My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

I started out with the idea for canvas word art from Pinterest. I have always loved the movie My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys. I also Oklahoma State Cowboys and Pistol Pete. So I decided to combine them into one.

I started with a 10"x13" canvas, which I painted orange. My aunt owns a Cricut, which we used to cut out the letters in vinyl. I placed the vinyl on the canvas, as shown below. 

Next, I used black spray paint. I peeled the letters off after the paint dried. I needed to touch up some of it, because the black paint bled behind some of the letters. I ended up repainting all of the black by hand.
