Longhorn: living symbol of the old west

Remembering a dear friend, Raymond Henney. Some years ago, Raymond saw my High Desert Creations full-page advertisement in Southwest Art Magazine. He called just to tell me what I was doing was a unique, rustic style – and to not change what I was doing. After that he called me quite often to talk arts, and to find out what I was currently working on. Talk about an encouraging, inspiring man. A man who appreciated the old west.

This is one of the last photos taken of Raymond in late 2020 – still wearing a pendant I’d made for him. Raymond owned several businesses in Stockton, CA and he often used the Longhorn as a logo.

And as the owner of Henney Gallery, Raymond followed his passion. He loved art – had an eye for art – and especially enjoyed art house auctions.

Remembering Raymond Henney. I never met him, and felt I lost a dear friend.
