For Sale (part of the Mid-Career Retrospective)

Portrait of a Cowboy, 12x12, 2025,  oil on linen.

This portrait presents a quiet, introspective study of character and presence. The figure is depicted with a direct yet contemplative gaze, emerging from a softly atmospheric background that allows subtle shifts of color and light to carry the emotional tone of the work. The broad hat and loosely tied bandana suggest the traditions of the American West, while the restrained composition keeps the focus on expression and psychological depth.

Careful attention to surface, edge, and temperature relationships creates a sense of immediacy, balancing painterly passages with refined observation. Warm and cool notes move across the face and clothing, giving the portrait a living quality while maintaining an understated elegance. The result is both timeless and personal — a study not only of likeness, but of mood and identity.

This painting is part of the Mid-Career Retrospective at the Booth Museum and will remain with the exhibition collection through September 2026. The work will be available for collection or shipping following the close of the exhibition.
