Brass Panels Installed

Hi All, I finally finished and installed the brass panels. I'm slightly disappointed with the back, which no one will ever see, but other than that I think they turned out pretty good. This was my fist experience with Brass and by far the most difficult challenge I've tackled yet. The brass "Crown" above was already there and was what governed the finish.

Yellow Oak - Wire Tree Sculpture.
18"wide x 17"high x 17" deep. Tree is made of 18 & 26 gauge silver colored steel wire. The end of each twig is hammered flat and painted a bright yellow, using enamel, to form hundreds of leaves. The tree is secured into a round maroon colored glazed container in a sand and pebble mound directly in the center of several large textured stones. The sand is painted using India ink to look like moss. The overall sculpture has the feel of a mighty oak tree in all its colorful glory. When displayed in direct sunlight or very bright lights, the sculpture seems to glow a bright yellow.


Local Attorney's Memorial

Local Attorney's Memorial

I was approached by my attorney to create a sculpture which would emulate the spirit of his mentor, somewhat of a local celebrity and humanitarian, who had recently passed away.

The concept was to blend several aspects of the man's personality into one cohesive design. The parking meter was the initial anectdotal foundation and focal point of the design, around which everything else came together. The well-known gentleman had a particular spot he parked in directly outside the city courthouse each day in a very distinctive red Lincoln; however, he NEVER plugged the meter for the spot. Instead, he arranged to have a running tab, which he paid each and every month, at the local police station - thus the concept in his abscence - "Plug the Meter for Peek" - "Times Expires, but Memories Inspire".
