…and I will go to Texas Davy Crockett – CED day 9.
Today is day 9 of the “Creative Everyday Challenge, 2014″. Where I draw something and post it every day. January’s Theme is “Past, Future, and present”
This day, in 1836 Davy Crockett wrote one of his last letters, I think the very last to congress – stating his intentions to move to Tejas (it was still Tejas then, not a state – Texas did not win independence until later). A few days prior to his January 9 letter – he was having beers with friends in Memphis where he coined the well known idiom -“you may go to hell, and I will go to Texas” in reaction to that years elections. See, he wasn’t a big fan of Jackson, or VanBuren or their policies. And well he just lost his Congressional Seat in Tennessee.
I could work this one out a lot longer but I decided to stop at the concept. not has happy as I was with last nights but hey, win some lose some. Here you are, king of the wild Frontier. (also, 2 months from now, back then, he will die in the stand at the Alamo).
And I will go to Texas, Davy Crockett
Love the colors you used in this one. Another victory in my humble opinion.
Thank you Dennis… I like using just a touch of really bright colors lately. Almost a glaze technique… I have been starting with all black and white and adding on top.
