Red Scarf is a painting I did from research gathered at an artist's rendezvous one summer. Robert is a wonderful character model! I have done several paintings of him and love not only his countenance, but the way he sits on a horse, the way he stands.  He's fuel for an artist's brush!

In this piece, I found as I painted that I was particularly drawn to the way the light hit his hat. You never quite know where a painting will take you when it comes alive!

Red Scarf was sold at a show at The National Cowboy Museum.
