Delicately balances motion and stillness, portraying Lucas and the pony in a moment of transition.
Lucas, dressed in typical cowboy gear including a hat and a decorative scarf, appears focused and composed. The pony, depicted with attention to the texture of its coat and mane, follows obediently. The stark white background focuses the viewer’s attention on the subjects, highlighting the artist’s skill in rendering fine details such as the facial expressions and the folds in the clothing.
The piece communicates themes of care, responsibility, and the connection between humans and animals. Wheeler’s use of graphite lends a softness to the image, enhancing its reflective and calm atmosphere.
“…the essence of Patagonia in a way that’s both nostalgic and timeless.”
“…narrative and evocative.”
“…a story that feels both personal and universal.”
