I have posted many pictures of artistic statues that I have taken in this fair city: Native Americans because of their historical significance in this part of the country, animals of all species, and even naked/nude women exhibited in galleries on Canyon Road. But what could be more representative of the American Southwest than the ubiquitous cowboy! So here he is!
Great choice, instantly came to my mind at least 5 westerns. The sculpture look almost alive! Get well soon.
ReplyDeleteHe looks familiar, like a film actor but I can't think...
ReplyDeleteEven up here in the Northeast... always have been enthralled by the iconic cowboy lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how the details on some statues really stand out.
ReplyDeleteMy blog is here Barb's Blog Hope you can take a look. Happy theme day!
Nice choice for the theme day! I forgot all about it. :(
ReplyDeleteI love this. But then I love cowboys and bronzes.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice, Kate!
ReplyDeleteHe looks very pensive. He is worrying about more than where is the next cow to brand.
ReplyDeleteVery life like. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there is a certain familiarity about him...maybe a mix of Steve McQueen and Ronnie Reagan...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's a very cool statue and a great theme day post!
Kate, just wanted to tell you that, although I might not always leave a comment, I love all your photos every day.
ReplyDeleteI've been having problems with a spammer/stalker (don't even know what to call such a mean person) over on my blog and have had to make it private and accessible only to those I've invited. The problem with that is that I don't have email addresses for many of my blogger friends (like you) that visit my blog.
So, be patient with me. When I get up my courage to deal once again with these meanies, I'll go public again--maybe in a week or two.
Now we need the Indian
ReplyDeleteLove the statue--love the cowboy. Lost mine a few years ago looking for another. LOL
