Woman drover
I have painted this woman in watercolor in the past. She is one of the drovers in the historic Fort Worth stockyards, where we have a longhorn cattle drive twice daily. I started this a few weeks ago and then abandoned it. I let it sit and dry and then decided to re-visit it and see what I could do to improve it. I'm not entirely happy with it because it seems to be too smooth and blended. I am really trying to develop a style that is much looser and less blended. That is not the case with this piece but it is what it is.

i think i remember the watercolor, dena. i can appreciate a sense of rough-and-readiness that less blending would add to this piece....but really, its good this way, too. sorry i have been awol the last week or two. with the traveling to and from palm desert each day for a workshop, i didn't have much energy for correspondence.
