"Lone Star Bull"
Acrylic on Canvas
48 x 24 inches
Sept. 2006

 
         
  The subjects of this painting are a Texas Longhorn bull and the flag of Texas, the Lone Star state. Following my “Texas pride is everywhere” theme, I thought I’d rather not portray them in their traditional colors, but mix it up and have their colors and textures intermingle. The Texas flag background then is made up of the Longhorn’s white and brown spots pattern with the negative space between the spots forming the lone star. The bull’s head and neck reflect the vertical band of blue from the state flag and the red and white bands are represented by the spots of his midsection.
