| The Stand Off |
Carol Rockwell – The Stand Off –
This work caught my attention because of
its unusual cropped composition, and then the more I explored it the more I
liked it. I like the unusual subject matter, the elevated perspective (as if you
are seated in the stands at a rodeo). I really like the hats in the bottom
left, and the shadow of the bull in the dirt, the details in the rodeo clown’s
face and gestures. The viewer can feel the stop in the action with both the
rodeo clown and the bull anticipating each other’s next move. Really lovely
little watercolor - a 21st century take on a “western” subject
matter. Artist has a very distinct
personal style.
