As many of you know, I used to be a cowboy. Hmmm. That sounds like the title to a song or a book..."I Used to Be a Cowboy". I'll have to remember that one. Anyway, I've been thinking about doing something different with my art, trying to find something that will excite people. Most of my work is pretty representaional. I like to paint a variety of subject matter and rather than try to make a change in "what I paint", I've decided to look more at "how" I paint it. In otherwords, maybe develope my style a bit more.
Many artists go through a shift in style throughout their careers and maybe it's time for me to get out of my comfort zone and stretch a little. This painting, although a familiar subject, is done a little differently, and I kind of like the look. With the portraits I've been doing lately, I've been experimenting with the background treatment and I've used what learned there on the background of this painting. I hope you like it.
This is a little 8x6 oil painting that is for sale at auction. This painting SOLD!! Thanks Heide!
