Cripple Creek Painting

Hi,

I got the profession digital pic back on Cripple Creek (Click to enlarge).

I'll have copies (or the original available next week). Please email me at richiematt@aol.com if you're interested.

Here are the painting lyrics:

Cripple Creek

I've got a gal and she loves me,
She's as sweet as she can be.
She's got eyes of baby blue,
Makes my gun shoot straight and true.

Goin’ up Cripple Creek, goin’ in a whirl,
Goin’ up Cripple Creek, to see my girl.
Goin' up Cripple Creek goin' in a run,
Goin' up Cripple Creek to have some fun.

My gal lives at the head of the creek,
I go up to see her ‘bout twice a week.
She’s got kisses sweet as any wine,
Wraps herself ‘round me like a sweet pertater vine.

Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep,
I'll wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep.
Roll my britches to my knees,
I'll wade old Cripple Creek when I please.

Cripple Creek: Rough Pics

Hi,

I finished my painting of Cripple Creek last night. Here are some rough pics I shot with my camera (click to enlarge). I thought the painting would be easy but it wasn't. I had to include a banjo picker and singer in the background yet not disturb the main scene. I'll have some good pics in a few weeks that really show the colors. Hope you like it.

The main scene above features, "Goin' up to Cripple Creek Goin' in whirl, Goin' up to Cripple Creek to see my girl." The other verse is, "Roll my britches to my knees, I'll wade ol' Cripple Creek when I please."
