Cowboy


I painted this picture for a friend.  It's her dad, and she wanted to give it to her mom for Christmas.  It's a mix of transparent watercolor and gouache.  I think the man and his horse turned out okay, but I really struggled with the background.  I wanted to edit what was in the picture and make it more simple, but in the end I think it became a little too simple.  And working with gouache is more difficult than I thought it would be.
