SKATING ON THE RIO BRAVO THE DAY HELL FROZE OVER
Found black & white cabinet card of a Texas cowboy ice skating around 1885 (though the original photo was shot in a photo studio with fake scenery and no snow.) Image was blown up, cut out, colored (acrylics, markers, ink pen, paint pen) and mounted on a repurposed (copy of) a song sheet of Texas songs. Snow is gratuitous. I used a single lone star (mandated on all Texas flags) which represents ALL of Texas and "stands for our unity as one for God, State, and Country."
