Next Move
Acrylic on Canvas
24" × 24"
 
With only the slightest glimpse of her face beneath the brim of a bowed cowboy hat, Next Move invites the viewer into a moment of quiet anticipation. The horse remains largely outside the frame, shifting the focus to subtle gesture rather than spectacle, while leaving the narrative deliberately open-ended.
 
Expressive brushwork sweeps across a vibrant pink background, contrasting with the painstakingly rendered lace of the cowgirl's blouse. This balance of energetic mark-making and meticulous detail creates a sense of movement, mystery, and restraint, capturing the tension of a story just before its next chapter unfolds.
