Mike Taylor Bust

Linda and I have admired Mike Taylor's artistic work ever since meeting him at Mansker's Trade Fair a number of years ago. One thing that always caught our eye was the wooden busts that he carved and painted. The photos in this format just don't capture the intensity of the art that you see in person. Nonetheless, it's still impressive.

Mike came down to Mansker's from his home in Cincinnati for several years. I bought this one for Linda from him at the CLA Show about three years ago. We have always intended to "dress him out" in trade silver, but have somehow not gotten around to it.
