Ride 'Em Cowboy
Ride Em' Cowboy, detail, 18 x 24, oil on canvas
Ok, my secret is out. I love vintage cowboy figurines. Alright, it wasn't much of a secret. I collect them. I display them. I love them.
The background features a silk scarf with a wonderful picture of a cowboy on a horse. Each ceramic cowboy has his own palomino horse and a cactus to show us he is in the Southwest.
I like the hard, shiny figurines against the soft texture of the scarf and rug.
