In this painting I worked from a photographic reference, it is an Acoma Dancer. And of course I applied my artistic license and plucked him out of the original scene, which had lots of other people in it and was in an arena. The picture is from a trip we took up to Taos from a couple of summers ago. I love the southwest and western themes and I spend a lot of time out in New Mexico and many of my paintings will reflect that.
