I love the title. Reminds me of western movies where lawlessness is prevalent as well as violence. Great title consistent with this image. High on storytelling potential. I like how you have drawn and painted your cowboy with its holster and hat ready to pull the trigger. Now, this is surely an image with a story to tell.

Comment from Kathy Banich


I smiled from ear to ear when I saw this. My dad (now is assisted living) loves the cowboys. I designed his shadowbox (outside his front door) with various western images and figurines. On his door, I hung a couple of Yosemite Sam pics. Had I seen this just a few months ago, I would have been reaching out to buy it for him. I love it!

Wow, Maureen, where to start?

First, that barrel, along with the background design is extremely "Explosive" in both composition as well as storytelling. The end of the rifle (shotgun) provides that target for our eyes (LOL); becoming the initial focal point. Our eyes are then led down the rifle to those determined eyes that are accented in that appropriate Gunbarrel Blue color.

A very fun, entertaining and well-orchestrated piece. Again, I love it! Wish I have something higher than a 6!

    Yes Maureen - let me know how much "You Said What" is. I'd love to consider it as a Christmas Gift for my dad! Plus, it would bring a smile to my face every time I visit him and see it. No need to mat or frame - I have a full studio and a husband that has framing down to a fine art. LOL

That you are a very accurate and brilliant rifle shooter! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that man taking aim at me. Colours, textures and tones are good. Nicely drawn!

This is an action shot, literally. Great use of color and wonderful attention to detail. It's as if he is emerging from our childhood memories, and tickling our funny bone. Just a fine display of your talent.

    You are very welcome, if you think I did great with the helicopter, I must have. I am going to try the human art contest too.
