THE ANIMALS OF BIG BEND IN BRONZE
These beautiful pieces have been commissioned by the Friends of Big Bend National Park and are offered for sale to raise funds for projects that support and enhance the Park — Texas’ great natural treasure.
BIG BEND’S WILDLIFE
Big Bend National Park - the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert - is home to a wide array of bird and animal life. Black bears and mountain lions share its rugged terrain with mule deer, javelina, coyote, peregrine falcon, and golden eagle. Desert big horn sheep roam its eastern mountains and pronghorn antelope graze its northern flats. Small mammals, reptiles and amphibians are common and its bird life is a fascinating bounty of eastern, western and Mexican species.
Each piece is a ‘desk top size’ wildlife sculpture cast in silicon bronze, signed, numbered and issued in a limited edition of 100 copies. Bases are latigo leather. New wildlife subjects will be added to the series as sculpted. Prices are affordable to allow easy collection of the series.
