Provenance: Private collection, Florida Porfirio Salinas, the Texas artist who devoted much of his career to capturing the beauty of the Lone Star State, painted two versions of Watching the Herd in 1965. Neither are dated more specifically than the year, but it’s possible this painting is the second version due to the refined qualities in the composition and details in the foreground. Other than the addition of the creek and brush-topped ridge in this version, another notable change was made to the horse and rider that have been moved to a more prominent position to emphasize their position on the ridgeline. Both paintings are classic Salinas, but this one has notable tweaks that elevate it further.
