The Rodeo Life

Postby Sakarilynx » Tue Jul 16, 2013 6:07 pm

"From a stick horse to a quarter horse,
The saddle has been my home.
I've always walked in leather boots
I've always rode alone."
-Rodeo Road, Holly Williams


After attending a multitude of rodeos this summer, I felt inspired to do this delightful picture. ^^ I hope that the cowboy way of life never dies. It is a way of life that has been in my family for generations, and still stands strong. I can proudly say I go on a cattle drive twice a year with family and friends, and my favorite place to be is in the saddle of a horse. I've always wanted to barrel race, but I have never had the opportunity to give it a try. Perhaps sometime in the near future I will give it a shot!

My first time doing a silhouette picture, and I'm quite happy with it.

wow. this is awesome!
welcome to our cave of rock and stone,
this is where we call home,
the mist swirls as night draws in,
together as one, we are kin,

we will not give without a fight,
hide in the shadows, black as night,
every crack, every fold,
we are the tribe of forgotten worlds.

No, I won't be going to that one. That one is a long drive for me. I go to rodeos close to home. ;) My dream is to go to the rodeo finals in Vegas though.

This is gorgeous... but i can't help but to think about Supernatural (I'm really obsessed)
But i mean it reminds me of Dean Winchester the one episode where they try to get Phoenix ashes...

You go girl! We have to keep this alive. Lots of people forget that this country was founded from the saddle of a horse. :3 Also, barrel racing is amazing and fun. :D When you get a chance you should try it out.!

I've never seen Supernatural, but that picture definitely has a very similar feel to mine.

It's so true...the legacy of the cowboy will hopefully always live on! I hope and pray I get a chance to barrel race one day. I'm going to have to work on fulfilling that dream. ;)

Usually I'm not a fan of silhouette pictures, but I loveeee this drawing!
I like how you made it your own by changing the background color and slightly changing the pose of the man
So beautiful!!
