The Hard Way Down

Colored Pencil on bright red Canson Pastel Paper

Colored pencil 'painting' of a bullrider at a rodeo event in Victoria, B.C.. The portrait is on a bright red Canson pastel paper.

Rodeo is a blend of both performance and contest. Rodeo's performance level permits pageantry and ritual which serve to revitalize the spirit of the Old West while its contest level poses a man-animal opposition that articulates the transformation of nature and dramatizes and perpetuates the conflict between the wild and the tame.
