MacNelly Sculpture

I got a postcard in the mail today announcing a show of Jeff MacNelly's bronze sculptures at r.h.ballard, art, rug & home in Washington, VA. The exhibit runs May 6 - 28. The gallery is at 307 Main Street, Washington, VA. There was a reception with Susie MacNelly, who carries on Jeff's strip Shoe, on May 6th (before I received the announcement.)

If anyone gets to the exhibit, I'd love to hear about it. I saw a few of Jeff's sculptures in progress when I visited him in 1993. The postcard shows a cowboy on a horse climbing a muddy slope. The one I recall seeing in progress was of a man on a horse talking to a man in a pickup truck.

I am of that generation of editorial cartoonists who felt that MacNelly could do no wrong. Everything the man touched turned to gold. In this case, I guess, bronze.
