Folk Art was very popular in the 1980's---especially in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

In order to fill his many orders at the famous Doodlett's shop my craftsman friend,
Ed Sprinkle, employed me to help him cut "Tin." *          

Simple, primitive, iconic shapes were designed
and produced as quickly as possible.

Whenever he caught me embellishing a design,
he would remind me that extra detail was not practical, or profitable.

Time has proven him right.        
      
I did keep it simple for a while, making weathervanes and small standing pieces.
          
             But brown was boring, and COLOR---inevitable.                    
                   *Actually the metal used is steel. "Tin" is a metallic coating applied to steel to retard oxidation.
