"Casa de Don Rosario"
This is one of the paintings that I started when Scott was here. I worked on it for about two hours on location. It's a complex scene, so that was only enough time to get the drawing and a rough block in of the color and value relationships. I added Don Rosario later from a photo I shot while we were painting. Rosario has been riding a horse most of his life and you can tell from his walk. I tried to catch that little detail about him in the painting. Back in the studio I had time to make little adjustments to refine the composition and color.

Hi Frank!...As always...dynamic design elements...rich colour...painterly brushwork...yet wonderful detail and "real people" in your figure work!
Always a great treat to visit your site...as I do often!
Cheers!

Gorgeous!
This is really a fantastic composition, the forground cactus beautifully contrasted against the eyecatching middleground.
Thanks so much Bruce, Don and Mans.
I am very sorry that it took so long to acknowledge your comments. They are very appreciated none the less.
