Mixed Media on Cradled Panel

Through Museum
When a roper singles out his 'target', much like a pitcher on the mound, he must prepare his lasso with a "wind up". I caught this cowboy's pose right as he was ready to throw the lariat in hopes of snaring his mark. His position reveals his focus on the goal, with shoulders tense, arms up, eyes searching for the moment to release the rope toward the strike zone. The moment passes within seconds, and we wait to see whether we will be praising his success or sympathizing his failure.
As an experiment, I prepared the surface of this piece using an acrylic base, twirling layers of a palette of reds, peaches and white. As it settled, I dabbed and tilted the panel, misting select areas with water, then allowed the paint to dry into fun textures and patterns. This became the dappled background for my stylized cowboy. I used only two values of Prussian Blue in oil for the silhouettes of figure, the horse and the rope. The lightest value of the cowboy, his hat, and portions of his saddle remained unpainted, revealing the acrylic base palette beneath.
It's my stylized version of the Pop Art era of my past.
"Wind Up" will be featured through the Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody WY this coming September 2025. More info coming soon!

As a studio artist, we often have a stash of thousands of references that we keep for future paintings. I've had this image in mind for several years but never got to it. Recently, as I was going through my references, she turned up once again and, this time, I decided it was her turn. I'm glad that I waited so long because my approach is so different from what it was several years ago. It's likely that I would have painted her in the stylized realism I'm know for. This time was different. I wanted to approach her with the pop art style I've been creating in my recent pieces, which is a style from the era of the 70s, when I was studying graphic design and illustration.
I separated the image into 4 values of her darker side and used a simple palette to illustrate those values. On the lightest value, which is the transition as her face goes into the light, I I chose a light red hue to provide a bit of exuberance in her face. The background blues and golds were created with a base of acrylics and metallics prior to the application of her face. I designed this as a way to give her an abstracted 'sky' to be in. It helped create a feeling that she's floating in the sky, as if she can see forever!

This cowboy from a local ranch participating in the Bozeman Roundup was preparing for the release of the calves to be cordoned off and roped in the timed competition with his team. His ropes are wound and ready for the run. His manner was steady and poised, with a self-assured position in his saddle. My goal was to characterize him as one who is confident of his skills as he is contemplating the approaching task.
The golden background was created to contrast with the simple desaturated
blues forming his figure on his horse, generating a feeling of the strong western sun on the arena.
NOTE: I use my own photos, so the composition is truly of my own design along with the memories from my experiences of the event.

Working cowboys are common in many areas of the West.
In some areas, annual competitions are held with ranch managers and ranch hands as the participating contestants. Similar to a rodeo but a lot more casual, they are typically called Ranch Rodeos or Roundups. The regional ranches participate in these competitions and, although not considered "professional" as those in the rodeo circuit, they are definitely professional in their skills.
What I like about these events is that I can get reference photos that are much more candid. In this way,
I can capture the mood of the working cowboy and infuse that feeling into the modern approach of my style.
This cowboy has nailed his objective - the calf who is perpetually-dodging the ropes to prevent his capture - and is ensuring the loops remain in place on the snared 4-legged critter. He glances behind him while nudging his horse forward to keep the ropes taut. The two of them are a team, each knowing his own duties to complete the mission - to be as efficient as possible with this routine. Although this is a common operation on a working ranch, in a Ranch Rodeo, the clock determines the team winners as they head for the goal of having the best timing.

Terry C Hall Bio
From the mid-1970s and on, my passion for art has led me to countless courses and workshops in life drawing, graphic design, and illustration, exploring the three main foundations of art – shape, value, and color. I spent 20 years working in the corporate world followed by co-owning a commercial art business with my sister, operating throughout San Diego County, eventually transitioning into a fine art career as a professional artist in 2009. I have since earned numerous awards while exhibiting in more than 40 major museum shows along with several gallery group exhibitions. My work, featured in several national magazines, most recently in the Jan-Feb 2022 Art of the West Magazine, has been purchased by both corporate and private collectors across the nation. Now residing in Bozeman, Montana, my contemporary style is a result of exploring the colors and essence of the West, viewed through the lens of more than 30 years of work in design and illustration.

