"Lucky Cowboy Hat"

"Lucky Cowboy Hat"

While on vacation in Arizona

 we went to a rodeo.

I was sitting in the stands and there was a

cowboy sitting in front of me with

 this really neat looking cowboy hat on.

In my mind I had a vision of  how good this hat would look 

as a little note card painting, 

so I grabbed up my camera and snapped a quick picture.

Soon after - the cowboy got up and left.

The next event started and much to my surprise that cowboy

was riding in the bull riding competition ...

and  HE WAS THE BIG WINNER!!!

I was so excited for him and at the same time

 felt very lucky that I had taken the time to snap that one simple photo.

I just love the way it turned out after just adding the red hat band and feather.

Don't be afraid to add your own ideas to your paintings.

YOU ARE THE ARTIST ... YOU KNOW!
