This project was done to commemorate a loved pet. About 14 inches tall, sheet metal, wire and paint.
We see many portraits of pets, yet not so many sculptures of them. We have many images of our pets in the house, zero sculptures, and there’s a sculptor in the family.
I’m sure if sculpture didn’t take up floor or shelf space, needed as little dusting as 2-D art, and covered wall blemishes as easily as a painting, things would be different.
So, personalized pet products it is. It was fun to do. This one is suppose to be a Flat Coat Retriever. Not sure if I’ll do more or try other breeds, maybe our pets or wildlife….SQUIRREL!!!
That dog is the cutest thing!! Its tail wags almost as well as Sadie’s does.

Thanks. We put it on top the vacuum droid and it bounced off the walls and furniture just like a puppy! Maybe I’ll add that video to the post.

Oh! Yes! Do add that video! Shawn and Bob Boessel came over for a glass of wine tonight, and they asked about your art. Shawn wanted to see your Christmas gift this year, but she had to settle for my description of it. She expressed interest in seeing your blog, so I must send her the address. She is very artistic and admires the talents of others.

I never thought of your missing a piece of Chris’ art. It makes sense, because you shared space with it for a while. At least you can look at the video any time!
