“Bob” This loose
portrait was done from a snap shot I took at a western art show
a few years ago. My goal here was to reverse the usual compositional
rule of placing dark objects against light backgrounds to achieve
contrast. The dark hat here merges with the shadow background and
his light shirt is only indicated against a stucco wall. This painting
is among many of the western art category online at www.donvernongallery.com.
It measures 8” X 10” and was executed in acrylics on
canvas. My web site also features native American art as well as
wildlife art. Western art is a great American tradition and covers
a wide variety of subject matter that I explore, including native
American art, wildlife art and cowboy art
