Mary Ann and Button

This is yet another sample. I asked a friend who is in the middle of the real cowboys to send a photo of her and a pet and this is what I got back.

She has an infectious personality and moves easily among the low and high born, so I figured a piece featuring her would not be unnoticed among her circles.

It is a 20x16 and there was very little detail to work from, so it is attitude, mood and a sense of place.

I am asking for critique, not just unveiling, because she is thrilled. I know the composition is odd, but there is a weird sense of "Just Right" I got when I put it on the canvas.

It is huge, in my tackling a full body, a horse and actually suggesting landscape and with a few corrections, I am going to let it dry and send it home with her next week.

Would like feedback and suggestions, as I feel it has stretched me, but not sure it is in all the right directions.
