Three's
a Crowd by John Bennett
bronze - limited edition of 40
The longhorn has turned from hunted to hunter to appease his
bad attitude. The cowboy has lost his rope and now depends
on his quirt to help calm down the steer, although a hard
whack on the head just might make him madder'n hell. |

Tex by John Bennett
bronze - limited edition of 40
Breaking an ornery cayuse too close to cactus, Tex shows
off his name in studs on his chaps. He spent his wages from
the last trail drive on a new custom saddle. He is 17 years
old and a seasoned veteran. Many cowboys were just that...

The tall, rangy horse is from an actual photograph of Jake,
2-time Bucking Horse of the Year, 1960 and 65. The trainer

his face from us, the onlookers. He's got his mind on business
and his eye on the horse.

The Indian hunter is strung like a bow and waiting
for the buffalo harvest. The Buffalo are emerging from relief
to full view and the maple wood pedestal is angled to imply
perspective downward. The patina
is silver nitrate and adds to the wild look.
