Ranch kids illustrate perfectly all that is good about ranch life. In today’s Ipod world of disconnected kids, the children of ranching families provide a glimpse into by-gone days. Well-mannered and hard working, these kids reflect what motivates me to surround myself with these kinds of people. This painting of a young boy named Brandon, shows him taking a break and resting his young back from a long morning gather, and savoring the knowledge that he was lucky to be born to this life.
