This one is titled &#8220;The Pack&#8221; and is an acrylic on canvas, 20&#8243; wide by 10&#8243; high.  I took &#8220;some&#8221; photos of the painting as I was working on it from start to finish.  Going through them, I just think &#8220;UGH!&#8221;  I&#8217;m happy with the end result, but I have to admit that my back, neck, and shoulders took a beating after pouring long hours into this one.
