I love the thrill and excitement of the rodeo and barrel racing is always a crowd pleaser and a personal favorite of mine. In this painting I hoped to capture the drama and emotion both horse and rider experience as they attempt to negotiate the barrels in a race against the clock. And, of course, I wanted the viewer to be able to “see” and “feel” the dust as it is stirred up in the arena.
