Description

When I start the painting process, whether watercolor, oil or acrylic, for me the canvas is a way for me to be as creative and expressive as needed to tell a story. These stories usually come from real life adventures and this piece is no different than many that I've done.

It's not that I am not use to seeing people dressed in character. After all, I live in Plymouth and see actors playing the part of early pilgrims either downtown near the Mayflower or at Plimoth Plantation. Once a year around September and October, King Richards Faire brings the renaissance to life by recreating a 16th-century marketplace, including musicians, singers, dancers, minstrels, mimes and so on.

San Antonio Cowboy is a little different in my mind. It's about the past meeting the present.

The inspiration came from the sight of a couple of costumed men dressed in the character of the Old West. They were walking down one of the main streets of San Antonio as if they were going to the general store for dry goods or to the saloon for a drink. It was as if they had no idea they were out of place and oblivious to all the modern structures around them. It was 1825 in the 21st century.
