PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISMENT<br />
SAN DIMAS — The cabin in<br />
the meadow - with a "musky<br />
smell" emanating from old logs<br />
and a sod floor -- linger in David<br />
Lemon's memory.<br />
He had come in the mid-1950s<br />
to this place in Utah's Uinta<br />
Mountains with his parents and<br />
grandparents to visit the girlhood<br />
home of his grandmother Hilde.<br />
"She took me to a small window<br />
and pointed to the line of<br />
the forest on the edge of the<br />
meadow," Lemon recalls. "She<br />
started to tell me about how the<br />
Ute Indian hunting parties used<br />
to walk past the cabin - how<br />
they would come to the door and<br />
ask for food. They always gave<br />
them food."<br />
It is this memory, Lemon<br />
says, -- along with the Western<br />
movies of the period - that<br />
sparked his interest in the Old<br />
West and ultimately his passion<br />
for Western art. <strong>To</strong>day, his<br />
sculpture appears in galleries and<br />
private collections throughout<br />
the United States, Canada, Europe<br />
and the Far East. Viewers<br />
can marvel at his mastery at the<br />
30th annual <strong>San</strong> Dimas Festival<br />
of Arts Western Art Exhibition<br />
and Sale April 28-30 when he will<br />
be honored as the festival's Special<br />
Exhibiting Artist. He will discuss<br />
his work at a seminar set<br />
Saturday, April 29 at 10:30 a.m.<br />
in <strong>San</strong> Dimas City Council<br />
Chambers.<br />
There is a reason, he says,<br />
why he chose sculpture as his<br />
medium. "In high school ceramics<br />
class, when I couldn't throw<br />
a pot to save my neck, my<br />
teacher suggested I try sculpting<br />
the clay. I won three scholarships<br />
for the five pieces I<br />
sculpted that year."<br />
Lemon didn't take the scholarships.<br />
The year was 1965,<br />
war was raging in Vietnam and<br />
he joined the Navy instead.<br />
It wasn't until 1977 -- when<br />
he created a clay likeness of Buffalo<br />
Bill, entered in the Utah State<br />
Fair, the piece took first place.<br />
"I was set on the road that I'm<br />
going down today because of<br />
that. I gained the confidence I<br />
needed to go out into the competitive<br />
world of art.<br />
Lemon, a member of the<br />
American Indian and Cowboy<br />
Artists, recalled how the group<br />
played a significant role in the<br />

<strong>San</strong> Dimas Festival's beginnings<br />
as well as his growth as an artist.<br />
He remembers a year when<br />
he took actor Iron Eyes Cody on<br />
a tour of the gallery.<br />
"When I came to a bronze of<br />
mine, he began to sing an Indian<br />
song. My eyes teared up, people<br />
stopped in their tracks - all just<br />
stood there listening to his incredible<br />
voice...".<br />
