The Gunslinger

was so madly in love with this beautiful little squaw, the daughter of Chief Rainbow Lightning. Unfortunately he got to know her not under good circumstances, but when he and his dirty dozen raided the nearby native american village a while ago. Since that day this love which can never be makes him crazy and restless. Every night he has this dream...of being a boy from her village and musing with her under the sweet sunlight. But then he wakes up...and is still the cold-blooded cowboy he ever was.

:-) Maybe you have some fun seeing how this piece came together. I had no real plan to start with (like always) and the painting came together very organically. The whole piece took me about a month.
