But I did not shoot the Deputy
This is another good friend that I met awhile back. His name is Gene Hartung. Gene is soon to be 72 years old. Gene lives right across the Buffalo Bill Dam from us. He happened to walk into our store/gallery awhile back and since Leigh knows exactly who I am always on the constant lookout for, she immediately asked him if he would post for me. He told her a story of how my mentor, James Bama, had asked him the same question several years ago. He agreed to pose for him and James took photos. What a shame Bama never painted him! His loss is my gain. / Last Monday, during a driving snow storm, he and I got together for my photo shoot at his log home. I actually posed him in the exact same clothes that Bama did, except for his shirt. Gene had a favorite saddle as a young cowboy. It became completely worn out and is now gone. Since the Bama shoot, Gene took up saddle-making. He wanted to make an exact copy of his saddle, and that he set out to do. He had never made a saddle before. As he worked totally from memory, he actually made four versions of the saddle until he was happy with the fourth one. He sold the other three saddles. One went to a buyer in England. He was so proud of his saddle. I just had to pose him with it!! What a thing of beauty!! One thing that I failed to mention earlier, I was painting away on the large snap on Gene’s chap pocket. If you look closely in the one close-up, you will see my silhouetted reflection as I took the reference photo. I did not realize what I painted until later on. Nothing like working yourself into a painting. Since I painted Gene, he told me a little more about what he was wearing. He said that he had not only had made his own saddle, he made his vest, his pistol holster, his chaps and lastly his bone necklace. If you look closely in one of the close-ups, you will see hanging from the small center metal concho on that necklace is a strand of horse hair. Gene owned, many, many race horses. His most favorite race horse eventually died a few years back. This is a small piece from his beloved horse “Red Eagle’s” tail. What a tribute! I am learning real fast what fine, fine people this town of Cody has living here.

The same shot as posted earlier of Sheriff Hutton castle but converted to infrared to give emphasis to the moodiness and atmosphere of the castle against the
Sheriff Shark is slightly troubled – there be crimes happening! He’ll cause JUSTICE to occur, so all is well. In the end.
Based on the campaign poster for Hunter S Thompsons run for sheriff in Aspen. A two thumbed red hand holding a peyote. Has a distressed effect I have one of these myself and it turned out spiffing I must say.

Prismacolor pencil on paper. Featured: / Texas – 8/20/09 / 60’s Glory – 9/6/09 / ‘Real’ Life Artwork – 9/18/09 This was my ‘Rodeo Art’ my senior year in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. It was Best of Show in district and got me a scholarship to the Western Art Academy (The Museum of Western Art at Kerrville, TX), a three-week long workshop for 24 students from the greater Houston area chosen for their Rodeo Art and portfolios. I met this guy at the Rockin’ R steakhouse in Blanco, Texas, while I was eating dinner with my family. By the way, if you ever go through there, you have to eat there. The fillet will be the best thing you’ve ever eaten, guaranteed (especially if you get it black n’ blue)... and that’s really saying something because I don’t even really like meat. YUM. Anyways, I had told my family I was concerned because I didn’t know what to draw for Rodeo Art… and then we saw this guy walk in along with another sheriff. My grandma suggested I go meet him and ask to take his picture… and I did. We had a print made for him and my grandparents met him and his wife for dinner (at the Rockin’ R, of course), so they’ve kept in touch a little bit. Sadly, I can’t remember his name… I’ll have to ask next time I see them.