sojourner
Oil on Canvas
40" x 40" x 1.5"
Through Gallery
I didn’t start out with the idea of creating a predominantly yellow-gold piece. Seriously.
The original idea was to create a value-based underpainting in yellow-gold that I would then add a contrasting color on top, somewhere in the violet range, allowing the gold to peek through. But as I was developing the piece, it spoke to me and told me that it needed to remain this way. I know that sounds weird, but it’s true!
After letting it rest for a couple of weeks in the palette of golden yellows, I decided to keep it as is. I added some hues of desaturated red-violet with a tint of pale blue on the horse and figure. This limited range of colors creates a feeling of quiet solitude for the rider as he approaches his journey ahead. He’s not lonely, he’s just alone.
“For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.” (1 Chronicles 29:15 ESV)
“Sojourner”, 40” x 40” oil on canvas wrap, currently unframed.

Local ranch cowboy events are my favorites to attend, and Bozeman holds Ranch Rodeos annually. The events are geared more toward the skills that are required for ranching so is much more of an authentic cowboy experience. These guys are the real thing!
My use of color in this piece was to add an adventurous vision of this roper as he prepared his lasso for the next event. It was a design experiment of running the colors diagonally through the cowboy, threading some of the 'rays' of sunshine into his image. He appears to be disappearing in and out of the bands of color as the bands of rays bathe him in sunlight, almost like a prism!

ONE OF THE THINGS I STRIVE TO DO when designing a painting is to map out a way to infuse a few surprises for the viewer. In my plan for this piece, my idea was to use as little of the figure as possible. I began with a touch of realism in the model’s face and hat, then shifted into a stylized abstraction of her image. The whimsical use of color and texture on the shawl and sky above the gilded orb suggest a conceptual realm. In the end, all melts away into a lustrous circle of gold, intimating a concealed beauty wrapped in an enigma as she hovers in an imaginary world.

"With her polka dot dress and her eyes concealed under her vogue over-sized hat, this pretty woman presents a demure expression in a mid-century style."
The concept: A midcentury palette combining stripes with polka dots revealing fashionable patterns, all combined with her face and body painted in values using the bluish-black in the palette. I love fashion and trends! I almost went into the fashion industry as an illustrator. I read every Seventeen Magazine, and then later Cosmopolitan, so that I was current with my hair style and makeup, and followed the trends of clothing styles. Crazy! It was fun for that era but it's more important to me now to incorporate the memories of my past into my work.
The Details: 20" x 20" Oil on a metallic gold base on a cradled birch panel, sides in metallic gold, framed in a black satin floater,

My Story
Influences from My Youth - I believe my passion for art started as early as 5, when I can remember wanting to draw all the time. Both of my parents were very creative and had a toe dipped into the art world, and I believe their own closet dreams of being an artist rubbed off on me. Along the way, my parents encouraged me to join in any creative opportunity available and learned many skills, even designing and sewing my own clothes in high school.
Journeys through the Southwest, from Texas to Southern California, and everywhere in between influenced my creative output. The textures, patterns, and colors of the Southwest are etched into my memories as our family explored all of those areas in the 60s. Even though I love my home in Montana, I have a special place in my heart for the Southwest. The desert, to me, is a place of serene beauty and spectacular colors, as well as the many wonderful and varied cultural textures it contains, and my paintings often reflect that influence.
As a young adult, I imagined myself working for Disney, but left that dream behind when I realized I’d have to move to Los Angeles. I had no desire to do that, so instead, I took every class, seminar, extension course, and workshop available on evenings and weekends in between the time spent at my job. Many of my instructors in the late 70s and 80s, and even those in the early 2000s, had studied the Golden Age Illustrators as well as the Russian Impressionists, which still influences my work today. But I would say that much of my current style was cemented by the dominance of the pop art trends of the 70s.
Career Development - My corporate work experience for almost 20 years was through land planning and civil engineering firms heavily involved in the development of southern California suburbs and commercial developments. I worked with architects and land planners, creating the graphics and illustrations for display of these developments. I left the corporate world behind in the mid 90s and co-founded a commercial art business in San Diego painting murals and faux-finishes for high-end clients and interior designers. Fast forward to 2006 when I started taking oil painting classes at a community college, which was the final catalyst needed for establishing a fine art career. Throughout my journey, I have enjoyed studying under nationally-known artists with a comprehensive focus on the foundational principles of fine art. My contemporary ‘Mod Art’ works are a result of these studies combined with the experiences of my earlier years.
Goals
One of my hopes is to be able to influence younger female artists that the art world is available to them. Women are often not thought of as having as much value as men in the creative field. For example, women artists typically represent only 5% of works in the nation's museums. I hope to be able to help younger women past that hurdle by overcoming misconceptions while developing a solutions-driven attitude. My goal is to inspire women through one-on-one mentorships, and I will welcome occasions that accomplish my mission to the best of my abilities.
Since mid-2008 - I have lived in Bozeman, Montana, with my husband, Scott, an avid fly-fisherman. We are blessed to have a home with land along a year-round river and a fabulous view of the Bridger Mountains. As much as I love the Southwest and visit it as often as possible, this Montana home is a gift I will always enjoy.

