Baby Girl and Player-Longhorns

© AnnHoffpauir
This painting is a continuation of the previous painting, They Call Me Coach.  The couple that owns the Longhorn cattle, he being a football coach,  have named some of the calves after the sport of football.  I think that is cool, two fine activities that in a way compliment each other.  Bulls, bullheaded, strength, ornery, ah just to name a few.  This painting is a 6x8 oil and is sold.  For more of my western and equine art visit my website http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

They Call Me Coach

© AnnHoffpauir
The title of this painting may sound a little strange.  Usually there is a reason for such things.  So, here is the story about the title of this painting.  The wife of the couple that owns this bull bought it as a surprise for him.  He always said how much he liked Longhorn cattle.  Wished he had some Longhorns of his own someday.  Well, she surprised him alright, on his birthday one year.  And you ask, "where did the name come from"?  Her husband happens to be the headcoach of the football team at their high school.  Since then they have raised several Longhorns and many of them were given names relating to the sport of football.  Check out my website for more western, equine and Longhorn paintings.  Visit my website, http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com
