About the Piece: This sculpture is of bass wood which is a soft and clear grained wood. It is not painted as the artist prefers to show the wood as it really is. “Gitty Up!”

About the Artist: Art Vinall was inspired by a carving he saw at the county fair when he was 10 years old. Since then, he has carved everything imaginable including three carousel horses. Art has also painted most of his life in all mediums and recently painted a mural of a coastal village in Italy. He was impressed by the art displayed in the Tin Pan Alley Art Collection and decided to carve another horse. He hopes that you like it.  He is incidentally, 98 years old and needs to start another project! His incentive is, “If I rest, I rust.”
