Comanche
(Survivor of Custer's Last Stand)
A sorrel horse stands proudly on a flat rock plateau overlooking
a vast surreal canyon. The horse is profiled right and fills
the canvas. In the background are cumulus clouds over distant
mountains. The subject of the painting is "Comanche,"
the sole survivor of Custer's Last Stand. The history of Comanche
and and the Battle of the Little Big Horn makes this a favorite
of mine.
From a 1958 painting titled: "Comanche"
Oil on canvas, 22 x 28 inches
