Norris Sketch

Well it's been a week or so since my last post. I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas. Today's post is a pencil sketch of my old cowboy neighbor Norris D. I've always wanted to do a painting in a style similar to James Bama's cowboy/western art. Well at least similar to his subject matter, not necessarily in style.  

While talking to Norris a couple of weeks ago, I had an overpowering urge to paint him. I have never had such a powerful impression to paint anyone, as I did then. So I ran into the house, grabbed my dslr, and took a few shots. I'm hoping to post a color study next week.

Cheers!
