MÓDULO III

 Here is a new painting 24 x 36 oil on canvas. In April of 1846 Colonel Truman Cross , Assistant Quartermaster General of Taylor's Army was out riding alone near Brownsville, Texas when he was ambushed and killed by Mexican Guerillas armed with lances. He was the first American officer killed in the Mexican-American War. This was commissioned by a descendant of Colonel Cross. Researching the Mexican dress was a lot of fun and I had the great Guerilla glazed hat in the Connecticut Historical Society copied to pose the models in.
