We had a lot of fun painting together. We also did some horseback riding and camped out one night too.

The open gate leads to a cattle corral. I'm going to use this one as reference for a larger painting.
"Canelo", 8x10" oil, Frank Gardner © 2009
Canelo means cinnamon in Spanish. He was tied up, but moved around constantly. We used bits of apple to lure him back into place every so often so we could paint him. The rest of the time we painted the background.

The light hitting the cactus spines really attracted me to paint "Nopal and Tree".
