The Longest Eight Seconds

Colored Pencil on bright blue Canson pastel paper

Colored pencil 'painting' of a bullrider at a rodeo event in Chile. The portrait is on a turquoise 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.
