Every piece of my art has a unique story. For example,<br />
each mirror used on my bar scenes is a rearview mirror<br />
from a scrapped car or truck. My chuck wagon base is<br />
the bottom of an old broken rototiller. Recently I created<br />
a steampunk bug with ball bearings I had received<br />
when we replaced a steel ball mill in a gold mine. The<br />
ball bearings start out 8 inches in diameter and they roll<br />
around and crush up ore to extract the gold. By the<br />
time I got them, they had been worn down to about an<br />
inch across. I saw those and thought they would make<br />
great eyes.<br />
I’m really excited about a trio art piece I’m working on<br />
right <strong>no</strong>w. I’ve got a cattle drive scene. I’ve got a chuck<br />
wagon, and I’m in the process of designing the campfire<br />
scene. After driving the cattle all day, there’s <strong>no</strong>thing<br />
more a cowboy wants than to take a load off and<br />
grab a cup of coffee around fire. I’ve already decided<br />
how to make the fire. I have some discarded copper<br />
plating which I will melt down and then beat back up<br />
into flames.<br />
Even though I’m retired from day to day ranching, I still<br />
get to play cowboy occasionally. Twice a year I head to<br />
Colorado. I help drive my son’s high-altitude grass-fed<br />
cattle up onto their mountain grazing lands in the spring<br />
and back down in the fall. Driving the cattle among the<br />
aspen trees inspires this old cowboy to come home<br />
and preserve that vanishing way of life through lasting<br />
sculptures.<br />
