Scratch That
About this artwork
This longhorn was located at a ranch in Southern Colorado, shares artist Heather Foster. I am always amazed by longhorns because I expect them to be clumsy in trying to balance those horns reaching out so far. I imagined it would be like a dog carrying a huge branch trying to fit through a door. In reality, they know exactly where their horns are and how to navigate with precision. This character was using his horn to scratch an itch that would otherwise be hard to reach and in the process created a crazy dynamic pose.
