Finally! I have the background all roughed in. Now you can see why his foot was at an odd angle. Each section of the "buck rail" fence has its own brace. That is what Don's foot is resting on. I detailed Don's chaps on his left leg. Still quite a bit of detail on the wood. It will also take a while to smooth all the edges on Don. No matter how careful you are, you still get a little paint on him where the background bumps up to him. For me, it is still easier painting the subject first. Lasso and detailing next. Hopefully it will have my signature on the next post.
Thanks for looking everyone.--Denny ;{
Here is the final. The lasso actually took me two days to complete. I had to rough in the texture, let it set up over night and I finished detailing it today. I added more detail to the "buck rail" and several other places as well.
Humbly yours,

I just donated "The Bronze Cowboy" piece to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center's Annual Art Auction here in Cody, WY. They are going to feature it on their website starting next month until the auction this coming September. They are linking my website to theirs as well. They are also going to display the actual piece there in their gallery as well. The traffic through that museum and their website is unbelievable! You just can't buy advertisement like that! I am so stoked and so is the BBHC!!
