Texas horned toad bronze sculpture, Horned Victory

Horned Victory
bronze on granite
9 x 4 x 3.5

     This is a new version of my Horned Pride sculpture. I individually sculpt each rose and  have it cast and attached to the horned toad sculpture. Thus, each new sculpture is a unique piece. I call this new sculpture Horned Victory. This sculpture commemorates TCU's 2011 Rose Bowl Victory. This sculpture is only available at The Varsity at 3515 Bluebonnet Circle, in Fort Worth.
     I have been doing quite a bit of sculpting this week in my studio. First I have been working on the roses for Horned Victory and second on the longhorn cow and calf that I  began over two years ago. I am very much looking forward to the completion of this sculpture. In fact I worked on it last night until after !!:00. It will be the first sculpture that has two figures on one base,

    A great store is opening here in Fort Worth called The Varsity, at 3515 Bluebonnet Circle. It will specialize in upper scale TCU merchandise and clothing. I'm going to have to get one of their TCU ties!
   They will carry my two bronze horned toad (horned frog) sculptures. I will also have horned frogs holding a rose in their mouths to commemorate TCU's Rose Bowl win last year. These should be ready in a few weeks.

Horned Frog Sculpture, Horned Pride

Horned Pride
9 x 4 x 3.5 ( not including the base)
Bronze on Granite
Edition of 100
$800
This is one of the sculptures that I will have in my shows. It's also one of my newest pieces. I'd started it several years ago. I was inspired to create it for several reasons. First, because the horned toad or"horned frog" is the mascot of TCU where I graduated in 1988, second, it is the state reptile of Texas, and finally when I was a kid I had one as a pet but sadly they are very rare today. It just seemed like this was the time to finish it, and sure enough TCU went undefeated and went on to win the Rosebowl.
