The bronze "Family" is ready for mold making. "Breaching Whale" mounted for the fourth time, with fins.

It feels like it has been a long week. But things are coming together here. Today we finished working on the pieces of the "Family" sculpture. Now that I've gotten it the way I want it they can make molds of all the pieces. After that is done then we can weld the original bronze pieces together and have the completed AP (Artist's Proof).





You have to imagine the dog's leash, the girls' braids, and the American Flags that the girls are waving. They will be fabricated and added later after the pieces are all welded together.



The Deer Park is just about ready to be cut up into pieces and have the molds made.

The Breaching Whale still needs work, but I think I'm getting the feel that I want. To me, when I have seen the humpbacks breaching, I think of strength, power, freedom and joy. If I can capture some of that I'll be a happy man.
