More story to come: for now, these tiny rabbits were made for my wife and given to her for Christmas on Christmas morning in Beijing in 2014.

They are less than 2″ high and hand-cast in pewter. I have since made a mold and make them in an open edition in Bronze. They are delightfully cuddled together, just as are she an I.

They’ll be right with you.

Inna minute.

This is a one-of-a-kind sculpture, pocket sized (the marble base is just 6″ x 4″), hand cast in pewter.

Lucky you!

Lucky dog.

This is one of a new series of loose, Expressionistic representations of animals. I call them Cast Wax Sketches, because they started out as quick studies to show to a prospective commission patron who wanted a sculpture of her dog, The commission floated away but I enjoyed the light-hearted, playful way of capturing the essence of dog.

After completing this sculpture and showing it for the first time, numerous people said that this was a perfect rendition of a yoga pose––Downward Dog––as captured by a dog. So I changed its name from “Let’s Play” to this. I am nothing if not responsive to my public.

This is a one-of-a-kind sculpture, pocket sized (the marble base is just 6″ x 4″), hand cast in pewter. A fellow sculptor liked my first wax sketches and recommended that I cast them, and this was the very first. I liked it so much, I made a mold and now hand-cast it in bronze as well. But there is only one in pewter.

Just one.

Not two. Not five.

One.

Poor dog.

But a charmingly naughty dog.
