THIS SERIES  IS CALLED "COWBOYS FOR KRISHNA" I SAW A BUMPER STICKER THAT
SAID " COWBOYS FOR CHRIST". AND I THOUGHT  THAT WAS  SILLIEST THING  I EVER SAW.
SO I CREATED THIS SERIES   JUST TO SHOW THE   IDIOCY OF RELIGIOUS PROSELYTIZING [click on the thumbnails for a larger view]

There is a GREAT myth  bout  COWBOYS. .

Tis a  breed of men .  eulogized ..  and  fantasized ,  and  also hard working NO NONSENSE MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  ive LIVED with them, at differnt times  and gotta tell ya. 
 BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIINGGGGGGGGG
there is  NOTHING  attractive bout a COWBOY [ other  than the phantasy]

  Run with your  phantasy.  but im here to tell ya .  after moving  a BAZILLION tons  of SOIL  in the  SEARCH for GOLD  out in the  superstition mountains. [  with  an  egomaniac  of a   CURSE called a   "FATHER " to confirm  his   EGO centric  pathetic existence] and our workers were a  hired   bunch of " cowhands" its NOT  what ya think..
 

.[ But............................................. then again  there WAS  DWAYNE!!!. wow.  Thats   another  story.

 the   PHANTASY became the REALTY,  at  HIS  insistence of course .]
 

 He and  I   made  BROKEBACK  MOUNTAIN  look  like a  nursery rhyme  ]
Most  were right  winged, short  tempered,  cant  talk   more  than  2 syllables  sentences kind of guys.    DWAYNE was sort of like  that , but when he looked at me  there was this   obtuse  chemistry, and believe me it was the LAST place on earth  i thought  anyone was thinking  on MY side of the tracks.

The ONLY thing we had in common was we liked GOOD  CIGARS,  and  cheap  WHISKEY.
[they DONT have NAME brands in the desert . honest.]   
 

 Married Straight men  are SO weird sometimes....
.  

 oppps.  sorry .......... got off the track again . so  . where was I ??  oh yeah!!!!!.
. the COWBOY series. .

So this is  a " spoof" on them ..[ which  came out pretty good actually ]|
 The  paintings which  are all  oil pastel and water colour on  gessoed paper are in a private collection

Recent additions are  a part of  a group of  American   Indians  that i did ,  much more  spiritual  than the  romp in the hay and the fields and the barns  and mountain  ranges,  running and playing  in  freezing  streams, , and sleeping under the proverbial stars  that i did  with good ole  DWAYNE.
