Lisa is a good friend and also my riding teacher -- and an incredible one at that! She asked me to paint this scene from an old photo of her in her childhood. She grew up in this area of Wyoming. I gues riding from a youngster. But I love this outfit-- chaps, hat, gun --- and such a serious face. All business! The original photo was a bit faded and quite small so I had to beef it up a bit. Thanks Lisa -- for the opportunity and all the wonderful riding instructions --- and taking such good care of my boy Captain!!!
