"Profusion" stone sculpture

 This is a rather ornate new creation carved from a piece of Indiana Limestone and attached to a base with a stainless steel pin.  The top piece measures 55" high x 14" wide x 6" thick.  The base is a triangle because I designed this piece to fit into a corner.  The back edges measure 28" and it is 3" thick.  I'm estimating the total weight around 200 lbs.
This is the back view.  The vine portions of the plants have a rhythmic chisel texture that contrasts to the polish of the berries and the leaves.  !!!SOLD!!!

"Little Bit of Soul" stone sculpture

 This sculpture is a new direction for me - I've inlayed white Alabama Marble into a small sculpture of Indiana Limestone.
 It is signed 9-26-18 and has a radial pattern of chisel marks that contrast with the deep polish of the inner and outer forms.
 It measures 17" x 12" x 14" high, weighs 76 lbs. and will sell for $580.00.
 Here's the back view.
I included this photo because of the raccoon in the background.

 This is a fairly involved vessel form called "Fireball Sprout" and is a marriage of 2 popular motifs in my work: Shooting Stars and Floral Forms.

It was signed on 9-11-18. It will sell for $780.00.

Eagle Vessel

 This new vessel in Indiana Limestone represents a Bald Eagle with a bush texture that is white for the head and body and a high polish which makes the stone darker.
 It's a fairly large piece, mostly intended for the outdoor garden.  It weighs 55 lbs. and measures 27" long x 15" wide and is 6" high.
It was signed on 9-6-18 !!!SOLD!!!
