too wet to plow

 

Great gallery talk today by sculptor Garland Weeks.  He discussed his works like "To Wet to Plow" seen here.  The "Balance of Nature" series depicts life and death through bronze skulls and indigenous animals.  His emphasis on design and composition is also applicable to photographers.  See these sculptures by a native Texan, represented across nationwide, through February 12 at the Buddy Holly Center.

Around here, crisp chambry shirts. creased jeans, boots and hats are not fashion statements but rather a way of life.  That does not mean that cowboys don't accessorize, but jewelry tends to be utilitarian more than ornamental.  For example, this professional rodeo cowboy turned professional sculptor proudly wears the National Sculpture Society pin proclaiming his status as Elected Fellow.  The pocket watch is for telling time and its accompanying fob of an Egyptian scarab is for good luck.
