Montana landscape painter Stephen Rathburn

On   its way to Miles City 44th Annual live Auction for this September. Strathburn (Stephen Rathburn Artist ). It's late Winter/early Spring when the young cowboy checks on his investment. He thinks; " how lucky he is to be here this beautiful chilly morning and to have such a blessed life as a cowboy.  The life of a cowboy is hard but worth every determined minute when considering moments like this".  The Sunrise lights up the distant Rocky Mountains with fire but still leaves the left over night sky in the shadows of dawn. The days are long now but soon to get longer as the young mother's begin to bring forth their babies. Life is good!

Thanks for taking the time for feeling what I felt when painting this one.
