Fall Round Up

This was one of the first commissions I did. The gentleman who asked me to do it described what he had in mind. 

After the preliminary sketches and color studies, he chose this scene. It was such a joy to paint this because as you may know, I love Wyoming and it's cowboy lifestyle. 

What was even more fun was the joy on his face when I delivered it to his office, where he proudly hung it on a wall opposite his desk, so he could look up and see it when he was at work.
