‘On Point’ by Alexandra Verboom Fritz
Oil on 36 x 48 x 1.5 inch canvas
Framed in a natural unstained wood floater frame ready to be installed.
On Point portrays a cowboy working behind the lead bunch during a large cattle drive. Known as "the point", these cattle establish the direction and pace for the herd, while the point rider's role is to quietly guide their movement across the landscape. The hundreds of animals behind them follow the path set by this smaller group.
The painting speaks to the influence of thoughtful stockmanship, where subtle decisions often have far-reaching effects. Inspired by a Douglas Lake cowboy and the rolling grasslands of British Columbia's Nicola Valley, this piece reflects the partnership between rider, livestock, and landscape that remains central to ranching life.
