Default Cooling His Heels Figure Painted

I finally found some time to paint my cowboy figure that will go into the Cooling His Heels scene that I've been working on. I hope to find some more time tomorrow to work on this piece. Let me know what you think.

I love it when I feel as relaxed as he looks. Great job conveying that feeling in his expression and pose. Nice paint also.
