Wishin' on a Star

Wishin' on a Star, 40 x 30, oil on linen

By now you've figured out that I'm a fan of old (and not so old) western movies. Here is my latest Silver Screen Cowgirl.

The title was inspired by the lyrics from "Along the Navajo Trail". (Click the link to hear Sons of the Pioneer sing this classic song.)

I love to lie and listen to the music
When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar
When over yonder hill the moon is climbin'
It always finds me wishin' on a star

"Along the Navajo Trail" as written by Dick Charles, Edgar Eddie De Lange, Larry Markes

SOLD at Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa

Years Have Gone

This Plains Indian wears eagle feathers and has white face paint.

What is the meaning of the face paint in my American Indian paintings?

American Indians painted their faces for decorative purposes and for protection against the wind, sun, snow and insects. Designs of various kinds were used to designate membership in certain societies, to prepare for ceremonies, to mark achievement and to mourn the dead. When used for personal ornamentation there was no guide to the way the paint should be applied beyond the fancy of the wearer or for personal identification.

SOLD
