Plains Vigil

I have always been drawn to the quiet vigilance of the pronghorn—the way it stands in the open and seems to belong completely to the land around it. In Plains Watcher, I wanted to capture that still, watchful moment when the world feels wide and silent, and even the smallest shift in the grass carries meaning. This painting reflects the beauty of the prairie in soft earth tones, delicate wildflowers, and a sky that holds the last light of day. The pronghorn’s poised stance speaks to the grace and resilience of life on the plains, where survival depends on both strength and awareness. For me, this piece is about more than an animal in a landscape. It is about presence, calm, and the kind of wild beauty that asks us to slow down and pay attention.
