Geronimo In The Crosshairs

August 23, 2019
   Went down into the Beast yesterday to JC Printing, where I picked up five copies of Geronimo's face, from a photograph gifted to me by John Langellier, printed out on watercolor paper. My goal is take each one and paint on the canvas and try and capture the violent vortex that engulfed Geronimo's life.

   Got up this morning and bailed into the first one.

"Geronimo In The Crosshairs"

   The stars are from Hobby Lobby. Stopped there (47th Street and Cactus) on my way home and bought every kind of star they had.

   One of my goals is to show how dark and brutal those times were. That led me to the second one.

   Got a couple more going, but they are works in progress. I'll post a few more tomorrow.
