Friday Night in the Man Cave, Watercoloring the Cattledrive, Still

Fort Worth Stockyards Cattle Drive

I am not crazy about 72-degree November evenings, but I’m glad the weekend arrived.  I am nestled into my garage Man Cave, and really in the mood to push this Fort Worth Stockyards Cattle Drive to a conclusion.  I had no idea how many weeks this thing would take to see to its conclusion.  Tonight I worked on the hooves of this lead horse, and am waiting for the paint to dry and set up so I can go back into the street and deepen the colors and details.  I need to work some shadows onto the horse’s legs as well.  Two other riders await completion as well, and I need to decide what to do with that large billboard sign stretched across the top right border of this composition.  All in all, though, I can see the finish line.  Maybe I’ll cross it tonight.  Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading.
