I want one too! Where can one get a decent print?

I wonder if anyone has noticed the remarkable resemblance to the picture of Jack up on
Brokeback when he was removing the thorn from the foot of the ewe. It is almost the same
position that shows him in the mural. He is holding the sheep in the exact position, but he is
assisting the mothers feeding a lamb in the mural. It has to be more than a coincidence.

This was a special print created by EDelMar and framed by Offline Chuck just for the people who came to the Wyoming Roundup last summer. It took many hours of work to produce the print, because the actual mural hangs at ceiling level in the post office and has a chandelier hanging in front of it. So several views had to be straightened and then pieced together. I don't know of any other copies in existence. You'd think the postal service would issue a stamp, or at least a post card.
The frame was also challenging because it is an odd-size print. Chuck cut the glass himself, stained the wood to match the mural, and cut, nailed, and glued the frames. Those frames would probably be just fine even after a tornado took your house away!

That's good to know! ;D So whenever a tornado hits my house, I'll duck and cover under the picture ;).
Seriously: I cherish it very much. I'm sure we all do!
