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.

Hi Cathy, beautiful piece! I've actually seen some of the pictographs in Dubois.
BTW, I just gave you the Liebster Blog Award. Please see my blog: http://kellysingleton.blogspot.com/
Best, Kelly
I had a chance to see this in the Bennington, Vt show. IT is amazing. I was very disappointed it didn't make it to the ASDM show this month in Tucson. Seemed only right since you will be teaching here in March. I look forward to meeting you and being in your class.
