Horse and Rider
I am looking for information on this sculptor C. Siegel as this work interests me. When I have the time I want to combine my two subjects, figures and animals. I have always been inspired by the horse, man’s best friend who has helped him create our present civilisation. From hunting, ploughing fields, transport and […]

I had forgotten just how much lighter one feels with it especially having just got through “The Witches’ Sabaoth”, but then […]

This is a finished maquette of one of the poses for a new commission for a garden in Buckinghamshire. Another of my poses was chosen but this one was very popular.
Dorset Stone Sculptor, Mike Chapman
