    GREAT GIFTS!!!

    This is a pencil drawing I did for my stepson and his wife last Christmas. If you are interested in something like this, please let me know. I did something similar for my stepson’s Commanding Officer in May. He commissioned a picture of his sons that he gave to his wife as a gift, as well as one of his sons and nephews that he gave to his mother-in-law. #commission #pencil #friends #gifts #family

    THE MAKING OF “HIGH DESERT ELK” – Part 6

    Elk in raw metal.  The individual sections of the mold are painted with wax to about a 1/4 inch thickness.  The wax sections are removed from mold and invested with further shell material.  They are then placed in a kiln and the wax is melted out through drain holes creating a void.  The void is then replaced with molten bronze.  After the metal cools, the shell is hammered away and you have a piece of the puzzle.  The puzzle is welded together, the welds are chased out, and

    THE MAKING OF “HIGH DESERT ELK” – Part 1

    Back in 2009, the City of Rock Springs, WY commissioned me to sculpt a one and a quarter times life size monument of the High Desert Elk.  The progression from clay to bronze is documented in 10 posts.  Here it is in clay after two months of sculpting. #bronze #commission #elk #sculpture
