"THE RECALCITRANT" - New Original Oil Painting by Mike Callahan


"The Recalcitrant"

20" x 30"

Oil on Linen


Here's one of my most recent cowboy paintings I've been working on. I shot the reference for this painting at the ranch rodeo in Cedarville back in late August and the background is from out in the Winnemucca Ranch area. When my son was just a little tike, I used to read him a story titled, "The Recalcitrant Calf" and ever since I've thought that the word "recalcitrant" is a very appropriate one for calves!
