Rio Grande

This is my entry for the Collage Obsession challenge where we were given this wonderful old cowboy image to play with. The background and old text is from scrapbookgraphics, coyote and wagon wheel from wikimedia and artistic filters added for a worn and rustic look.

  15. You did some amazing things with the color green. Instead of an earthy feel,you gave your green a rustic, old western dusty look. This piece has such an authentic quality about it. I really love it.
