I was biking in Utah this summer and came upon this scene of Longhorn cattle reposing in a field. It just surprised and delighted me. I felt somehow I had been transported to Texas! I loved the contrast of the setting (mountains in Utah) to the actuality of the subject.

PAT O’BRIEN • WAOW Associate • AZ • www.patobrienartist.com I received my BFA from the University of Cincinnati, DAAP program, majoring in painting and then received by MA from Miami University, Oxford, OH. Recently, I have been exploring new styles and techniques in oil painting. This has been a very challenging yet rewarding experience and has expended my artistic capabilities. The beauty is awe inspiring, from the rugged mountainous terrain, the breath taking sunsets and the beautiful color canyons; the southwest has much to offer.
