Default Genes Cowboy (sort of)

I don't usually post in the WIP section, but this one has been giving me night mares. I guess the problem is, I'm trying to be too big for my britches. I'm looking for comments before I attempt to paint him.

i share you feeling, i am looking at a project i dread to paint, but thats what we do,
hey as for the carving, man you are light years on me, i would be glad to keep him for you if he can get across the border,
i know you do him justice, i got the faith in you,
heck i am still working on the migrant worker, talk about slow.

Cliff, I think he looks very good. If he was mine I would make a little cut to separate the hat from the forehead. And that will make it easier to paint....keep the paint from "traveling".

Hi Cliff,

that's one neat cowboy. Now slap on the paint get on with the cane.

You're beyond the beginner stage.

Cliff:
He's ok. I agree about the separation of the hat and forehead, but if you don't want to go the effort, you could send him to me and I'll dispose of him properly!
