Theme Thursday - Man

Once upon a time, long, long ago, children could go to movies by themselves and enjoy the Saturday matinees for about a nickel each. My sister's favorite cowboy was Gene Autrey. Mine was Roy Rogers, whose loyal steed was Trigger. When I saw this picture of Roy and that today's challenge was an ATC using a man's image, I knew I had to use it. Other entries on this theme can be seen at Theme Thursday.

My background is an advertising postcard which I dabbed with gesso. When that dried I sprayed Moon Mists of several colors and then added the collage.

  11. Ah, those were the days. Movies were such an exciting part of life. Not so much anymore. This is a fantastic depiction of the westerns that were so popular.
