Ernie Bentley embellishes cow and coyote skulls with mosaic tiles and other recycled and repurposed materials. Each skull is painstakingly prepared for the process. Each skull goes through a vigorous preparation and curing process, after which he embellishes with paint, mosaic tile and found objects, that give each piece a dazzling new look with a character of its own. The result becomes a colorful, radiant new look for an original classic western art style!
