About the Latest Designs...
“Bright Mornin’”
A playful colt dances across
this rustic pine table, trimmed with handmade deerskin corner caps. The man and
his lady are dressed up, him in round toe boots, and her in dazzlingly high
heels. Signed by the artist.
“Spirit”
What a joy to be near a
horse like the one painted in bold, free strokes across this rustic pine table,
spirited and filled with joie de vie. The table top is trimmed with hand-made
deerskin corner caps. The cowboy’s wearing his old peanut brittle anteater
boots that will just never seem to wear out. The lady’s low-rise scalloped tops
look as good as they feel. Signed by the artist.
“We Walked”
The table of hiking
memories. Oak leaves and a faithful dog’s paw prints adorn the table, along
with an old photo of a parent and child disappearing into the distance on a
long wilderness walk with their pets. Completed with “Bean-style” boots and a
walnut frame. The poem reads:
“We walked hand in hand, and a faithful, wagging friend
At our side with room to roam,
An endless path to the wilds of nowhere, and nothing calling
us back
But the welcoming hands of home.”
Signed
by the artist. Approx. 21” x 31” x 19” tall.
“Let’s Get Those Boots Dirty”
Are
they going to build a fence, work a horse, or go dancin’? The cowboy’s grey
lizard boots are weathered and worn, and they lady’s are white and brand new. They
gotta do something to break ‘em in. The table top is ranch house rustic pine.
Signed
by the artist. Approx. 21” x 31” x 19 tall. Some assembly required.
“Joshua 24”
He’s a little bow-legged and she’s a little pigeon-toed,
but they agree their spread will be run according to Joshua 24:15. He’s wearing
a soft-as-butter pair of grey Dan Post boots and hers are black lizard, still
shiny, but they’ve been around the corral a time or two. The table top is ranch
rustic pine, with a 3” rustic skirt, and featuring the “ranch version” of the scripture
hand-written in an artistic script.
Signed by the artist. Approx. 18” x 34” x 21” tall.
Simple assembly required.
