The rules of Indian relay racing, are generally simple, All races are ridden bareback, and teams are composed of four people and three horses. Indians from all over squash themselves up against the rails to get a close view of the race, and cheer on the riders. Newcomers to this rodeo quickly find themselves caught up in the moment, and the Indian riders and family are excited for the honors won during this race and a hefty payout of 25,000. The excitement mounts in the stands as the begging of the Sheridan/Wyo rodeo begins, because the first event and crowd favorite is the World champion Indian Relay. A favorite at powwows and Indian rodeos, the sport of Indian relay racing is a crowd-pleasing spectacle that involves expert horsemanship, teamwork, and the potential for disaster at every turn. The grandstands at Sheridan’s WYO rodeo fill early, long before regular rodeo events begin, welcoming a crowd that’s gathered to watch one of the wildest, most colorful events in all of equine sports.

Because of all the variables in the layering, glazing and varnishing, each painting in the series is unique and can vary in color, texture, etc. As I combine the painting mediums and the dozens of translucent layers of oil paint, the pittura di strati technique refines the work to a unique style of painting never done previously. Today the end results can be much more refined then at that time. By layering translucent glazes of color in oil, I was able to get a look that I was searching for.Īndy Warhol used a similar but more crude technique in the 1960’s to create mixed media work that was also a multiple using Silkscreen. I wanted to explore the age old tradition of silk-screen with the cutting edge techniques that are currently available, along with the drawing and imagery from my etchings. The Pittura di strati medium of silkscreen, oil and acrylic, is the only way to achieve the effect that I was looking for. This glazing technique is very similar to that of the artists of the Italian Renaissance, giving the paint a luminous quality that is not possible any other way.īeing an intaglio print maker and an oil painter for many years, I have been working on combining the two mediums for nearly 8 years. As each layer builds up, they create effects of light and texture not possible with other painting techniques. Oil Paint has the ability to create fine glazes, transparent but slow to dry. Layers of translucent oil paint are slowly built up one layer at a time. Multiple layers of acrylic paint are applied, and on top of the acrylic, silk screened line work. As I start, the board is covered and then textured with thick gesso. I created this Painting using a technique known as Pittura di strati.
