The proofs for the 2011 Harvey Dickson Rodeo held in Boyup Brook are now available for viewing and ordering in the Equestrian Events proof gallery.

I went along to Harvey Dickson’s Rodeo down here at Boyup Brook to get some reference photos for some western and rodeo inspired paintings that I have planned. I can understand where the origins for many of the events lay – calf roping, bareback and saddle bronc…even the steer undecorating, but I really have to wonder who on earth first thought of trying to ride a full grown bull that would rather kill you? LOL, must have been a man with more bulls than brains;)

Here’s a few of my favourite shots
