I created Still Pulling as a tribute to resilience — the kind that doesn’t make noise but never stops working. This 48×48 artwork is built on a wood panel and features a fully sculpted, three-dimensional pump jack that physically rises off the surface, giving the piece weight, shadow, and presence.

The bold, abstract layers of color beneath it reflect the land and sky I know well — the heat, the dust, the endless horizons, and the quiet strength of places that are often overlooked. The pump jack stands as a symbol of persistence, labor, and survival, moving steadily even when everything else feels uncertain.

This piece is meant to be experienced up close. The texture, the rough edges, and the natural shadows change with the light throughout the day, making the artwork feel alive in your space. Still Pulling is for those who understand hard work, endurance, and the beauty found in grit — a statement piece that carries both history and heart.
