Red Boots for Two

Oil on canvas

36" x 48"

In Red Boots for Two, an aging cowboy and a small dog share the same still posture and the same armor: a pair of vivid red boots. Rendered in nostalgic grayscale against a bold blue and yellow background, they appear suspended between past and present. The contrast between the cowboy’s weary body, his lowered gaze, and the dog’s quiet alertness, creates an intimate moment of tenderness and loyalty, while the matching boots become a symbol of identity, pride, and everyday resilience.
