A Cowboy friend of mine wanted this portrait…and myself being a Cowboy Junkie…I sure didn’t mind .
This drawing was drawn with a mixture of Pastel Pencils and Prismacolor Pencils, on card stock, acid free,low tooth, bonded artist drawing paper. Sprayed with a fixitive to prevent fading and ensure preservation.
12"X12 in unframes size.
I have a private Fine Art and Photography Studio now at my home in Mesquite, Nevada.
Thanks for viewing my art.

I enjoy a full time career as a working Fine Art Artist and Natural Lifestyle Photographer.
To me, my art and photography is the best way to express what I see around me.
I also teach both mediums and I host 2 and 3 day Art and Photography Retreats through my private studio on my desert property in Nevada.
I formed Elbow Canyon Fine Art & Photography Retreats several years ago to offer my students a unique one-on-one instruction.
Thanks for viewing my work

Love the roughness you allowed on this one, fits the personality perfectly. Excellent work Susan. You know how much I love to see your pastels.
Thanks Jim…I love to doing Cowboy Art…and retaining the “Maleness” is sometimes a uphill climb…I pulled out colors that I never thought would work and then thought what the heck!
Thanks again for your continued support!
