Ranch Pause
About this artwork
This is a foreshortened unique view of a working ranch dog taking a break, states artist Heather Foster. The cattle are loosely painted feeding on green pasture in the background. Although in the distance, the dog seems to be alert and still aware of them, with what they are doing and what is happening around them. The play on words is always a fun example of a little quirkiness, with a pause in her work and the paws in the foreground, holding great importance with their focus and resolution.
