The Cowgirl Series .. Cowgirl V: Masking the Pain

Here's the latest in my Cowgirl series .
I was thinking of a painting to do for the Alphabets and had come up with M for mask.. but when I found this mask with this hat on, I decided instead she should be a Cowgirl .
When Love is Gone was the last, so naturally afterwards, what do we do, but mask the pain! Hence the bold colours, to take away from what's happening in the eyes.

  1. What a beautiful mask! And what a good idea to continue the cowgirl series! Her eyes look really sad...

  2. Great painting, but I really must say I love the previous post, I have been thinking about a new painting, not in a sketchbook but on a real canvas and couldn't think what style so I love that you explained your process for an original painting and I will also try to create something equally dreamy and fantastic.
