"The Professional" 6 x 8" Original Pastel
© Trish Stevenson

A horse that is used to "pick up" cowboys at the rodeo is very well mannered and knows his job inside out. He has to remain calm in exciting circumstances as he and his rider get in the middle of wild broncs to insure the safety of the bronc rider. I never tire of watching a pick-up horse and rider do their job at rodeos as there is always great action to watch. I find it very inspiring as far as artwork goes. Here is a calm moment before the storm as the wise cow pony checks out his surroundings and waits for a cue. SOLD

Draft Horses

"Quittin" Time"
9 x 10" Original Pastel
© Trish Stevenson

Horses never cease to amaze me. Like these draft horses, so willing to be the beasts of burden for their humans, wearing all the gear necessary. Willing, but after a long day, tired and ready to quit for the day.
