My friend, Steve Churchill, doing some mounted cowboy posing for me in Knoxville, Tennessee.  I took a lot of pictures of Steve, John Nicely and a few others on this photo shoot.

 

This is gouache (also known as heavy-body watercolor) painted over an acrylic-primed panel in a loose, semi-abstract style.  I am focusing more on shape, values and color in this brand of my western paintings and staying away from too much detail. Every painting is an adventure and an experiment; some of them end up being very pleasing to the eye and the mind and the heart, and others - not so much.  This is one of the good ones, to my eye.  (Do you see the barn/building that this cowboy is moving toward?)
