Over the next months, 3 original bronze sculptures per month are being offered at reduced prices. They are advertised exclusively online and contacting Lynn Contway will make the sale. First come, first served. However, if a piece is on the current website, additional sales can be ordered at the sale price. The wait will be at least 6 weeks (depending on the foundries).
Jay has kept many pieces over the years. These are three that were tucked away on his storage shelves. Each is small and light, cast in his own foundry where he could make sure every detail was correct. All three bronzes exhibit Jay Contway’s signature style, his use of color, action and detail are what make these sculptures fine pieces of art that will bring pleasure to viewers for many years.
#1 of 3 is the 1994 Wyatt Earp (49/100)
This sculpture was made years ago but it remains a favorite, especially when a new movie about the legend is made. Jay researched his subject, so the dress is as accurate as possible. Even in bronze Wyatt Earp is ready for action and commands respect.

#2 of 3 is the 1998 Travois (Artist Copy)
We love to visit museums where they have authentic replicas of the well-used travois. It was such an ingenious method of transportation for native people. The triangular shape of this bronze catches the eye in any room and brings a uniqueness to the piece.
While Jay’s work would never be called feminine, he is still able to capture the grace and beauty of a native mother and all the fine detail she has put into her belongings. Take a close look at the patient horse and you will see Jay studied the true look of a plains horse from long ago.

#3 of 3 is the 2007 Nature’s Own(4/24)
Jay’s horse sculptures are so pure in content you can easily imagine the swish of a tail, twitch of a muscle and gentle huff from a mare to her foal. This lovely piece will bring years of joy to any horse lover. Commission an order and you can have the mare and foal colored to your liking!

Life Changes
Old age catches up to us all and Jay Contway is no exception. Years of roping and riding and pouring pots of molten hot bronze have wreaked enough havoc on his back that he is now wheelchair bound. His mind prefers to remember the glory days of youth and accomplishments of a world famous artist rather than the humdrum details of everyday living in the care of others.
To date, Jay has made over 225 different sculptures and cast over 6000 pieces of his work, turning them into salable treasures. Together with his wife and business partner, Lynn, Jay intends to cast out the remaining models until each has been completed. The Contways have been working with excellent Montana foundries for several years so they are completely confident in the quality of the work being produced.
