Quiet Cowboy
8.5x5.5 watercolor using White Nights paints on Canson 117 lb cold press paper done last few days of August while on a trip. For now, this cowboy is the last imaginary portrait I will be doing. This guy looks so quiet and contemplating his next job or duty while working hard outdoors.

Cigarette Cowboy
10x8 watercolor using White Nights paints on Canson 117 lb cold press paper. Done the last week of August while on a trip, I used a movie still of Lee Van Cleef. This doesn't resemble him much but it was a challenge to his face and hat. Usually he played an outlaw and I was mesmerized by his eyes.

Crow Omen
8x8 mixed media on Master's Touch 140 lb CP paper done latter part of July. I used watercolor (Rosa's), Crayola Pip Squeak markers, and Caran D'Ache wax watersoluble crayons in this imaginary crow painting. Is a crow a bad omen or not?
