Pyrography on Pine, 7 x 7

This wood burning represents, in a way, the end of the road for Cowboy Country TV. We were working on the seventh season and there were strong signs that the show wouldn’t be back (due to network restructuring, not popularity; broadcast TV can be weird that way). I’d already done some pyrography for promo items and thought I’d make a thank you for the show’s creator, Dean Langille.

Togo was Dean’s Horse. He had a picture on the wall. I never got to meet Togo, but the photo showed a spark in the eye that I wanted to capture. The finished woodburning went over well and represents a memorial to the animal and the series that was a wonderful ride.
