Nellie Brown. African American cowgirl. c.1880s
Colorized Nellie Brown photo used for cover the book "Brave Hearted" by Katie Hickman
The Dramatic Story of Women of the American West.
"‘Myth and misunderstanding spring from the American frontier as readily as rye grass from sod, and – like the wiry grass – seem as difficult to weed out and discard’, but the true-life story of women’s experiences in the ‘Wild West’ is more gripping, more heart-rending and more stirring than all the movies, novels, folk-legends and ballads of popular imagination."
And one more:
Nellie Brown by Cecile W. Morgan
"This is another painting in my Memories series. I love finding antique black and white photos that reflect the era they are from. Especially I am drawn to the vintage western genre photos. They give me a glimpse of the actual west from a hundred years ago. This is the Black cowgirl, Nellie Brown. Little is known about her, except for the photograph that inspires this painting. She had a gritty, no-nonsense air. I imagine there wasn't much this cowgirl couldn't accomplish on her own.
Even though cowboys of color comprised about 25% of the old west cowboy population, there are very few old images from that era of those cowboys, not to mention cowgirls! I am always digging for those old photos to inspire my art."

2008. This particular photo represents some of the best times of having posters on my wall. The magazines still had a variety of full page quality photos of artists I cared about. I didn't have to solely depend on my printer and images I found online.
