Happy New Year! Well, not only did Quint get a coat of paint he also got a new name.   I’ll admit I took a little liberty with the name as E.C. “Teddy  Blue” Abbott was a good friend and rode with painter Charles Russell and wrote the book “We Pointed Them North”, about the…

Here’s another that’s been setting on the bench for quite a while.  Except for the completion of the lance and the addition of some feathers  he’s complete.  Unfortunately, him and Quint seem to have developed an attachment and just can’t bring themselves to migrate over to the paint area.
