This is a Dixon rendition of Big Bill what y'all think of the brushwork?

Brushwork´s mighty fine. The horse model looks a bit... scrawny? Scruffy? Lost a bit for words. More like a bloodhound picking up a trail than a valiant steed.

I like highly contrasted paintwork. Not the best picture, but wild Bill seems to look very good!

Yea I know the photo is not up to scratch the high contrast is the photographers take on it not mine. Overall use your imagination. Oh and I wish I'd taken photos of him but time overcame me. Had to get them to Trev Dixon that fast.

Painted quite well. Something a little funny about the horse makes me think it has been rode hard.

Beautiful work. Horse looks appropriate for someone like Bill, too. An old, reliable nag.
