Eagle commission and "She Sail" stone vessel

Finally!! I'm all but finished with the Eagle commission that I started last summer.  It is 38" high by 24" wide by 12" thick and weighs about 350 lbs.  I've got a RIDICULOUS amount of labor and effort in this sculpture.  I'm happy with the end result, but it was outside of my comfort zone, to say the least.  This was a tough one.
Here's some views as you walk around the piece...






Now that this piece is out of the studio, I am able to get onto other projects.  Below, is the first effort that I call "She Sail", Indiana Limestone, 38" long x 12" high by 12" wide and about 100 lbs.




If the winter isn't too harsh, I hope that I'll be able to make more pieces.  If it's below freezing, (like today) then I'll spend my time making new designs in clay or drawings for next season.

Let's hope 2021 is an improvement over 2020
