Original ink wash painting by Western Canadian artist Alexandra Verboom Fritz of a close up of a cowboy’s hands. This painting captures a moment of national pride at the local ranch rodeo, as a cowboy holds his hat over his heart in a gesture of respect while the national anthem is sang. He holds his reins in his other hand in a relaxed manor showing the ease with which his mounts stands to attention in the grand entry line. The simplicity of the Indian ink grey scale brings an honesty and vulnerability to the painting.
“Cowboy Respect” is an original ink wash painting on 13 x10 inch water colour paper, matted and framed, with a hanging wire installed. Ink wash paintings are often mistaken for pencil drawings, but they are actually paintings done with Indian ink using a water colour technique.
