“Wound Up” is a monochrome study and reflection on form vs. function. This painting showcases a lasso, a tool made for dynamic movement, at rest and waiting for its next adventure.

I got the inspiration for this painting while grabbing some gear out of my sister and brother in law’s saddle house up in Montana. They have this exact lasso hanging up on the wall, waiting for their next ride. I took a photo of it, knowing I’d want to one day use it as a reference for a painting.

“Wound Up” is framed in a natural pine floater frame and is available for sale.
