Though I saw many of these in Scotland, this particular guy belonged to a friend in Washington State, Gil. Gil was quite a character, originally from Portugal, he led a very interesting and adventurous life and had many momentos in his house to show you with a story to go with each one. An artist in his own right, he did big huge carvings of Sturgeon. I really wish I'd had the chance to do his portrait but he has since passed on so that opportunity is lost. I'll have to celebrate my remembrance of him by painting his cattle.
