Lot 35: Steve Atkinson (21st century), "Cowboy Up!" oil on

Steve Atkinson (21st century), "Cowboy Up!" oil on linen. Linen: 20"H x 30"W; Frame: 26.5"H x 36.25"W. Signed lower left, "Atkinson OPA". Steve Atkinson comments, "Cowboys are a tight knit bunch. When they're working together, they have to know they can count on one another when times get tough. Sometimes their lives depend on their pards. But it don't mean they ask for help when they can do it themselves. This scene depicts three such cowboys. One waits patiently as another finishes up taking care of his mount, while the third heads out, knowing his partners will catch up. After all, daylight's burnin' and the work ain't gonna do itself!"
