Artist Notes
Although cowboys are identified primarily with the American (U.S.) West, Florida too is a major haven for this waning breed. This work was intended to show sluggish and cautious movement by the reflective properties of the trashing water and pensive gaze of the reluctant cows. The work was done entirely in color pencil using a "hot burnish" technique to achieve an oil-like finish. Because color pencil is a wax-based medium, the application of heat (i.e., hair dryer) during the burnish process significantly improves the color blend, albeit, the process is very risky since it cannot be undone, corrected or overpainted.
