New Name for the Boot

"Desert Caballerous Roses"

What a wonderful  journey. A collaborative effort with my husband Roger Kull. He is an incredible leather artist and my best friend. Roger created the leather strap on the spurs and boot loops and helped with the design.  Fantastic job!   We are excited for the auction on Saturday evening.

It is a beautiful boot.  The photos do not do it justice.  We are excited to see it at the auction at Cowgirl Up! The Other Half of the West Show on Saturday evening.  If you have not got your tickets, get them now!  There is lots of art, artists and fun and food!

Moving Right Along!

The BOOT is really starting to take shape and move.

 I am so honored to have been asked to do this for the Cowgirl Up! Show

Desert Caballerous Museum, Wickenburg, Arizona

An artist knows when a piece is strong and will be stunning, 

this is one of those extraordinary pieces of art.  

This is an fun and unique experience. 

The final showing and auction will take place Saturday the 19th of March 

at the Desert Caballerous Museum, Wickenburg, Arizona

Cowgirl Up! Auction at the evening auction with the famous auctioneer, Carson Thomas.  

Everyone, get your tickets and come on out!!!

Beads are being applied, this is slow!  

As most understand with my work, the bead work takes longer, this was no exception. 

The bead work is where I
 want it and the colors are in the early layers.  

This is turning out to be a beauty!

The Boot! Really.

Linen, canvas, masonite or copper, this is selected types of material I am used to painting on, however I was asked by Cowgirl Up! curator, Mary Ann Igna and Cowgirl Up! Chairwoman, Elaine Schweitzer, to paint a 47 inch high, 42 inch long  fiberglass boot for the 2016 Cowgirl Up! Auction March 19, 2016.  How could I refuse.  Yes!!  How exciting! 

Several years ago, I saw a life size horse and wanted to paint it...did not get to pursue the life size horse, Shucks.  But I got a BOOT!

Each day I will post to Facebook, Twitter, my website, www.judydurr.50megs.com,  and my blog the progress.  www.judydurr.50megs.com
