Al Richardson’s Little Shorty captures the enduring spirit of the American oilfield with striking realism and respect. This fine art print, Hand colored by the atrist, features a classic pumpjack—nicknamed “Little Shorty”—silhouetted against a wide Texas sky, its steady motion a symbol of grit, perseverance, and hard work. With richly rendered textures and warm, earthy tones, Richardson pays tribute to the men and machines that have long powered the heart of the oil patch. Whether you have roots in the industry or simply appreciate Americana and industrial heritage, Little Shorty makes a compelling addition to any fine art collection celebrating the strength and legacy of the working West.
