Two weeks ago I gave you a sneak peek of a sketch I was working on for a friend. This precious lady lost her husband last year and has had a tough year since he passed away. He and she were performers in the award-winning American West Reenactment and Performance group, Southwest Legends Gunfighters. They so enjoyed doing this together that as a tribute to his memory, she asked me to do a sketch of her in costume standing by his "gravesite" at the Southwest Legends Gunfighters' cemetery called Boot Hill. I consider it an honor to have been able to do this sketch of her and hope that it will be a source of comfort to her.

You certainly know how to capture the essence of things.... your sketch beautifully depicts, not only the spirit of the Old West, but also the mere essence of life…. Just beautiful!
