Originally published in 2011. I can’t say whether he’s looking at the 4 legged filly in the round pen or the 2 legged one setting on the fence. Whichever, by the look on his face I think he approves of what he sees! For a while I had my doubts about the paint job on…

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!
Buffalo Soldier
Originally published in 2011. Well, here he is. I think you’ll agree that this turned out to be a pretty impressive piece, at least I hope you do. It sure has seemed a long and involved one with lots of hurdles to jump but I think we did okay. There are a few things that…
Man of the Mountains
Originally published in 2011 Here’s the latest. Started painting him this afternoon and I think he’s going to be a real winner. Dressed in a Racoon hat and a red capote made from a Hudson Bay trade blanket and smoking a clay pipe. Large too…around 14″ with the walnut base. I really like working in…
White Eagle
Originally published in 2012 Here’s a new bust I’ve been working on while the paints drying on Iron Eagle. I like doing this little busts as they are certainly easier than a full figure but the best thing is that they sell quite quickly. This one turned out really nice. The contrasting colors and texture…
Winter Warrior
Originally published in 2012 I think this one will start off 2012 in the right direction. I really like the contrast between the colors and Judy says he looks cold so as far as I’m concerned he’s a success. It took a lot of splattering with a toothbrush to get the effect I was after…
The Fireman
Originally published in 2012 I want to thank you for all the really neat ideas and suggestions for the next video series. I think I’ve got one that you’ll approve of and that will make one of the niftiest carvings we’ve done yet. We’re going to do a bust of a Fireman. My good friend…
Lizzie Bear Foot
Originally published in 2011 Here is one I wanted to get finished but not painted before the Dayton show so I could hopefully pick up some tips on making realistic fur. Jim Willis will be there and he is one of the best at carving animals and has agreed to help me out. Really looking…
A Cowboy Pony
Originally published in 2011 Here is a pony I just wrapped up today. After Dayton he’s headed to Indiana to help herd any bovines in the area. While I had a choice of the type of coloring to use I really like the coloring of a Buckskin so that’s what he is. Matt Dillon rode…
Muy Caliente
Originally Published in 2011 Finally received the nameplate so here are some photos of the figure. There is one change that I added after they were taken and that is a gold earring. I made it out of some heavy aluminum electrical wire and painted it gold. Then drilled a matching hole in his left…
Running Buffalo
Originally published in 2011 I thought this one this one might have to wait till the Dayton show but I wrapped him up this morning so will take him along to the OKC show. He turned out pretty good. I had my doubts for a while as I had originally planned on him holding a…
