Inspired by the bond between parent and child, this scene shows a young boy on a stick horse watching his father ride off into the hills. I used soft oil tones to evoke hope and the passing down of ranching traditions. More than just a moment of childhood play, "Take Me to Work" is a tribute to the hopes that fuel ranching communities—the desire to carry on the land, the work, and the stories that define a way of life rooted in family and tradition.
