Farmer Boy (horse sled)
$7,000.00
Farmer Boy (horse sled) by guild member Brian Melton. On display at the Beautiful Mystery Focus Gallery located at the Folk Art Center, NC.
Almonzo had three wishes: a red sled, a colt of his own, and a full belly. This kills two of those birds with one stone. I’ve got to let go of the grudge I hold against; literary historians, but I’ll just pretend that maybe he lived what he hoped for after all. Either way, I want my son to know that his dad loves him. I don’t know that I want to put it on the hill in front of mom and dad’s little white home. That sink hole at the bottom is a bear, and the cow pies are rocks when frozen solid. My family says it’s too pretty to use; either way, I want my son to know that his dad loves him. He may only be two, and maybe it will fade, but horses are the best, and we never get tired of Peter’s adventures as he embraces the walk to grandma’s in “Snowy Day”. Maybe this will make two of his dreams come true: a horse of his own and day in the snow (riding a different style of saucer); either way, I want my son to know that his daddy loves him.
Merry Christmas.
