An Intensive Western Landscape
One to be enjoyed— we just can’t explain this landscape featuring saguaro cacti, cowboys playing baseball, a shootout, two herds of sheep (with one camel), and green demons in a band.

Another category of Floyd’s drawings perhaps best fits the label “western,” involving cowboys, horses, mountains—or all of the above. This one of a mountain man working over a campfire includes a separate drawing of an elk in the margin.

Untitled drawing from Floyd, with a stylized western theme featuring three men on horseback in a circular motif.
“Ennui,” above, with its profusion of images, is one of Floyd’s more enigmatic drawings. Be sure to click to enlarge and check out the detail of the left border.
A second, more colorful version of this drawing carries the words “…and the Pursuit of Happiness.” The latter was a small theme of Floyd’s, and we’ll see more examples of it in future posts.
