Free Air

Free Air

I returned April 23, 2009 for more and better photographs of certain items, (the "We're Hopen for Business" sign, and the sculptured pack-donkey among them.) The clutter had all moved around, as had the furniture in front of the bar next door, and the composition I loved at sight was no longer there. Neither was Cowboy Bob. I didn't begin painting Free Air in earnest until January 2010. Unknown to me, Cowboy Bob Keiser passed away December 29, 2009.
