Rope by Michael Breyette

The Lyman-Eyer Gallery is pleased to present the newest original pastel by Michael Breyette entitled Rope. This has just been released today so you are among the first to see this 'sensuous' work. Michael conveys his thoughts on this work..."The handsome cowboy wields his rope with a honed skill as the tightly woven braids become an extension of his sinewy forearms and powerful hands. A cowboy with a lasso against a cloudy sky... seemed simply enough. No complicated background, one lone figure, not even much clothing. I did not anticipate the complexity and the tedium involved with rendering rope in pastel. I do much of the work with my fingers, but here I needed to also employ quite a bit of pencil work to get that braided look of rope. Usually areas that need that intricate touch are small, whereas this just seemed to go on for miles."
