Even the cold of winter does not allow for relaxation before a warm fire. Wrapped in his buffalo cape, he watches, ever vigilant. A 8 inch bust mounted on walnut beryl, this piece shivers with the cold
of the winter. The soft buffalo cape and the Indian-made fringed
& paint, buckskin gun case contrast with the hardness of a man who
must be vigilant to be alive.

| Bearskin
With winter is hard and cold, I am sure glad I skin me a b'ar and got this here b'arskin to keep me warm. A personal favorite of mine, this figures is only 4 inches tall. But the details of his clothing, gun case and right down to his face and beard speak for themselves. One of my goals is to make art that is not only top quality, but is affordable and available to everyone. Art should not be simply enjoyed by people of great means, but by everyone. SOLD |

The Scot
This Highland Chief stands defiant and ready to do battle for Clan or Honor. My own highland heritage comes out in this piece from Jacobite Bonnet
to the basket hilt sword. The details for the dirk, sporran and all
steel pistol speak of the historical accuracy. The intricate details
of the Ancient tartan of the Ancient Clan Mac Neil speaks of a heritage and a reverence
for a way of life long gone.
