One day I was going for a walk on my neighbor's ranch. This scene just struck me, and I did a quick pen-and-ink sketch on the spot. I went back home and returned with my camera to take several shots. Back at home I did a quick preliminary painting, and knew I had to do a full-scale one. This was one of those pieces that practically painted itself.
I believe the tracks are coyote tracks, but the rancher who bought the work asked me to paint in a cow behind the fence. I like this version, though, because you the viewer can imagine the tracks to be anything you want.
