At long last... "COWBOYS" is officially under way, I am painting almost every day on this new book, the text is almost finished, by David L. Harrison from Pirates, and the sketches have been approved. I am sooo happy to be working on this book, it's going to be a beauty, at least I hope so, Boyds Mills Press is publishing it. This painting was done from some photo ref I took while on a roundup this fall, I had a great time on horseback for the day, trying to take photos while pushing cows over a mountain was a bit tricky but what a great time, the guy in the painting is a good friend who has modeled for me a few other times, he is a great character and a terrific model, he is a cowboy and spends many days a year on horseback in the mountains checking cows.
Anyway, I will include bits and pieces here and there while I work on this great project.

Wonderful! I can't for the book to be released. I know a lot of work ahead. I lived on a ranch at one time in Idaho. Hard work!
You paintstrokes are beautiful on animals! I can't wait to see the book!
Gorgeous painting Danny boy! Pass some of your painting skills my way!
This is a nice piece. I love the brush strokes
