        I’ve done about as much fiddling with this one as I can muster. Still not happy with the face, but it’s getting to the point where it is getting overworked.
        The reference was a low res scan of a sun faded photo from the early 80’s, so it was incredibly difficult. On to bigger and hopefully better things. Acrylic on canvas

        C & C is A-OK!

        This is a beautiful acrylic southwestern scene! Great repetition of shape with the child’s outstretched arms above the hilly/mountain range on the horizon. The horse is just putting up with it.

            Hi Konfuzd, and welcome to the Southwestern/Western Art forum! :wave: This is really beautifully done. You managed to capture expression, movement, and feeling despite your challenges with the reference image. It is such a lovely painting. Well done!
