Artist Chris Navarro depicts a bear scratching his back on a tree, on oak base. Measures 14"x 10". A "Buffalo Bill Quick Draw" Sculpture that took 3-5 hours. A sculptor of cowboy rodeo figures, plains Indians, and wildlife as well as other images of the West, Chris Navarro had first-hand experience with his subject matter when he was a rodeo competitor at Casper College in Wyoming. He has remained a resident of Casper but in 1999, opened a gallery in Taos, New Mexico. Of his work, he writes in his book, Chasing the Wind, 'The greatest gift a person has to offer the world is the work he creates and the effort he puts into it'. One of his best known works is the Lane Frost Memorial, a fifteen-foot sculpture of a bull rider in Frontier Park in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Many of his works are large scale including Spirit of the Thunderbird, a 15-foot high sculpture at Casper College and Twenty Chance of Flurries, also 15 feet in height, at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.
