Product Description:
Some mornings are worth getting up early for.
In “Up with the Sun,” Ian Russell gives one of the Southwest’s most recognizable characters a little cowboy swagger. Perched proudly on a weathered fence post, a roadrunner is dressed for the range in a well-worn cowboy hat, red bandana, fringed leather vest, and just the right amount of attitude.
Behind him, the Arizona desert comes alive with the first light of day. A brilliant sunrise spills warm gold, orange, and lavender across the sky, illuminating distant mountains and a field of desert wildflowers. Ian’s detailed watercolor work brings texture and personality to every feather, while the softer landscape creates a colorful backdrop that feels unmistakably Southwestern.
Equal parts Western charm and playful storytelling, “Up with the Sun” celebrates those early risers who are ready to greet the day—cowboy hat and all.
Perfect for:
• Western and Southwestern interiors
• Roadrunner and Arizona wildlife collectors
• Cowboy and Western art enthusiasts
• Desert homes, ranches, cabins, or offices
• Anyone who appreciates Southwestern art with a little personality
