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. …

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…

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″…

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.

I forgot to post the piece once it was painted so here it is.  I think it really turned out nice and will make a nice addition to someone’s collection.   Funny…looking at it I actually feel a little sympathy for him as he’s not aware of white lies ahead. I hope you like him…

Here’s my latest, just off the table this morning.  To reflect the title he will have just a light dusting of snow.  I copied the base idea off of some bronze busts done by Dave McGary.  As the anchor for the carving is off center this type of base does it in a real clever…

This weekend the fiber optic installation crew finally showed up to complete one of the last steps toward our installation.  That little black box up there on our power pole is the line coming in.  The last step in the process is to have it run from the pole into the house which should happen…

With the easy part of the painting applied and the shirts, hat and knife sheaf beading areas primed, it’s time to start doing some research on the type of beaded patterns to use.  The areas might appear a little stark in the photo but the end result will be balanced by choosing colors that will…

It took a lot of hard work by a lot of people but the Chuckwagon is finally in it’s new home at the Woolaroc Museum.  All that’s left now is to turn that empty corner in the Museum into a fleshed out piece of the Old West.  In just a month or so visitors will…

As I mentioned in the last post, we’re working on a Big Project that will come together toward the end or middle of February.  As part of that I had to build a new display stand, which for an amateur furniture maker, is no mean feat.  But, with Judy as my trusty assistant, we managed to…
