AUTUMN'S CHALLENGE

AUTUMN'S CHALLENGE by Chris Navarro - Bull elk will sound their bugle or whistle call during the rutting season. It begins with a low bellow and changes almost immediately to a high-pitched noise that can be described only as a whistle or scream. The bugle serves as a challenge to other bulls and the signal of domination over cows. Bronze, 25.5’’ x 25’’ x 10’’ $4800. Monumental Bronze, 9’ x 9.5’ x 9 ‘ $68,000. chrisnavarro.com

COLD BEANS AND A WET SADDLE

COLD BEANS AND A WET SADDLE This sculpture depicts the unglamorous side of being a cowboy. Working outside in miserable weather and pushing through to finish a job. It has been pouring cold rain all day long. The cowboy and his horse are covered with mud when they stop for a bite to eat. With no shelter from the rain, the cowboy knows it is too wet to start a fire, so he reaches into his saddlebags for a can of beans. Sitting on a rock, he makes the best of what he has. With cold beans in his belly, he’ll swing back into his wet saddle and finish the job he has set out to do. That is the cowboy way. chrisnavarro.com

‘’DOUBLE RANK’’

‘’DOUBLE RANK’’ this sculpture won the Calgary Stampede bronze trophy competition. My sculpture, along with $100,000. will be presented to the champion bull rider for the next five years at the Calgary Stampede. Bull riding has always been a big passion in my life. I rode bulls for 5 years and my son JC rode bulls professionally in the PBR. Riding bulls and creating art are similar in nature. To give your very best you must put your heart and soul into it.
