Fighting For The One
Fighting For The One
By Rebekah Griffith
Fighting For The One is a compelling 20 x 20 inch oil painting on canvas by Colorado-based artist Rebekah Griffith. This expressive work captures a classic narrative of the working West, focusing on a cowboy on horseback spinning a lasso as a herding dog tracks nearby. The piece masterfully balances a sense of rustic dust and grit with a brilliant, highly contemporary approach to color and form.
Griffith utilizes confident, structural palette knife sweeps and thick, blocky impasto brushwork to build the composition. The dusty corral setting is brought to life with an energetic mix of warm ochres, sun-bleached creams, and deep terracotta reds, contrasted sharply against the cooler slate blues and soft lavenders of the wide-open sky. A striking, rust-colored pole cuts vertically through the scene, adding a strong graphic element to the landscape. Through her signature fragmented style, Griffith translates the heat, motion, and quiet determination of ranch life into a beautiful, fractured modern aesthetic.
