dready art ‘cowgirl’ – 17×26 – limited edition HD archival pigment print

an evolution of an image and an idea …  right down to the dog and where to put it was an evolution …

so it started with 2 completely separate projects, one about cowboys and one about a girl and her horse and the two started to meld together along the way … you know, what better cowboy horse than an appaloosa kinda thought process. (you can see the appaloosa below)

then it was just a cowgirl on a horse, and I thought it needs something, some whimsy, it needs a dog and emma said yes, definitely it needs a dog … and people started to suggest kinds of dogs …

elena has a dog named willow and willow’s kinda in and out of the house all the time, she was here today just hanging out while we worked, and although this isn’t really willow, per se, it is kinda like willow, especially the look … (if it don’t go so, it nearly go so.)

dunno, maybe a cross between willow and guiness and some other dog, some random internet dog … i was drawing a black dog (’cause of ease and because another coloured animal would clash) but i felt a touch, a smidge of white on the dog would help …

anyhow, so evolution …

revolution …
