Anyways still forcing myself to plug along.
There were several times I wanted to give up on this guy, but pushed through and am pretty happy with how it turned out (though still might tweak a few things here and there). The rocks and grass and brush took FOREVER!
Story behind the Art: My friend Kim and I were hiking near Dubois, WY last fall looking at some really cool Native American Pictographs in the stone when this guy stood up on a distant ridge line. When he looked up the hill and the sun illuminated his face I was glad I was ready with my camera. I chose to include small pictographs in the shadow part of the rock as sort of a tribute. Sorry for blurry photo - it is raining outside.
