How very sad. They are threatening to remove this “structure” in Vancouver. On my visit to Canada I noticed a lack of preserving things especially old buildings which seem to be abandoned and a new one built close by. This seems to epitomise that.I will admit that if I were to be going to Vancouver […]
Plumber Manor Bronze Sculpture
I took a video and photos of some of my works at Plumber Manor today. I thought I would test out the video on blogger!
More Martyrs from Dorset
As an addendum to this I recently read about some more Catholic martyrs from Chideock. There was once a castle there and was a significantly Roman Catholic area in the first Elizabethan era and to the present day. (Picture borrowed from the Chideock website.)
Ceramics and Sculpture
This delightful group, picture courtesy of Jan’s Antiques in LA, is after a model by Clodion and illustrates Terra Cotta (Baked clay) A fun mug on the right from Jerusalem, a gold fish in the bottom, about 1953.

In honour of this,biographies of the following female renowned artists have been addedto the list of renowned artists. See […]
Anteros, (Eros) Shaftesbury Memorial, Piccadilly.
As Punch so well shows, watch your back Felipe! Alfred Gilbert who I have mentioned before is one of my favourite sculptors. Not all his work is to my liking; however Eros had a special place in my heart, long before I started my career as a sculptor or considered its aesthetic merits in detail. […]
No Mr. Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, more Sculpture please
It interests me that such a celebrated academic of international dimension should cast such a shadow upon the hard working sculptors of Great Britain in his article in the Evening Standard on the 7th of March. It has taken that long for me to count to ten! I do not need to defend any sculptor’s […]
Some Spring Flowers
I am neglecting my blog, but working very hard on a large figure and a stallion, both must be finished urgently!! These are for Marley, who asked if it was spring yet over here in England. The answer is; “sort of”, flowers and birds think so but the rest of us are gritting our teeth […]
