Description
When oriented in a landscape manner, paper is divided into two boxes side by side. The left box has a light pencil drawing within that is orientated in the opposite manner of the paper orientation. This drawing is of a rodeo scene with spectator stands on the viewer’s right, an open field in the centre, and a row of tipis on the left. The field is populated with several figures. Two figures are close to the viewer, one is mounted on a horse and the other is on foot. The illustration in the right box is drawn in pen. In the foreground, a man stands with his back to the viewer. He is carrying a suitcase and tool/lunch box and wears a hat. He looks towards the distant skyline, which is punctuated by skyscrapers. In the mid-ground, a man bucks on a horse across the standing figure’s sight line. The figure on the horse tips his cowboy hat. The mountains appear in a secondary skyline directly above the city skyline.While this image does not have military elements, the composition and use of the figure in the foreground facing away from the viewer mimics Peter Whyte’s Blind Date drawings.
