The Little Cowboy




Been rustling up some cowboys.  Little ones.   Couldn't you just squeeze those cheeks . . . and he is such a patient model too.  He is just one of those kids who gives you a range of emotion without much need for direction.  But that is the way I like to create children's portraits. None of that "do this, look here and smile" stuff really works well when you are trying to capture their soul.  Just let them be "them" and wait until they have that certain look that is just very simply who they really are.
