The Trailboss - Bronze scupture

This head is about 3.5" tall. I did the original in clay and had a mould made. About 50 castings were sold. They were not numbered, just signed, MYERS. I am thinking of revising him with a bit more mass in clothing and scarf...and doing a new numbered edition mounted on a wood base.

The Camp Wrangler

Watercolor - 10.5" x 14.5" on Arches 140lb paper.

I went into the Rockies on horseback many times. This was an exceptionally cold day. Rain, fog and everything was wet. I mean everything. Most of us had our boots and socks drying on sticks on the other side of this fire. This was our camp wrangler. He had earned a break by the fire with some good old camp coffee. Strong but welcome. He had just finished seeing to our horses, all was well, and we were beginning to tell some lies around the fire.

Watercolor detail

For you watercolor students/enthusiasts/patrons, here is a detail study (from the same painting) showing some brush-work and the beautiful texture achieved with the paper. The transparency of the paint is evident here. I have said it before ~ the quality of materials used is worth the extra cost. I am using Winsor & Newton tube pigments, Kolinsky red sable brushes (from England) and fine French Arches paper. I have use a limited amount of opaque pigment for some details, but very sparingly.
