Cattle Drive...

When I was young I always looked forward to the cattle drives. It meant I got to be on a horse all day long, with my dad, and out in nature... even if that meant eating the dust and smelling the manure all day. 

Painting cattle is a different story... I admit I'm having fun with this painting, but I just have to say it... 

Cattle Drive... me nuts! ;)

Moving Cows... or Cowboys...

I've spent a lot of time in my life on the back of a horse and moving cows. But today moving cows around the canvas was a bit different than it used to be. And that dear cowboy had to be moved three different times... I just couldn't seem to get him in the right proportion. I knew this painting was going to be a bit tricky, so tomorrow I'll see if I can move things around a little more.
