Saturday Night Shootup

Saturday Night Shootup

Woah!  Digging way back in the photo box I found this one from 1979.  This was my first attempt at carving a horse and figure together.  I was surprised that it worked out so well.  I will admit that I borrowed the action of the horse pose from the sculptor Harry Jackson’s bronze “Pony Express”.  Judy and I had just recently had the honor to be invited to a tour of Jackson’s studio in Cody, Wyoming.  I’ve attached a photo of that piece below.

Comments welcome.
