James and Joel

This painting is of two longhorn brothers who are members of the Fort Worth Herd.  The Herd is driven down Exchange Avenue in the historic Fort Worth stockyard area twice each day and is a huge tourist attraction.  I donated this painting to the silent auction which will benefit the herd.  The auction is a part of the American Cowboy Gala on July 24, this week.  The reference photo is by Lavender Pathways photography's Lola Hardisty.  22 x 28, oil on canvas.
