Pair and a Spare

Oil on Canvas, 48h x 48w 

“This painting depicts a special hideout of mine known locally as Beaver Meadows near the little cowtown of Augusta, Montana. As I neared the end of the painting, I added one more eagle to avoid an even number. A rancher neighbor when seeing it, used a ranch term for a cow and her calf accompanied by a twin or possibly an orphan calf —and said ‘A pair and a spare.’ Nothing could improve on that.”
