Another Trail To Ride

I sing of arms and men, not of presidents, kings, generals, or passing explorers, but of those who survived their own personal, lonely Alamos, men who drove the cattle, plowed the furrows, built their shelters against the wind, the men who built a nation.

This painting represents the forever cowboy who knows the trails, from Texas to Montana and back again.  He is the man who rides for the brand.  I will let you write his story, for every word you write could be a true story.  Let me know what your story is.

Big Iron On His Hip

20" X 28" Color Pencil Painting on Mi Tentes Pastel Paper.  Framed (approx. 27" X 33") price - $1800

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day.

Hardly spoke to folks around hid, didn't have to much to say.

No one dared to ask his business to make a slip.

For the stranger htere among them had a big iron on his hip.

Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around.

Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town.

He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead.

And he said it didn't matter, he was after Texas Red.

Big Iron

Each piece I paint has a story to tell.  Each poem will help you to know part of the story.  The rest I will leave to your imagination, for that is where the magic lies.  Let me know what you think the story is about.
