Back in Texas

Back in Texas brings a Western spirit to a minimal black-and-white composition. Painted on a thin canvas, the piece uses flowing outlines and solid black shapes to reveal a figure beneath a sweeping cowboy hat. Open white space allows the curves of the body and the fall of dark hair to define the portrait.

With the face hidden beneath the brim, posture becomes its own expression. There is an easy confidence in the figure, a sense of independence captured through a few deliberate lines. The piece pairs the familiar character of Western style with an intimate, understated elegance.

A lowered brim. A quiet confidence. A spirit of her own.
