Horns in the Hills
The StoryThis painting was done for a Texas man whom I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting. It depicts a pretty darn good Longhorn cow standing in the famous Blue Bonnets of the Texas Hill Country. For me it stirs remembrances of the saga of Charles Goodnight. Goodnight who is a relative of my wife was born on the Illinois prairie just a few miles from our farm. He rode bareback all the way to Texas at the tender age of nine. The rest, as they say, is history. Goodnight became a legendary pioneer in the history of the western trail drives and cattle ranching and is inseparable from the Longhorn cattle that started it all. Roger DeWitt, Artist
