"Buttin' Heads" The Ritual

Bison breed in the summer. Male bison compete for mating rights, butting heads with other bulls. In these competitions, male bison may also lower their heads, paw at the ground, and emit a bellow which can be heard up to three miles away. This sculpture is called "Buttin' Heads", and was completed in late September of 2024.

This sculpture is 27 inches end to end,

12 inches wide,

and 9-1/2 inches tall.

It was designed to set on a shelf in your living room or stud, or better yet, on the mantle of your fireplace. It was sculpted using a two-part epoxy, and is coated with three colors of metallic wax. The sculpture is an original work by Robert M Walker, and is one of a kind. Your Friends will be amazed!!!

The piece has been signed by the Artist, and will be displayed in various galleries over the next several months, where bids will be accepted. The "Final Bid Price" will be determined on December 15, 2024. The "Opening Bid" is $400. If you wish to place a bid, use the "Comment Block" below. You will be notified as the bidding progresses.

Sometimes, it is a better plan to keep all your varmints moving in the same direction; sometimes, not.

I Have Begun to Bronze The Sculpture

Hi Folks,

I have begun to apply "Bronzing" to the sculpture. The image above is the front and back of one of the two bison. I am using a series of colors by DecoArt, called Metallic Lustre'. The product is basically a wax, similar to shoe polish, that has been impregnated with metallic powder. I have used their "Black Shimmer" for the legs, tail, and head, "Iced Espresso" for the body, a combination of "Gold Rust" and "Iced Espresso" for the hump, and "White Frost" for the horns. I apply the colors with a stiff bristle brush, then polish it with a soft cloth. This is just the start of a long process, but it helped me establish the color pallet.

If you would like to give me your thoughts, or just follow along, "Add your Name, Email address, and a Comment (not required) below, and I will email you whenever I "Post", or respond to any questions you may have.
