Old Gabe – February 28, 2018

I’m still in the process of clearing heads off the workbench so with this one I thought it would be a reasonable representation of the Mountain Man Jim Bridger, or Old Gabe as he was known.   Naturally, a little artistic license will be used to make the figure more interesting but that’s okay, at least I think it is.  There’s nothing wrong with making a fella better looking that he actually was.

Several months ago I bought a Mountain Man’s blanket capote and this will give me a chance to use it as a reference.  So, let’s see if he turns out as nice as I think he will.

Comments welcome as always.

I might be a little man in a big world but on our 30 acres I'm the one in charge when the wife's not around!
