This is an early original painting created to demonstrate Fred's ability to work in another genre of illustration - it's a classic pose, and would have worked fine....except for the fact that it wasn't needed; Fred was able to get ample jobs without having to worry about Westerns.  So this became just another portfolio piece, and now 40+ years later, a painting that you might enjoy owning!   Done in acrylics, approx 18" x 13" and comes signed.