"Some of the most intriguing in-your-face creativity in America might pass you by while you’re busy being busy. Don’t miss it!"
We live in a semi-rural area of Montana, not too far from a major railroad line where freight trains pass by often in their daily journey across America to deliver their goods. I started paying attention to the intriguing artwork flying by my view every day. The trains will sometimes pause for a time on the tracks across the way from us so I began using this opportunity to photograph them. When I started developing one of the images as new a painting, I serendipitously discovered that the words “Get Me Out of This World” were scrawled across the side of the rail car. I had to laugh at how satirical this statement was, which made my choice of creating this Pop Art piece even more irresistible.
Note: Shipping of this original piece will require an extra fee - to be determined.
"Get Me Out of This World" canvas prints in smaller sizes are also available through Sanguine Fine Art/Fine Art Prints!

Poppies! Such brilliantly colored beauties that sway in the afternoon breeze with their folds of fabric-like petals. Every spring, their oddly curled stems cradle the translucent red heads of intense, unreal colors that are a challenge to replicate in paint. This image captures the close-knit group at that moment when the sun is directly behind them, illuminating the intensely orange-red skirts of the blossoms.

The details: "Dancing Redheads", 48" x 48" oil on museum-wrap canvas, sides painted to match, wired and ready to hang. Not framed.

"These Southeast Asian gentle giants, presenting a threatening image of one with built-in weapons, dig deep into leaf litter to avoid predators."
Have you ever visited – or even lived in – a country whose native critters are those you have never seen before? And maybe they look dangerous, but everyone tells you they’re not? Through a job assignment many years ago, I lived in Jakarta, Indonesia, for almost a year. It is such a beautiful, verdant country but the “wildlife” there was definitely nothing I was accustomed to during my years in the Southwestern US. Whether the creature was 4-legged, 6-legged, 8-legged, or had wings, very few of them were familiar to me, least of all the Atlas Beetle. They are gentle giants, harmless to us, but their appearance is definitely imposing when encountered unexpectedly. With his massive body and that menacingly large horn, this image of him marching forward on what could be a tiled floor provides a glimpse into the enchanting, enigmatic world of Southeast Asia, an experience I will never forget.

Exuberance

"Exhibiting power and grace, this exuberant creature battles against the formidable pull of gravity."
The graceful liftoff of large exotic birds often resembles a sophisticated dance with gravity's pull. The large wingspan of egrets, relative to their body size, fits this description. The beauty of the angelic white feathers is like the delicate layers of a bride’s gown fanning the sky as the strength of the thrust lifts this beautiful creature off the ground. This is pure exuberance that we were exhilarated to witness!
Oil and cold wax on 30" x 30" x 2" deep cradled panel, custom framed in maple floater-style frame, wired and ready to hang.
