Ex-bronc rider named Stamford August Artist of the Month
Buffalo Gap artist John L Eckels, born in Oklahoma and 50 years old, has been chosen Stamford's Artist of the Month for August. His oil seascapes and pencil works, inspired by Biblical verses, will be shown at the Chamber of Commerce offices through the month. Eckels, a former rodeo rider who turned to painting from age nine, has lived in Fort Worth Dallas Oklahoma and California before moving to Buffalo Gap in 1972. His wife Kathy, tied to Old Glory and Rule in childhood, has relatives in Stamford. Eckels’ art career followed a 12-year rodeo tour and a severe fall ended his riding days, moving him to canvas where pallet knife technique is his hallmark.
