New Paint that Ain't

30 x 36" oil/linen

Whew!
I finally made it back!
Last week I was merrily painting away on my rocks when I was contacted by Montana Trails Gallery in Bozeman. (...OH BOY! A REAL gallery!!! - I actually had been waiting to hear from them since January.) They like my work and want to represent me, (...OH BOY!!!!) BUT could I do a painting like "A Soft Place to Land"? (oh boy...)
Of course I said YES! So we both agreed I would do this larger painting of Cow Pony (formerly "Paint that Ain't") Thank God - I actually think it came out nice. I put the cows in because the canvas seemed large enough to support that many critters. Not to stand on, I mean visually :O) I still have a few value adjustments to do and want to work on his tail some. I'll post the finish in a few days.

Have a great weekend everyone.
