"Before the Branding" by Chad Poppleton, 22 x 40", oil on panel. As a member of Cowboy Artists of America, Chad's passion for both art and the outdoors goes back as far as he can remember. Spending time on the farm and ranch with his father and grandfather, learning how to see with an artist's eye and observing the behaviors of the animals was instrumental to his future path as an artist. For this painting, Poppleton's excellent composition deftly conveys movement to a memorable effect. This painting is on display and available for purchase.
