Desperado

about Desperado

Jim Jonson's portrayal of two cowboys, a herd of cattle, and a city of skyscrapers is emblematic of the artist's expressiveness of energy and movement in his scenes featuring sports and other athletic activities.

Turning his head to the right and looking over his shoulder slyly, the older cowboy with salt-and-pepper hair wears the quintessential blue jeans and 10-gallon hat that make up the unofficial uniform of the American cowboy. Trotting into the distance, the horse in the middleground heads toward the cows grazing in the dusty desert set before the city in the distance.
