strain;
And the yelping notes
Of the wild coyotes
To him are a glad refrain.

The Herdsman
This sketch of The Herdsman was one of my early sketches (2010). I was experimenting with different grades of pencil lead to see what values and textures I could create. It turned out better than I expected, and I had fun doing it.
