The Yew Dell Sculpture Show- really late in posting this, only 2 more weeks to see the show....

This sculpture I carved from Alabama Marble, is strapped to the knuckle-boom truck for the trip to Yew Dell Gardens for the 7th Annual Sculpture show. Her name in the show is "Lifting the Veil" but I have since renamed her for th Greek Goddess  Nyx.  She lifts her veil to look at the day and with it truth.


Mike McCarthy unloads "Francis" an over life-size carved limestone head.  There are numerous carved creatures to be discovered in his waving locks.

Music greeted guests at the opening.  In the foreground is work of Bob Lockhart's students which has been carved from soapstone.

This interesting piece in stoneware clay and limestone is entitled "Tri-Part" artist -Robert Pulley

These butterflies, which contrast wonderfully with their limestone bases and greenery behind are entitled "

David Waltz created this wonderful ceramic piece entitled "Expecting".

Karen Cunningham's "Wonky Doodle Dandy" sculpture created from limestone and steel makes a fun statement in the garden.

Shohei Katayama's sculpture entitled "Proximity" is composed of many mirrored discs which revolve, providing an interesting effect.

These two pieces compliment each other nicely. The vibrant, energetic colors of "I Jmpd in a Pil of Livs" by "Beverly Glasscock counterpoint the clean lines of "Morpher" by David Caudill.

Ed Hamilton was the featured artist of this years show. This wonderfully expressive sculpture is entitled "Sailor" is from a Civil War monument dedicated to African Americans who served in the war.

A pair of bronze sculptures entitled "Heaven" and "Earth" by Bob Lockhart.  The sun highlights the interesting folds- the pair is striking in the landscape.

A visitor to the gardens looks at "Phoenix" by Joel Pinkerton.  The sculpture features an acrylic lens.

People gather at the opening next to Karen Terhune's  playful cat sculpture.  It is carved from limestone and entitled "The Kiss"

Fred Millers "Running Legs" (aluminum and steel) make a bold statement on the Yew Dell lawn.

Don Lawler's sculpture "Levitation" combines limestone and neon.  The soft natural color of the stone is contrasted by the vibrant red.

This is my marble sculpture renamed "Nyx lifting the Veil".

This is a skylight amidst sedum in the green roof of Yew Dell's new Green House.
