Work in Progress
I usually work on several sculptures together as I find this gives a fresh outlook to a piece. New unique ideas develop to improve the final sculpture. The completed work also dictates the final finish whether it be polish, gilding or colouring.
I am also woking on new wildlife sculptures and painting designs in between carving.
