Buck & Pony
by Lyssa Lovejoy
This portrait stands at the crossroads of grit and longing—part of the Black Cowboy Series, it carries both history and personal legacy. Inspired in part by my father’s dream of being a cowboy, Buck and Pony embodies resilience, pride, and the pursuit of freedom on the open range. The bold strokes and fiery tones speak to the unbroken spirit of those who claimed their place in the story of the West.
