Story Behind the Painting

“I worked hard to connect the cowboy to the future. There are going to always be ties to the past. I also wanted to express the peace and tranquility of the Western lifestyle and a sense of calm with horses in the background and the warm colors.”

“If I put a face on the subject, viewers tend to look at the face and not put themselves in the scene,” Cox explains. “Also, you don’t know if the cowboy is a cutter, rancher or team roper. I want everyone to relate to him, whether they’re trainers, trailer riders or everyday horse-lovers.”
