Last year a little girl in a classroom in Missouri was given an assignment to write a letter to someone she considered famous.

When I received the letter, I wrote her and included "I DON'T DO WINDOWS", a poster from my American Woman Series.    She wrote me a descriptive thank you letter.   In the letter,  she said " I'm most times a tomboy...some a girl".  I thought, "Now that would make a great title for a painting!",  then I promptly forgot.

This spring I visited my friend Ron, on a ranch in southern Montana. They were receiving cattle for there summer range.  In the late afternoon as we worked shoeing the horses, I spotted Ron's daughter sneaking though the barn, hiding behind the door to spy on us.  That is the moment my search for new Cowboy material ended and "Most Times A Tomboy...Some A Girl" popped into my head.
