Artist’s Notes:

There is a camaraderie, a recognition of bravery, a salute of athleticism among the rodeo world. Just like any athlete, cowboys have their own language. This piece recognizes the language as well as the skill. There is a certain amount of respect for the animals that are a part of a rodeo. With ever changing guidelines for what is allowed within the arena it can be a hard and competitive world where cowboys are continuously finding their own personal technique and signature. To “keep ’em standing” is a quote of encouragement to stay true to the skills these cowboys have worked so hard to refine.
