The Bullfighter - Painted

Here he is all painted and ready to face that horny hunk of bovine coming out of the chutes heading straight for the barrell. If you look close you can really tell that his guy is sweating the encounter.

I had a lot of fun with this piece. I guess the hardest part of it was all the painting but that's the part I really enjoy. While it doesn't show up too much in the photos he's wearing overalls, a yello polka dot shirt and a dark blue polka dot tie. I stuck that arrow through his hat just for fun and if you could read the hat band it would say "Eat More Chicken!"

Lots of photos in the Gallery and as always, comments are welcome and appreciated.
