Title: Lonesome Cowboy Location: The Houstonian: Redstone Building, 109 N. Post Oak Lane Artist: Kermit Eisenhut Sponsor: Dede and Clarence Mayer Sylvia, Ron, Zoe and Zach Baker Laura and Jarrod Cyprow An avid fan of the annual Houston Livestock and rodeo show, artist Kermit Eisenhut explains, “I chose Lonesome Cowboy because Texas is full of cowboys, oil wells and cattle, and has beautiful sunsets! This fabulous cow will ride off into the sunset unless you place your highest bid for Lonesome Cowboy. Houston artist Kermit Eisenhut, named “Best Artist of the Year” by the Housotn Press in 2000, created fourteen entries for CowParade Houston. Eisenhut is known for his playful style that often includes animal caricatures and palate knife renderings of abstract, realistic and surrealistic subjects. He paints on canvas but also designs greeting cards, large-scale murals, furniture, plates and mannequins. Eisenhut sees clients in his downtown studio on an appointment basis. This remarkable statue can now be yours. So, be part of the fun, and help an incredible cause along the way. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Texas Children’s Hospital Building for Children capital campaign and will help fund the expansion of the Texas Children’s Cancer Center.
