Turning the Corner
18”W x 21”H graphite on paper — Signed Pamela Watson

Drawn in the midst of the pandemic, Turning the Corner reflects both a moment in ranch life and a universal longing for better days. Pamela Watson captures a cowgirl guiding a black Angus calf back to the herd — a gentle redirection rather than force — as her dark horse pivots with fluid motion. The rider, dressed in jeans, a crisp white shirt, and a white cowboy hat, leans into the turn, her focus steady. Every detail, from the swish of the horse’s tail to the shifting legs of horse and calf, conveys movement and purpose. Rendered in masterful graphite, this work speaks of resilience, care, and the quiet determination to guide things toward a better path.
