Left Eye - Original Oil Painting

This piece captures “Anna,” as the locals call her, an ex-dancehall madame turned whiskey-bootlegger. She spent years running from the law before washing up in the Nyack after being kidnapped from the dancehall in which she worked. She had lots of friends, and lots of enemies. Jealousy couldn’t leave her alone. Love triangles and conflict from and within her profession forced her into hiding. She became a whisky baronness, dropping crates of whisky via wooden row boat, at drops along the river/rail.

A chance encounter with our protagonist wins her loyalty, providing life-support when things go south.

Buy this piece of the Cazador del Oso story, crafted to exist alongside the music and film.
