The Posse

Original Acrylic - 42x62

Pat Garrett and his men chasing Billy the Kid out on the Llano Estacado during the winter of 1879. “I did this painting while reading Homer's "Iliad" so I made these lawmen into mythical centaurs. I have used the centaur creature many times before when painting figures of our American myth so that I can tie our myths to the great myths of antiquity. It's all the same story, the dates, the people, and the events may change but it's always the same story.”
