GREAT GIFTS!!!

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
