The Grass Ain't Always Greener

$1,500.00

‘The Grass Ain’t Always Greener’ is an original oil painting by Alexandra Verboom Fritz featuring a cowboy guiding cattle along a Creekside trail under a stormy sky.

Original Oil On 18 × 24 × 1.5 inch canvas

The Grass Ain't Always Greener portrays a cowboy and cowpup moving cattle through a gate into fresh pasture. While the title offers a playful nod to a familiar saying, the scene reflects the practical realities of ranching, where thoughtful grazing management helps sustain both livestock and the land. The painting speaks to the stewardship that underpins ranch life. Moving cattle is not simply about getting them from one place to another, but about balancing the needs of animals, grass, and future seasons. Inspired by a scene at Diamond S Ranch near Lillooet, British Columbia, this piece celebrates the partnership between cowboy, horse, dog, and livestock that makes that work possible.

Framed in a unstained wood floater frame.

Inspired by the perennial uncertainty of change, "The Grass Ain't Always Greener" depicts a cowboy guiding a mixed herd of cattle through a weathered gate into new pasture. Using oil paints with layered, expressive brushwork, I aimed to capture the richness of fall landscapes and the vitality of the cattle, emphasizing the blend of tradition and resilience. The scene invites reflection on the challenges and hopes that come with taking risks and making choices.
