Looking Up
This digital painting of a cowboy in a predicament is published by a national company as a greeting card and other gift products (mugs, magnets, t-shirts, etc.)
The card has a verse inside “hope things are looking up,” a satirical greeting of hope and well wishes to anyone going through tough times.
Whether in a western setting, humorous or serious, it is a look at the way life sometimes puts us at odds with seemingly impossible situations… you either laugh or cry, and pray like crazy.
Now available as a print.

Thanks ychty…
I’ve been doing art for this publisher since 1980. Most has been on cards, but quite a few have been on magnets, cups, notepads. They did shirts for a short time. I couldn’t begin to guess how many different pieces of my art they have published in their product lines. I’m far from being their most prolific artist. Some my other pieces are at http://www.nateowens.com (supposed to be able to make this text linkable, but haven’t figured that part out yet.. sorry)

Thanks again so much for the gracious comments.
Don’t think I would want to do comic book work… too much of the same thing – I like to do ‘em and keep moving ahead.
You guys are makin’ me blush… =8^)
