Brenda I've been viewing this photo for a week and haven't reviewed it because I can't quite figure out what to say about it other than it's a very interesting , captivating and well conceived and executed work work. " Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam --- "

Nicely done. You've got a lot of activity going on here. I've spent some time in the Monument and you have captured the shapes and textures very well. Nice sky also. Thanks for sharing your work.

Comment from Patti C


This painting has all the elements of a western cattle drive--the cowboys on horseback etc. Even though your style is somewhat impressionistic the colors and shading convey place and activity very nicely.

Wonderful detail with good tones and hues shine through. The cowboy is impressively done and good depth with the delightful full strokes you can see in the mountain. Good job

A classical depiction of a cowboy scene. Reminds me of the cult movie 'Macenna's Gold'. A fine rendering with all the elements that go in to make a cowboy picture. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Sange


This is very nice with the rock cliffs in the background, herd of cattle below and the cowboy up on top sitting on his horse looking over everything.
Nice details with a lovely painted sky of soft blue and white clouds.
Nice work!

Nice entry into the contest. I like the attention to detail and composition. This seems like a hard piece to paint and very time consuming but you pulled it off. Nice job.

A lot of talent to just wake up and decide to creat this master piece! I admire this kind of talent since I still can't draw a stick figure!
Thank you for sharing I really enjoy your work!

    Thank you so much for your comments. Inspiration and that get up and go feeling is very spasmodic. I can struggle not only with ideas but also satisfaction of what I am doing. This morning was a getup and do painting day. I enjoyed the challenge. I am glad you enjoyed it too. You make art with your photos...
