This is my friends’ grandfather. He’s a very talented man and I just love this video of him showing his work. Mr. Emmart shows such admiration for his art, so technical and so witty. He seems to have a strong and caring soul, just like his grandson. Watch him chat about his watercolors and horse sculptures below:
From his son, Carter, on YouTube: “My father, artist, sculptor, story teller, WWII veteran, animal lover and inspiration. Born 1923, grew up drawing and making things. Fought in Patton’s Army, wounded in Germany. Raised family of 4 with 62 year ongoing support of wife Ginger. Worked career in TV commercial art. Ogilvy & Mather story board lead. Love of history, wood working, and sailing. Retired to Cape Cod to carve horses and master watercolor. Emmart family patron”
