Saddle on a Chair

Over the years, my paintings have been a conduit to life-experiences. This painting, done in the late 1970's, was sold to H. C. Lewis of Lubbock, thru a gallery in Santa Fe. That event began years of wonderful, intense, and even tragic, relationships with the lives of many out in the ranch country on the great plains of Texas. Maybe I'll put that in a book someday. (About the painting): approx 16"x20", acrylic on stretched canvas. The model was a warm-up saddle in a riding stable at Stroud, Oklahoma. It is now in a private collection.
