This Bath Stone and York Stone sculpture (now in a private collection), makes me smile.
Each time you see a sunflower it gives a warm feeling of brightness which I have tries to encapsulate with the addition of gold leaf.
The bees (great fun to carve) have been carved to help give this a sense of natural warmth.
Looking forward to carving another similar to this, in the near future.
Carving on a sunny day!
Beautiful day for carving'Sybil'.
