ALAN BAKER-BUFFALO BILL

This is the first piece of a new collection for me. This is Alan
Baker of Cody, Wyoming in character as a middle-aged, William
"Buffalo Bill" Cody. The photo reference was taken by my wife, Leigh,
when we were in Cody last September.

Here is a series of five "work in progress" shots so everyone can see
there is not a photo underneath, only my pencil lines that I drew.



 


 

This study was the first of many
photos that Alan so graciously let us capture. The greatest thing
about this photo, it was totally "candid." We stepped onto the porch
of Buffalo Bill's historical hotel, "The Irma," named for his
daughter. We first saw Alan waiting patiently for his turn to play
his part in an "Old West" re- enactment when Leigh snapped this
fantastic milli-second in time.
This is a painting is on a Masonite, Gesso covered board called
"Clayboard" made by Ampersand. The overall size of this painting is
16" x 20," painted to the finished edges. The medium is acrylics.


 

 

I am not sure of the exact total time to complete but it took roughly
about 45-50 hours, I think. Actually, I don't believe this one took
any longer than some of my highly detailed graphite pieces.

 

 

Here are three "zoom-ins" so everyone can take a closer look.
