Wire Horse III copyright 2010 by Dave Putnam

For this painting I orginally channeled cave artists in southern Europe circa 50,000 BC. I then needed to jump forward in time to 1995 and across the Atlantic to California to channel an earlier version of myself to complete the "wire horse" part of the painting. I didn't quite make it. I wound up in the 1800s and in the central plains of the American continent where I ended up channeling plains Indians who were raising war horses for their upcoming tangle with the US Army.
