Legend Cowboy


This is a cowboy I met on a train at Rusk, Texas when I took a spring break this March. The reason I painted this portrait was because I really liked the expression on this cowboy's face. The eyes give the main characteristics of this cowboy. The background is the windows of the train. I painted this on a 16" x 20" canvas.

Veteran Cowboy

This painting is based on a cowboy working at Enchanted Spring Ranch where I visited last year.  He has a typical character of a cowboy with a fascinating beard. The beard is my favorite part because of the intense colors I used. I painted this painting based on my feeling of color, not the details. Also, the reflection of the sunglasses is very gleaming with glowing colors. I completed this portrait on a 20" x 16" canvas.
