It appears to be very well drawn Lucien...as with your others you have posted and they were brilliant.
Cannot really see it as well as the others though.
The shape of the horse and rider are very good .
But details are not very clear on rider for some reason.

Lucien
this is a great picture .With all the hours you put into this .It was worth it. It came out very ,very well ,Incidentally I hope your art show went well also. If I didn't live so many thousands of miles away I would of definitely gone
with this picture you get the real feel that the horse is giving this cowboy a ride for his life excellent job

Comment from Rockdoc


Having just shot a Rodeo with bucking bronco I can relate to this very well. Great tedious work in pointilissm and you have captured the action of both the bronco and rider well. Nice work Lucien and thanks Dave for letting him use your work as a guide.

I think the picture is provocative and beautiful. I do like your textures. I also like the lighting behind the edges. Could teach people a new thing or two.

Comment from sloeart


Lucien, This stippling is really nice. You are very good at this. Your shadows and light areas are perfect. You must have the patience of Job, to sit and do this. I know how long this takes because I have tried it myself. I like it but it is so slow and exacting. My respect for your dedication and patience, Diane

Comment from artengraver


Now here is a very talented artist. The tools we use are not the art it is the hand that creates it. You love doing this I can tell. I also do the same thing only in glass. I have been a glass engraver for 32 years now and can always tell someone who loves what he or she does. I can't find much that would be good to comment on except you might have left a little light in the rib cage area. and done a bit more work on the face of the rider. HIs leg should stand out a bit more in contrast to the hues of the horse. This area where the arrow is I am not sure what it is. Gee for not having any thing to comment about I guess I did...This is just my observation and I still think your work here is excellent.

Great shot to have rendered in this art form - must have taken so much time and concentration - details are so intricately included I can't help but be impressed at the effort this must have taken. Wow Sue

Great job Lucien! I like the 'pointillism' style here. I don't think I've ever seen it used in such an action shot like this. Well balanced, very interesting, and enjoyable to view. Thanks.
Jim

I have to go back to Dave's portfolio and check out the photo too...

    Jim,
    hello, good to hear from you, That was last year that Dave posted the photo. he has some new ones from a rodeo this year that are very good as well, he does great stop action shots.
    hay, there you go a Rodeo Chess set. How are the female sets coming along?
    anyway... thank you for having taken the time to look at and then review my work. I am pleased by the fact you like it and I appreciate the time. Take care and cheers!

I always like your stipple drawings, Lucien, and this once especially so. You took on quite a challenge to achieve both image and action, and I think you have done well. Nice work! ~roberta
