Do you like Mulies ?

I started this one Sunday. I have a bit of tweaking to do to the body and head. I sat down and sketched this out in about an hour so it's not spot on. But will be. The painting is 18X24" the photo is 8x9"

I hope you all enjoy this one. I've been thinking of this for some time now. I am not a Mule Deer fan to hunt but this guy has a look about him.

I worked on the body last night. I saw a retina specialist yesterday and I'm having problems with perception. After I put this up and looked at it I saw the nose was off a bit. I'll repair that this evening and begin the lighter coloring on him.

Well In the Lion painting I hit a few stubbing blocks and I am at that place with the Muley . One great thing has happened , my wife is getting interested in my paintings now. I think she was sitting back and seeing if I was going to stick with painting. I do so many things that I leave them after I get satisfied. But it seems my desire is only growing to paint.
