Buckaroo Oil Painting by K Henderson

 
Buckaroo, 40 x 20, oil on linen

In the not too distant past, before computers and big screen TV's we had small black and white televisions (or so I've been told). In the afternoons we watched The Lone Ranger, Zorro, Roy Rogers and a number of other Western Icons.

 And of course we wanted to grow up to be just like our Western Heroes. The first thing we needed was a cool outfit complete with hat and a pair of Six Shooters.

This Buckaroo is wearing all the right stuff for an afternoon of fighting the bad guys.

Sings to the Buffalo~Oil Painting by K Henderson

Sings to the Buffalo, 36 x 24, oil on linen

According to tradition some people were gifted by spirit helpers to use a special song to lure buffalo into a  buffalo pound  which was a huge corral with walls covered by the leaves of thick bushes. As he sang, he used a drum. The song enticed the lead buffalo cow to bring her herd into the enclosure.

This painting is inspired by a 1880's photograph of a Cree Indian who was said to have this gift.
