That’s no bull, at least not a real one

“Texas Longhorn” by John Lopez caused a bit of a stir last week as the large piece of art settled in on the Wimberley Square in front of Pitzer’s Fine Art.

Over the Labor Day weekend, Pitzer’s Fine Art was the grazing land for a unique sculpture of a longhorn, but not the living, snorting type.  
Entitled “Texas Longhorn,” the roaming, 18-foot hybrid metal art is made of old parts, scrap metal and bronze casting. Incorporated in the piece are “a mixture of things” such as a figure of the Alamo, Sam Houston, a dinner bell, a fiddle, guitar, cowboy on horseback and five Texas Rangers. To top it off, right in the middle is the state seal of Texas.
