About The Artwork

[first lines] Johnny: Major, I sure do hate to face all them people. Major Charles Rane: Then put your glasses on, John. Linda Forchet: Why do I always get stuck with crazy men? Major Charles Rane: 'Cause that's the only kind that's left. Major Charles Rane: You learn to love the rope. That's how you beat 'em. That's how you beat people who torture you. You learn to love 'em. Then they don't know you're beatin' ‘em. Linda Forchet: You got yourself a groupie major. Major Charles Rane: What's a groupie? That word's a little after my time. Linda Forchet: Well a groupie is a girl who falls in love with a rock star or a movie star, somebody she doesn't know. Worships him... knows she's never gonna meet him but, uh, if she ever does she'll do anything for him. Anything... she can. Mark Rane: Why's he staying out in the wood shed? Janet: Just 'cause it's small and quiet out there. Linda Forchet: My dad was an Army Major, still is. Major Charles Rane: He teach you how to shoot? Linda Forchet: And ride. He wanted a son, but he got three daughters... well, two daughters, and a tomboy. I'm the black sheep. Major Charles Rane: [to his son] You don't remember me, do you. Candy: What the fuck are you doing? Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people. Linda Forchet: Man, I have had it with lying men, Charlie. The ones who say one thing and do another. The ones that always let you down. Are you gonna let me down? Major Charles Rane: Depends on what you're lookin' for. Major Charles Rane: I had everything worked out but nothing's gone the way I planned. Cliff: I wanna get my hands on those murdering bastards. Major Charles Rane: That'll pass Cliff, everything passes. Linda Forchet: You're the strong silent type, aren't you? Major Charles Rane: Nah, I'm just a little rusty on my smalltalk. Major Charles Rane: I found them. Johnny: Who? Major Charles Rane: The men who killed my son. Johnny: I'll just get my gear. Major Charles Rane: They're in a whorehouse over in Juarez right now. There's the four that came into my home, and there's eight or ten others. Johnny: Let's go clean em' up. from ‘Rolling Thunder’ (1977) Starring William Devane (The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training), Dabney Coleman (Grodin’s Clifford), Linda Haynes (Coffy), Luke Askew (Cool Hand Luke), James Best (The Twilight Zone), and Tommy Lee Jones (Batman Forever). Written by Paul Schrader (The Last Temptation of Christ) and Heywood Gould (The Boys from Brazil). Directed by John Flynn (Out for Justice). Rolling Thunder is a 1977 American neo-noir action thriller directed by John Flynn, produced by Norman T. Herman, and written by Paul Schrader and Heywood Gould, based on a story by Schrader. The film stars William Devane in the lead role alongside Tommy Lee Jones, Linda Haynes, James Best, Dabney Coleman, and Luke Askew in supporting roles. Rolling Thunder was released on October 7, 1977 in United States and it was also released in more 7 countries. Upon release, the film received generally positive reviews from critics. The film received praise for its action sequences, atmosphere, direction, music, and cast performances. However, it was criticized for its pace and violent climax. In addition to its critical success, the film was also a box office success with an estimated revenue of $130 million against its $5 million production budget. The film was originally written in 1973 for AIP, where Larry Gordon was head of production. Gordon took the script with him when he left for Columbia, and for a time Schrader was going to direct. However that fell through and the film was set up at 20th Century Fox. John Milius said Schrader wrote the movie for Milius to direct but Milius turned it down. "I didn’t think I wanted to do something that dark at the time...Boy it was a good script, with wonderful stuff in it. Paul at his best." Schrader's script was rewritten by Heywood Gould. It starred William Devane who John Flynn says "back then they were priming ... [him] to be a big film star." The movie was shot in San Antonio, Texas in 31 days. Flynn: We knew we were doing something fairly bold. The producer, Lawrence Gordon, told me to shoot the garbage disposal scene like open-heart surgery, make it as bloody as I possibly could. So I did. When we submitted Rolling Thunder to the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) for a rating, we expected deep cuts, but the censors passed uncut one of the most violent movies in the history of film. Rolling Thunder was given an R rating! Source: Wikipedia

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
