Nuthatch on Bark
(Limited Edition of 12) 3/12 “Birdwatching one morning I watched a Nuthatch descend a Scots Pine. The unusual angle, typical of a Nuthatch, against the rough textured trunk and using a patina to accentuate the colours of this ingrained and weathered bark have made a beautiful statement bronze”. Wren on Pumpkin
(Limited Edition of 12) 4/12 “Once again this idea came from a painting. Having watched a Wren in an old barn where pumpkins and gourds were being stored, I combined the two for a painting and subsequent bronze”. Kingfisher
(Limited Edition of 12) 6/12 “Being a trout fisherman I often see a Kingfisher on the river and love watching them. It was a challenge to produce a bronze, but with the verdigris patina on the Kingfisher I think it complements the piece beautifully and evokes that flash of turquoise which is often all you see”. Swallows on Stable Door
(Limited Edition of 12) 7/12 “The inspiration for this bronze came from one of my larger paintings. Having watched immature Swallows landing on wires in a friend’s paddock and resting on the stable door it became a wonderful subject to paint and then to convert from paint to bronze and indeed I have done both for customers to display together”. Swallow on Flowerpot
(Limited Edition of 20) 5/20 “A resting Swallow on an old small terra cotta flowerpot. Figment of my imagination and giving a feeling of summer and a garden”. |
