WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

I try to tell a story with my art and I want to share some of the stories behind the sculptures I have created. chrisnavarro.com
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND Bronze, 25” x 24” x 9
Roping is my favorite pastime. I use a well-known saying to depict what every cowboy knows from experience: “What goes around comes around.” This cowboy is roping a rangy, crossbred, banana horn bull that has gotten in with his cows. The bull is fighting the rope and coming around the trunk of a tree, heading straight for the horse and cowboy. With his saddle starting to slip, he must decide whether to hold his dailies or let go. Either way, there's going to be a big wreck!
