Label TextFor his Cowboys of Color series, Don Russell made a double portrait of Anthony Neuluis and Tarna Rena. He presents them as a couple, in a pose riding double on a horse. The pose signals a romantic relationship as Anthony Neuluis envelopes Tarna Rena in his arms. They look toward the viewer with expressions of quiet pride and flirtatious energy. Tarna Rena is in the saddle with her feet in the stirrups. She is the rider who would control the horse if they were actually on a horseback ride. Connect with W.H. Dunton’s Side by Side, They Rode Off into the Desert Sunset and But Now He Preferred to Go Slowly, and He Was Talking at His Fluent Best.
