Sculpture by Roane
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Roane Deckert was born in 1939 in Eastern Montana and grew up on the high rolling plains of "Big Sky" country. Animals, wild and domestic, were part of the landscape. From earliest childhood, Roane found pencil and paper to draw these animals. Fascinated by the wide-open prairies and the lore of the West, Roane spent countless hours drawing horses, cattle and cowboys. Charlie Russell was his idol in those days. Born of German stock, who had been skilled with their hands as carpenters and blacksmiths for generations, Roane discovered woodcarving when his parents gave him a pocketknife at age 7. However, fine art was an unknown to him and his wheat-farming parents. The grandson of people who settled the open prairie, he was the first in his family to go to either high school or college.
