The Bears are finished!

The Bears are finished! The Bears are finished!
The sculpture was started back in 2002 and set aside. Originally, it was going to be a polar bear playing with its foot. Then, I thought I'd rather do a mother Grizzly with cubs. Mary Ann Pollard came out and saw the existing sculptural preform. When I explained to her how I'd like to finish the piece, she decided to commission the sculpture and have it placed at Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, KY. What follows are before-and-after from various views of the sculpture.








It makes me tired to look at how much it took, to get a finished piece from the old preform.

Thank you! The client hasn't been able to come out yet. That will be the first week of March and then we will talk about installation and the unveiling. I'll let you know.
