90% Done! Saying that makes it sound like it will be over real easy … I wished … lots of little refinements to do before I get to sign it.
Well, I have made a lot of changes to the last update to the horses and rock face behind the horses. I like the horses much better now …. I am very satisfied so far with over all composition.
So, all thats left is just finishing up 
Heres the updated images
First a close up of the horses and rock face behind them …
Now an over all look at the painting
Well, man I almost forgot to update and even get pictures …. realized just in time I think! Well, we have made some progress … at this point I have the water at the lower level real close to complete though still lots of final tweaks that come later … but overall I am very satisfied.
Will be adding and making some tweaks to rocks in the foreground several design changes or better said additions coming.
But, what has been the most enjoyable is something I have been waiting for since I started this painting. The main subjects! Yea! Finally! I am here!!!!
I started in on my Cowboy and His horse … I have under colors of the rope which has alot of detail left to do in later layers … but is giving a good feel for where its going.
I also started laying in the saddle and blanket and various other rigging …. lots of detail still yet here, such as shadows, patters on blanket, more to the saddle that is not detail also the Hand that is on the Horn of the saddle is not painted in at all yet … I am trying to get everything around it first.
However, I do the have His left hand ( which is holding the rope ) I have the glove close to finish still some more layers yet and final detailing to do. But a nice under layer I think.
Well Here are a couple of details of where I am at … more to come …
Enjoy!
Here is a close up! Oh also, this is the first color layer for the horse itself ….
More details added and design additions to get us where we are.
Sorry for the delay in my update but I am also working on a design for my next painting which I will soon post here.
Till then Here is my update …
also a close up … Sorry but the images arent the best I will try to do better on the next …..
