Here is the story of the painting, according to Andy himself: 

"On April Fools Day, 1878, Billy the Kid and six other Regulators ambushed Sheriff William Brady and his deputies on the main street in Lincoln, New Mexico. Brady and Deputy George Hindman were killed. The Regulators shot from behind the adobe, corral wall of John Tunstall's store. Bill and Big Jim French were both wounded by gunfire from the remaining deputies when they briefly emerged to check the bodies. The Regulators extricated themselves by charging out of the corral and riding away along the Bonito River."

The auction will consist of 308 different works of art including, Indians, cowboys and horses, landscape and farming and agriculture, just to name a few. You can check out all the different artwork at here. So many talented artists will be featured in this auction! There will be plenty of variety for every art collector.

Do you have a favorite piece of Andy's you'd love to buy at a discounted price? Such as one of Andy's political pieces like Callin' the Red, Callin' the Blue or Grand Ol' Gang? or maybe a good western or historical reproduction for instance, American Storytellers, Russell Paints a Masterpiece or one of his many Civil War pieces? If so, you're going to love this limited time promotion the website is running.

Grand Ol' Gang

The website is running a wonderful promotion on eGift Certificates. For every $80 eGift Certificate you purchase, you'll receive an added bonus--$20 extra, free!! Certificates will be limited to three per customer. That's up to $60 in free money to spend at andythomas.com. The eGift must be purchased in the 'Sale' category in order to be eligible for the $20 bonus.

Here's how it works, once you purchase your $80 eGift, you'll automatically receive an e-mail with a gift certificate code for the $80. Then, up to 24 hours after your purchase, we will e-mail an additional code valued at $20. You can combine as many eGift codes as you'd like at checkout, so don't be discouraged! While this is one of the best promotions you will see on the site, it does have one slight downfall if you're purchasing one for a gift. The expiration on the codes are only valid for 60 days from issue date.

If a friend or family member that's a fan of Andy's has a birthday coming up, here's your opportunity to get them something truly special at a low price. Or maybe you just want a bargain on one of Andy's pieces for yourself? Whatever the case may be, this is a wonderful promotion that won't last long. It may be gone tomorrow, so take advantage now! If you're looking to buy a large piece that's over $300 this is a great way to save $60.

Food for thought, maybe you have a birthday or special event coming up and you and that special person are both art collectors-- you can always give them the free $20 and buy yourself something with the $80 or vice versa. Or if you know their favorite print, apply it towards the price and get a nice bargain, they'll never know! The possibilities are endless. The West in Action makes a great gift for an art collector!
