Description
"Cowgirl Autumn"
A cowgirl rides on her paint horse over dry fall grass. She carries a rifle, resting on her shoulder as she glances to right of the scene as if she spotted something in the distance. Around her trees sport their autumn foliage underneath a deep blue sky.
This is my first image to feature a cowgirl. In preparing for it, I look at hundreds of images of cowgirls. Most of them were wildly silly in appearance. I wanted to go for something a bit more historically accurate. So I went to the old photos of the American Wild West. There are actually not that many depicting cowgirls. The ones I did find though usually had them wearing long dark skirts and light blouses. None of the ridiculous frilly vests, rhinestones, and overly tight chaps you seem to get with modern costumes.
I made this using a variety of digital art techniques such as 3D rendering and digital painting.
Thanks for looking,
Daniel
