Beautiful piece!  David Mack's command of his brushwork is truly impressive.

Thanks so much, Paul!  Yes his brushwork is so very distinctive.

Almost no one cares about the Western genre anymore, in any form of media/entertainment, but I love it. I also love seeing Mack brush this one out, as it provides something different from the usual painted stuff I'm so used to seeing from him. A very lovely piece!

Thanks so much,  Rubén!  It's wonderful to know that otheres love the Western genre as well.

Looks like you haven't watched Yellowstone or the spinoff 1883 or  Monarch.   Yeeehawww!  Mack's drybrush is as dry as a tumbleweed.

I still watch re-runs of Bonanza!

There's always a little show called The Mandalorian that seems to use a lot of cowboy tropes.

Believe it or not, Marcus, I haven't had the time to catch that series although everyone is saying how great it is.

I love the split-brush effect Mack employs on some of those lines.  With relatively little means, he adds a great deal of movement with his brush work.

Many thanks, Rob!  So good to hear from you - and from one learned in the field as well.  I trust that you are keeping well.

Wow, what a cool pairing of artist & character! I never imagined seeing a Western piece in Mack's distinctive, delicate style.

Thanks, Kevin!  Yes, this is a very unusual combination of subject matter and style.

Nice! Love Two-Gun Kid!

Thank you so much, Jason!  As I elaborate upon in the introduction to this particular gallery, the Two-Gun Kid is also my favorite for a number of reasons.

really nice,simple but very effective.who said no one likes a western? Ruben? if jonh Wayne was alive he  would ride up to Canada and slap him silly!

Many thanks, Brian.  In fairness though Rubén does have a point.  Westerns aren't as popular as they used to be.

What a fantastic choice of character for David to draw (and his beautiful brushwork absolutely fits this to a "T"...).  I love the simple shapes here that add so much (the semi-circle sun, the belt and holster) and allow the viewer to really fall into the mask, hat, and gun details...  An incredible, special, unorthodox piece.  Fantastic choice of Mack commission - what a beauty!  Congrats, CAB!

Thanks, Jason!  Yes, his unique style really leant a quite different take to this character!
