 | Art brings me joy. I wouldn't be an artist if it didn't. But like everybody else in the world, I have a life outside of my art. I won't bore anybody with many of the details here, but sometimes life gets busy, and it becomes difficult to juggle life and art. I think the hardest part about being an artist isn't the skill required to draw. That's sometime that comes with time, patience, and practice. The hardest part for me is finding a way to push past the things life throws at me and continue drawing, even when the drawings stubbornly refuse to let me finish them. |

 Life can get busy, especially on a cattle ranch, and the busiest time for most western cattle ranches is the fall.
Usually starting in October for us, we ride the mountain gathering all of our cows so we can send them down to the areas where we will keep them for the winter and spring when we calve. The ride runs from October into November. During this time, I have little time for art, but I make up for it with a lot of opportunities to get not only good reference material but my favorite reference material. Photography opportunities are everywhere from the fall mountain scenery to the cowboys working the cows. |
