Spur 1935 - 1942

"Spur" is a watercolor painting by Gerald Transpota, completed between 1935 and 1942. The artwork depicts a single, ornate spur, rendered in meticulous detail. The artist uses a muted palette to highlight the golden tones of the spur, with subtle variations in color to create a sense of depth and texture. The spur's intricate design, featuring a sharp, pointed rowel and elaborate ornamentation, speaks to the craftsmanship and artistry of the object itself. Transpota's focus on the spur suggests a celebration of the craftsmanship associated with equestrian culture.
