"Trails that Lead to Water"

We made the move! I hope it is our last! We moved back to Fredericksburg and closed on our home last week. Some remodeling of studio space should give plenty of north light and room to work. I am eager. It may take longer on landscaping and living space, but our contractor is on the same page that the studio takes top priority. 
Fortunately, I have found space to work until the studio is completed. 
In the midst of the move, I was commissioned to paint a steer painting. I'm doubly honored as the couple is new to collecting western art. 

"Trails that Lead to Water" 36" x 48"

I wanted to play with the light on the bluff with the blue tones of the shadows on the main longhorn. He could have been bathed in light, but I wanted to steer away from the obvious, (no pun intended). The painting is a large 36" x 48" and I wanted it to echo the rugged beauty of the west.
I hope to update soon with our move -in and finished studio!
