Collection of Acrylic Paintings
In the Line of Duty
Cowboys at Work
‘In the Line of Duty: Cowboys at Work’ is a tribute to the resilience, skill, and unwavering dedication of those who live and work on the ranch. Through this collection of acrylic paintings I explore the dynamic moments of cowboying set against stormy skies and the warm glow of late afternoon sun—scenes that capture both the perils and rewards of ranch life.
Each painting depicts a cowboy or cowgirl in the midst of pursuit, showcasing their strength, precision, and perseverance amid unpredictable weather and challenging terrain.
These works celebrate the courage and dedication of cowboys and cowgirls, whose unwavering commitment keeps the spirit of the West alive.
‘On the Fly’ by Alexandra Verboom Fritz.
Original acrylic on 12 × 12 × 0.75 inch on wood panel.
On the Fly captures a fleeting moment as a cowboy throws a loop to rope a cow for 'doctoring.' In cattle work, opportunities often appear and disappear in an instant, requiring horse and rider to respond with precision, timing, and confidence.
The painting reflects the adaptability that ranching demands, where success is often determined by decisions made in the moment. Inspired by a Douglas Lake cowboy and the rolling grasslands of British Columbia's Nicola Valley, this piece celebrates the horsemanship, stockmanship, and trust that allow difficult jobs to be accomplished safely and efficiently.
Framed in a natural unstained wood floater frame ready to be installed.

‘Dawn’s Reckoning’ by Alexandra Verboom Fritz
Original acrylic on 24 × 18 x 1.5 inch canvas.
Dawn's Reckoning captures a moment where skill, courage, and trust are tested against the landscape. A lone cowboy descends a steep mountainside, relying on the surefootedness of his horse as they navigate challenging terrain. In ranching country, moments like these are a reminder that the land often sets the terms of the work.
The painting reflects the resilience and quiet confidence required of those who make their living in rugged places. Inspired by a scene reminiscent of The Man from Snowy River that I witnessed and photographed at Diamond S Ranch near Lillooet, British Columbia, this piece celebrates the enduring partnership between horse, rider, and the wild country they call home.

Inspired by the grasslands of British Columbia's Nicola Valley, this piece reflects the way ranching skills are learned—not through instruction alone, but through repetition, experience, and time in the saddle.
