Time for a Change~Join me in my Journey.

Thanks to all that have followed my art for the past 30 years. I appreciate each and every one of you. And while I will continue to post my American Indian and Western Art Paintings it's time to expand my blog. I hope you will continue to follow my blog as I include new painting subject matter as well as other things that I am involved in.
Life in a small rural community is a God given blessing to me and my husband. I am spending more time out of the studio and more time enjoying life around me.
Please join me in my journey.

Rattle Snake

I went out this afternoon to check my bird feeders as I usually do. While at the feeders I heard kind of a buzzing noise. "Cicada" thought I. As I pivoted around a movement on the ground caught my eye. This guy was 6" from my leg, coiled and pulling his head back in the strike position (of course he had a head at the time).
I took a few steps toward the house, calmly put down the bird feeders I was holding, called my dog who was out with me and then ran into the house screaming "RATTLESNAKE!" at which time my brave hunter Hubby came out and blew the head off of the Serpent.
Note to self: Wear boots when you go out.

Fears Nothing~Oil Painting by K Henderson

Fears Nothing, 20 x 30, oil on linen

This painting shows a Plains Indian with a black hand (coup mark) painted on his face. This is a sign of Bravery. To be first to touch the enemy was regarded as the bravest deed of all, it was even a point of bravado for a single warrior to rush in among the enemy and strike one with quirt, coup stick or gun before attempting to fire, thus risking his own life.

This Cowgirl oil painting is my most recent in my Silver Screen Cowgirl series. Don't you love those crazy fringed cowhide cuffs? I can't get enough of the retro cowgirl style.

I love Western Movies especially those with Classy Cowgirls. The sepia tone brings back the feeling of the Saturday Matinee western serial.
