Life Sized Cowboy Sculpture

Useppa Island Historical Society

has just opened there newest exhibit,

"The Florida Cowboy".

Featuring the works of

Carleton Ward Jr. 

and Cowboy memorabilia.

The saddle above is from the 1800's.

The live size cowboy was a collaboration

of three artists Rona Stage, Pat Hagle,

and ginny Taylor.

This is how our

Florida Cowboy came to life.

Pat constructed the skeleton.

While Rona and I printed

the face and sculpted the head 

and body.

Every Cowboy

 needs a pair of jeans.

Arms were formed and

eyebrows and hair were added.

Griffin was almost finished.

He just need a little tweaking

before opening day.

A shirt change

eye enhancement and

 a little color around his neck.

Time for the opening of the

 Florida Cowboy Exhibit.

Yee Haw!
