Where the Trail Turns

$600.00

‘Where the Trail Turns’ by Alexandra Verboom Fritz.

Original oil on 14 × 11 x 1.5 inch canvas.

Where the Trail Turns follows a cowgirl and a band of cattle climbing toward higher country along a narrow mountain trail. Winding through timber and steep terrain, the route reflects the seasonal movement of livestock in search of fresh forage.

Inspired by the mountain rangelands of Western Canada, this piece celebrates the knowledge of both land and livestock required to guide cattle through country where the trail itself often determines the pace of the work.

Framed in a unstained wood floater frame.

This scene captures a cowgirl guiding cattle along a mountain trail, where every turn reveals new challenges. I used layered oils to portray the shifting weather and terrain, emphasizing resilience and stewardship. As the herd is moved up the mountain to preserve the grasslands below, the scene highlights responsible land management. The interplay of storm and sunlight symbolizes hope amid adversity, reinforcing the ongoing journey of ranching and the enduring bond with the land.
