For fans of old western movies, you might recognize this familiar face: Gus. After wearing out the old VCR tape of Lonesome Dove, I decided to find another way to capture the essence of the movie by painting Gus. I enjoyed the challenge of capturing his his emotions - his eyes 'pop with a sense of light and the knot on his handkerchief is tied forcefully so it won’t fall off in the wind while he is riding.
