Infernal Dragon

The measurements are as follows: 15” (wingtip to wingtip) x 13” high (including walnut and oak base) x 11” (tip of nose to tip of tail); cast in bronze, patinated in three colors, with golden highlights.
With wings unfurled and claws extended, this Infernal Dragon, disturbed from its centuries-long sleep, perches on the outcrop above its dismal cave and cries out its challenge to the beasts of the field and the serpents of the stream.
Price: $4,000 + shipping

Calling the Powers

Picture
Picture
"Calling the Powers" is located along the Roanoke (VA) Greenway trail, near Black Dog Salvage. It is a well-known and much-loved sculpture. I was finally persuaded by a personal request to sculpt a new one, based closely on the original. This I did, and from the molds have had two copies cast in bronze for waiting customers. I am willing to sell four more copies, but no more.
​Dimensions: 32" (the span of the hands); 17" (height from the ground to the top of her forehead); 25" (from the forward edge of her knees to the trailing edge of her hair)
Price: $22,000, plus crating & shipping

"Li'l" Poet

Picture
Picture
If you're lucky, you might just spy this little guy in the woods, sitting on a stone or stump, quill pen in hand, looking dreamily up into the trees as he works out the lines of his next poem. He's naturally furry, as you can see from his bare feet and wooly neck, so he perfectly cozy sleeping under the leaves, even on a cold winter's night. Sometimes his best poems come to him then. Wouldn't you like to have a "Li'l Poet" tucked away in your garden somewhere?

Her Private World

"Her Private World," (13 & 1/2" long x 7" wide) bronze cast and mounted on a pine base, is a quiet piece, very suitable for a personal library, study area, or children's room. It shows a young girl in bed, absorbed in reading a book, with her little dog at her side.

Bedroom Ballet

Picture
Picture
This work, 16" (h) including the walnut base, is perhaps a whimsical work which depicts an older gentleman, alone in his bedroom, who pretends he is the dancer he sometimes still wishes he had become. The mold for this piece is long gone, so this is the one and only issue!

Come With Me

Picture
Picture
This work, cast in bronze and 27 & 1/2" (h), including the walnut and pine base, is a favorite. For many folks, it depicts the dynamic tension in marriage, where the man is happy staying put, and the woman longs to fly, but both want to hold onto each other.

On Pointe

Picture

Picture
An accomplished and aspiring ballerina kindly agreed to pose for "On Pointe." I sought to capture her poise, balance, suppleness, and strength. The modest size of the work--18" (h), including the polished stone base--was a challenge, as I intended, especially the ballerina's face and hands. The stone-like perch on which she is poised nicely accentuates the total effect.
