More Garden Animals

Great day here in Tahoe on Saturday.

Just heard from my wandering oldest son who is heading for Charlotte, NC to begin a new life. He is at Mt. Rushmore today. He had been living in Washington. You can follow along by checking www.rollingwaveproject.blogspot.com

Here are some more of the graden animals. If anyone has travelled through Spain, you will recognize the bull. A much larger (maybe 30') version is seen along the national highways, usually up on top of a high hill. It use to advertise brandy, but billboards were eliminated
along the highways. The populace wanted to keep the bulls as a symbol of national pride, but without any brand names on them. This is a small version I made several years ago. At times he has been buried up to his ears in snow.

Going to do some en plein aire pastels tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Hey, he (your son) is in my old stomping grounds. If he goes past an 1880 town near Kadoka, it is worth a stop see. And it's about 30 minutes south of Midland where I grew up. I'd like to be doing that road trip. Like your menagerie.
