THE GUARDIAN

Designed and painted by Whitney Kerr.

This was a tribute piece to rodeo clowns in the city of Longford, KS. They play an essential role in protecting the bull riders. Longford, KS has a population of 80 people. For 360 days out of the year, the town remains pretty quiet until the Annual Longford PRCA Rodeo happens. Then roughly 3,000 people descend upon the town for the special event.
