Ouch!!! I had this guy all done except for the hat and the texturing of the upper part of the robe....then I fell off the horse. He'd been setting down there on the workbench watching me each time I stuck my head in the door no doubt wondering when I was going to get up the courage to whittle out his Stovepipe. After some assurance from the surgeon and a couple of Percocet I managed to do it but believe me it was no fun. The phrase "No Pain, No Gain!" has taken on a literal meaning.

I think this one will be a really nice piece once he's painted and mounted. He will be standing in the snow with a dusting of the white stuff on his hat and shoulders. As you probably know I've done this type of figure before. The robe designs along with all the other bright and crisp colors really make a stunning piece.

Lots of photos in the Gallery and your comments are always welcome. Oh.....and I had no trouble coming up with the title of this piece!
Lynn,thats wonderful,great,stupendous,even with a small amount of pain. Can't get a good cowboy down for long. Glad to hear your up for therapy,Arnie
ReplyDeleteGeez Lynn, I see absolutely no difference in the quality of your work even with the bum hand. I really like the Indians and this one has a neat look to it that really looks as if his arms are crossed. Great stuff! Happy to see you back doing what you love...don't push it though. We are relatively impatient.

He's absolutely great Lynn. Fantastic job. Can't wait to see him with a coat of paint.
