Mallard Cowboy Float





So this is what I'm working on this, the final night of 2010. This is the beginning of what is going to be a Tournament of Roses Parade "like" parade float pull-toy. I'm planning on incorporating textures within the paint in some areas to achieve a floral look. I'm just tweaking a few more small details and within the hour, I will begin the paper mache layering process. Then gesso and begin painting tomorrow! This is by far the most elaborate piece yet and measures 15x8x12" and will also be mounted on a wheeled base.

Mini Recycled Cowboy Angels Photo Shoot
















I finally finished this batch of CB Angels and had time to photograph them. I really had a blast figuring them out and am hoping to send them off to a few galleries in the coming weeks. Happy New Year!

Updated Mini Angel Cowboy's

So I've been painting and re-painting my mini Cowboys. I'm really getting there with being happy with the color combination's that I'm coming up with. I feel like they've all been color comps. One is completely finished and I've attached an alligator clip to his lower rear to allow for him to clip securely to the Christmas tree branches. I hope to complete a few more of them this weekend.

This week I purchased a brand new color correct magnifying swing arm lamp that's really going to help with the details as is the 000 brush I got too!

Be sure to check back and see the all new accessories that these Cowboys are going to have!
