Air Mail


"Air Mail"
Oil.....16 x 20....NFS

Air Mail is the herd bull of a friend of mine.  He is a retired rodeo bull
that just has to eat and play nowadays.  My friend says he's very gentle
now and you can walk up and scratch his back.  I think I will admire
him from afar.  He had so much personality in the photos.  It was a
painting just waiting to happen.  It almost painted itself.  The original is sold,
but I will have prints available soon.  Yippee Kay Ya ay!!!

Rusty Spur

Rusty Spur
Oil...8 x 10...$100
This spur ignited dreams of the old west from my
boyhood days of watching Roy Rogers, and Gene Autry.
The spur was actually found in a remote part of the
west by a fire fighter. It was given to a friend of mine,
actually the calf roper in a previous post. He showed
it to me and I knew I had to paint it. The painting is
actually much brighter than my photograph. I can
only imagine what caballero wore the spur.
