Had a speech last night at the Phippen Museum in Prescott. A hundred rowdy guests, dinner, tall tales and a great time. Got up this morning and whipped out a little drawing of Louis The XIV:
Daily Whipout: "Louis The XIV Out West"
This is for an upcoming True West Moment. Meanwhile, I was cleaning in the studio and ran across this great, old photograph:
Pioneer Cowgirls
I also ran across this painting which will appear in The Life & Legend of Mickey Free:
Daily Whipout: "Ay Chihuahua an Airborne Apache"
While digging through my sketchbooks I found this amazing page of images:
Daily Whipouts: "Mucho Mexicanos"
Dang, wish I could paint like this every day (this was five years ago!). Need to make a commitment to get back into this zone: and thinking about it, isn't the same as commiting. Meanwhile, I have made a thousand beginnings and there's only one end in sight.
