When I started this post I had no idea what I had promised to do. There are lot of them and they did a lot of good stuff. There are even a few doing some good stuff today! (Master of the understatement). I said I would add as I went along but it doesn’t work […]

Lady Painters and Sculptors
This is in response to Chris Millers’ post on Sally Farnham, one of the many talented Lady Sculptors of America. Some time ago I was given a book about the paintings and sculpture collected by King Charles I of England, a subject that brought me to thinking about female artists and sculptors over the centuries […]
E_Meeting
I had a really great day yesterday in the V&A, my first e-meeting. I had the privilege to meet two of the best bloggers in English. My camera does not like the lighting in dark museums and so my pictures were very disappointing. I do hope that soon our technology will overcome this difficulty of […]
Lady Godiva
In my continuing search for works by Sir William Reid Dick I found this one of Lady Godiva who’s story has intrigued me since I first heard it as a school boy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Godiva_statue.jpg Also at the RA we can fine a Christ Child and Mother here: http://www.racollection.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?submit-button=SUMMARY&$03/1711%20index%20mus_obj_parts=.&_IXMAXHITS_=1&_IXSPFX_=full/t
Sir William Reid Dick’s Kelpie
Marly is right in some respects on the subject of “Kelpie” on my English Sculpture blog. Here is a bronze version of the same sculpture. The plaster would have been made as a “master” and kept by the foundry or the sculptor in case of accident and for the record. Smaller or larger versions could […]
More on relief
For my e-friends across the water I post these that Chris Miller missed out of the Reingold sale catalogue.
Relief
I wait with bated breath for the next instalment of Amanda Sisk’s post on sculptural relief and drawing. As Chris has also picked up this subject in a very positive way I felt somewhat bound to add my bit. It is necessary sometimes to resort to relief for reasons of space in particular. I do […]
Tegners Two
215. Man Running after his Ideal 1920, bronze. I have now added some titles and comments. I wonder if it is useful to see them first without and decide on the merits of each work as they are put to you “blind” ? These pictures come from Tegners gallery in Denmark with appropriate permission. 168. […]
One answer to global warming
I hope to do a sculpture of this Fell Pony in time for the Christmas exhibition in London. This is one of the most “more-ish” sports I know. More pictures to come soon.
One Of Art’s Greatest Secrets
95. Female Figure. A Fragment.1904, plaster. A note of explanation Chris Millers site of 20 C figure sculpture started me off with this blog, so I must get back again to the business in hand. Please forgive the enthusiasm I have for this Sculptor, but I am somewhat incensed at the low profile he seems […]
