Wow. Hard to tell that they are paintings and not photos.

He's good!
Lots of very talented western artists, both alive and dead. I appreciate the detail and character they all have.
The one's I like best are the one's that make you say "Hey, I've done that! And he got it right!"
Cowboys are picky about their authenticity.

Lots of talent
Thanks for sharing
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Those are nice, the guy from Gunsmoke is a very good artist. I can’t think of his name.

Not everybody can draw a horse. bump The way he highlights and shows the muscling of the horse is incredible. They look like photographs when you first look at them. The storm cloud detail is also lifelike also.

He is probably using a technique similar to Boris Vallejo's to paint such realistic and proportioned animals and men. I wonder too if it is acrylic paint to give it that flat photo look. This artist has taken it to next level as far as realism compared to most painters.

Little too tight of a rein....
Cowboy is uptight about something.
And the reins would have an opposite grip in my left hand.
