Just finished working on this one yesterday. The carved feather was still wet with primer so I used a real one for the photo. I tried something new this time by adding some beaded piping along the edge where the body of the shirt meets the fringe of the sleeve. Should look pretty good when…

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!
Billy Black Elk – February 11, 2018
Here’s a new one. With the walnut base he stands about 12″ tall to the tip of the feathers. I was a little worried about the colors as they were a little dark compared to other pieces but it turned out pretty nice. A lot of people ask me why I never do a smiling…
Standing Buffalo – January 15, 2018
This piece measures just at 18″ with the walnut base. I originally painted him without any facial decoration but was completely unsatisfied with the result. So after a little more research and a trip back to the paint table he became a completely new character. Frankly, with those piercing eyes it’s hard to look away…
Cold Morning Cowboy –December 28, 2017
At last a Cowboy! Brrrrr! I don’t envy this Buckaroo, having to face a day in the saddle checking the fence lines. Hopefully he had a good breakfast and is wearing his woolies cause it’s cold out there. That’s a stogie in his mouth. He should know better! This one also stands about 12″ tall…
The Generals Coat – December 6, 2017
Here’s one I finished a couple of weeks ago. Lots of color! He stands about 12″ tall with the walnut base. Hope you like him. Comments welcome.
Little Crow – October 8, 2017
I tried something a little different with this one by setting it off center so he would be looking over his shoulder. His smug look really adds a lot of interest by making you wonder just what he’s so self-righteous about. With the colors of the shield, shirt, and knife it’s really a bright piece…
Old Man of the Sage – September, 27, 2017
Here’s a new one. Seems I’m getting more realistic with each new one I complete. Not to worry though….the next one will be back in the caricature mode. The Hudson Bay blanket really sets this one off. I left the main color of the cloth natural with only some light shading for some shadow effects. …
Any Complaints – Part 2 – April 22, 2017
As I mentioned before, this is a smaller version of the one I did earlier. He stands about 10-11″ tall compared to the original which came in at around 16″. While it’s the same basic pose, the figure is different as is the apron design. I try to keep everything original if possible and for…
Any Complaints? II – April 9, 2017
It’s been quite a while since I did a Chuckwagon Cook so I thought I would do another of this character but on a smaller scale. As I mentioned earlier, I’m getting over a bad case of artist block so I guess you could say I’m easing back into it. This Cookie stands about 12″…
White Antelope – September 18, 2017
First, I’ve changed his name. I was originally planning to add a dusting of snow to the figure but it looked so good once painted I decided to leave it snow-free. I hope you approve of my decision. Comments always welcome.
