A couple of small studies sitting on my easel. I have dragged this old skeleton around the country for many years. Notice the brand burned in the upper right? That is the 7V ranch brand from when I lived in the bunkhouse at the Chimney Creek Ranch in West Texas. That story could fill volumes. I heated the iron in a mesquite fire in the bunkhouse hearth and burned it on the easel for memory's sake. If that easel could talk!?...it might say some things you wouldn't want to hear.
