Roger has to be one of the best models we have ever had. He posed as a cowboy. He had a shotgun across his lap and a lantern at his feet, very Marlboro man. I forgot my panels and had to borrow a couple. I had trouble with the whole figure and wound up concentrating just on his face. I love the new spotlight they have at the studio, the lighting was dramatic.

Oh Yeah! More of this!
Very nice Celeste. You really caught it in just his face. I knew he had a shotgun just to look at that expression!
He belongs in Texas! Great painting!
Wow. Handsome cowboy; wonderful painting.
Well, he sure is a handsome one, Celeste! And who doesn't love the Marlboro Man?!!! A beautiful portrait!
I like this one. It is dramatic and his look is kinda squinty-like he is looking off into the sunset:)
lots of interest going on in that shadow, nice
like this a lot Celeste
The shadow on the face is just right! He is handsome, too. Well done!
This is one cool dude! I like the color and values.
Those brush strokes have a confidence that supports this guys cool!
(by the way, I left a comment on your painting with song rain drops. I hope I wasen't out of line, I just thought you hit a grand slam with that, and I was a
bit emotional)
Yee haw! Didn't see this one on the easel and glad you posted him. Love the cast shadow over his facial features. Nice!
This is a great piece. I love it!... the shadow of the hat, the unfinishedness. all of it!
I love this, Celeste! Love the economy that still says so much. Beautiful warm yet strong feel to it. Yeehaa.
