"Rodeo Veteran"
My husband has been involved with investing in rodeo bulls and this bull belongs to some friends of ours that own a rodeo production company. The bulls are powerful, impressive athletes. I have not only a great respect for them but have developed a real appreciation for their beauty. I don't know what it is about them but I love being around them.

I still have the original painting, which has been a great painting to send to shows, and I've had giclee prints made of it. The prints are already a popular seller and will be limited to 100 of the original size which is 11" x 14".

The painting is many layers of transparent oil and has great depth as well as a certain old world quality. One patron who purchased a framed print laughed and said she never thought she would ever have a bovine on her wall but she just couldn't resist this one. I hope she and the others who took hime home enjoy his presence.
