Description I spent 2 hours sitting on the floor in the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum studying this amazing painting. I wanted to paint in the museum so that I could get something color-accurate. After much begging and bartering, the museum staff eventually agreed to let me bring in my laptop and tablet so that I could do color studies on site. (Thanks guys)

I didn't do a sketch so the structure of the piece is pretty loose. My main goal was to capture the color and I think that went well. 

Original: Oil, 2008, by Bill Anton . Study: Photoshop CS5 & Intuos5, 2 hours, very sore legs. 

In case you missed it, THIS IS NOT AN ORIGINAL WORK. DO NOT COPY OR POST THIS ANYWHERE. THANK YOU.

I love to paint fast! (But in this case it was mostly a rush because I was getting tired of my legs going numb every 10-15 minutes.) haha

I'll follow you elsewhere; cowboy heritage museum sounds extremely boring to me (no offense to peeps!)

Oh my goose have you never BEEN? It's AMAZING. There's a whole western town inside that's locked in an eternal night and you can lock your friends in the jail house and leave them there.

I would certainly never abandon youuuu in cowboy jail. But seriously you need to go with me! Val came last time and just sketched an Elk. It was great! (And you can totally still use your student ID to get a discount.)

9$ with ID. 12$ otherwise. Though Ted the Security Guy said I might be able to get in free if I'm just going to sit in front of one painting the whole time and draw.
