Sorry it ain't any bigger but I think you have seen these in books. Maybe Davy can pump it up. :grin:
I think it would be fun to have a Fandango on a flatboat.

Wow! That's one I've never seen before. Wish I'd come across that when I was preparing a presentation on Masonic history a couple of years ago (Crockett, Bowie, Travis, and Santa Anna were all three Freemasons). Who painted it, and when?

Don't have digitals of them, but I really like

1) The 1830 painting of the Kickapoo warrior on the Trinity River in TX Luis Sanchez y Tapia. It was published in Berlandier's 'Indians of TX in 1830'.

2) AJ Miller's field sketches of 'picketing the horses', 'Bill Burrows, Rocky Mountain Trapper', 'Louis, RM trapper, 'Indian Guide', and the one of the pack mule chunking it's packs (can't remember the name).

3) Charles Deas 'Long Jakes'[url] http://www.classicartrepro.com/artistsc.iml?painting=6089[/url]

Just a few of many.

Here is an artist that I like, Paul Calle. He is a modern artist, with decent prices.

I have 2 signed & numbered prints that look great in the living room. I bought them for my husband's 40th. The ones I purchased are called "They Call Me Matthew" and "Through the Tall Grass"

I'm no good at cutting and pasting stuff!
