I got some good progress done on the painting today. Most of the color is blocked in. I really like the character that is coming out in the cowboy’s face. You should take a look. The video isn’t very long. The color on the horse is a little dark but I can lighten it up as needed. This will be it until next week for this painting.

I’m off to Cameron Trading Post tomorrow. Cameron is on the western side of the Navajo reservation. We’ll spend Friday night there and then Saturday we’ll move on to Gallup, NM. On the way to Gallup, we’ll stop at Winslow, AZ to checkout the La Posada Hotel, one of the few Harvey Houses left from the railroad days. While we are there, we are going to stand on that famous corner, in Winslow Arizona. What corner you ask? Come on. You remeber the Eagles song? OK, if you don’t then you’ll have to look it up.

In Gallup we are spending Satruday night at the El Ranch Hotel, famous for where the movies stars all stayed while filming the movies such as produced by John Ford in Monument Valley, AZ…John Wayne, Lauren Bacall, et al.

I hope to post some video from this trip on my HiThisIsMike Channel on Youtube. Stay turned

I’ll be  in the shop on Monday and get back to this painting then.
