Resurgence can be a good thing. Must be hardcore left.

I am very pleased to present you my first sculpture “Tom”

Inspired by my sketches of cowboys, I wanted to start using this medium in the most simple way, which is a figure standing. The idea of it being a rancher old timer with a rifle came as I was working on it and listening to the novels of C.J Box “Joe Picket”. So many characters in these books, ranchers and cowboys from Wyoming and Montana… it all gave birth to “Tom”

We are offering “Tom” in a limited edition of 20 copies.
The bronze are all made by the prestigious foundry Adonis Bronze in Utah.
It is 17.5 inches tall.

They will be available on my website
on April 21st at 12noon MST (Denver time)
Price is $10,000.00
First come first serve of course. Make sure you are on it if you are interested cause there is only 20.

The square/rectangle and round/cake pedestal bases that are so common for sculptures are an immediate turn off for me. A name plate only makes it worse. It looks like a trophy at that point. I get that there are limited options but a base should be part of the art. This example isn't horrible since the rawhide or whatever he's standing on adds some texture to the base. But I'd rather see "Tom" on a rock or mountain slice.
Wanda: I can't stand people. I hate them. Do you hate them?
Henry: No, but I seem to feel better when they're not around.

My favorite painting of his is Vermillion Cliffs (beautiful landscape without horses and cowboys).

Hoping it becomes a print one of these days.
Tomorrow's your chance!

I wish the size wasn’t so small. I don’t do horses and cowboys either, and this image was my golden ticket. But at this size I might pass. Sigh.

Agreed. Something like 30x25 would be more ideal IMO.
