Welcome Home

Welcome Home
16x20 oil/linen panel

I started this one a couple of weeks ago, and then had  to stop and finish up some other deadlines. It is never good for me to leave a painting sitting around for too long... for some reason, I just can't get back into the groove with it... 
Though I sort of lost my enthusiasm, I did try to at least bring it to a conclusion... This ol' rancher has been out, maybe on a hunting trip, and he's finally home, at the end of the day.... As he stops to open the gate and walk the horses through, the ranch dog has seen him and come running to greet him...My dogs would be jumping all over me.
