A Sneak Peak at Upcoming Masterpieces from late August

August 21, 2024

SYBIL SUNFLOWER

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.
