Wild West with an Arty Twist ~

Don't forget that Tucson was, after all, the Wild West. Cowboys and rodeos are part of our culture and here is an arty salute to our heritage - a pick up truck's tailgate made from horse shoes! Fun and imaginative!

    I lived in Tucson the summer of 1952 in a housing development across from Davis Montham AFB. Tucson was really small with a dozen businesses downtown plus the bus station. I worked at Levy's of Tucson, in window trimming or display. Those were the days. I got a pair of squaw boots with the flap and two silver buttons to hold the shoe on.

    Recycling art, I love it!! I also think it's a not so subtle reference to the raw horsepower of this cowboy's truck!! Also, I enlarged the photo to see what was under the license plate, and I think they are three silver silhouettes of cowboys on horseback riding away and leaving the car following in the dust! Is that what you see?
