COWBOY



18" x 24" Oil on Board




This handsome cowboy's name is Taylor.  He is our grand nephew who just graduated from high school and we are so proud of him and his accomplishments!  Producing this portrait was a family effort with his mom, dad, and older brother assisting in the taking of 81 photos for reference.  So happy the painting was completed in time for his graduation, and I'm thrilled it was well received by him and the family!  What fun painting Taylor and one of the horses he enjoys so much.
