Spurs and memories.


24" x 36" acrylic on canvas. Private collection. These spurs were worn by my late friend, Larry Bownds, of the Chimney Creek Ranch. This painting was my homage to him and to my memories of those days, when we rode horses, ranch roads and highways, together. The leathers were made by another close friend, Bob West, of Spur, Texas, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot. Bob also made a couple of pairs of custom leggings for me. Maybe I can post a pic of those later. RIP, my friends.
