There are three Bigham’s BBQ restaurants in Lubbock Texas, and they have a ranch near Dickens, Texas. Lynn was furnished with some photos of the ranch that gave him some ideas to create his murals. He worked them out with drawings and black and white acrylic sketches

Here is a black and white sketch with acrylics. One of Lynn’s great artistic qualities is that he relies heavily upon getting the values as realistic as possible. The best way to do this is to make a black and white painting.

Roy Rogers started his Radio show from Matador Ranch and weekends did a Dude Ranch Dance party. He lived on 9th street in Lubbock. Lynn sent this tidbit of information, and mentioned how Roy was one of both of our heroes. I personally met Roy back in the early seventies (a long time ago) when he performed at the Houston Livestock and Rodeo. It was a great thrill for me. Although the picture of Roy and Trigger Lynn painted, it was a painting, not part of the Mural

It is very obvious that a great deal of work goes into a thirty foot mural on the side of a building. Lynn was up to the challenge, and did good work. I’m sure I could never pull off such a creation even if I am a couple of years younger than my big brother is.
