A of B
Here is a sneak preview of one of my current works. She is destined for a river bower in Buckinghamshire. The first picture is the maquette, in the second she is at an early stage of the main cay.
The herb garden
It is now December and we still have herbs growing in the garden. The temperature here last night was 15 c. I listened to some Gilbert and Sullivan last night after a long absence. 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

Professor Reinhold Hohl – he can not be serious.
Just sometimes I see red. My family would say often, as “grumpy old male syndrome” has kicked in early for me. But this takes the biscuit. I won’t come to blows over it but I couldn’t agree to disagree. Umm, a bit like that one “I can not stand intolerance of any kind”! One of […]
Pre Picassan Brotherhood
I have come across an important seed which needs nurture. They have an important point which is gaining ground but not found the “Art Establishment” yet. The Pre-Picassan Brotherhood by Laura Alport …………………………………………………………We have all been taught in our art history classes that the great subjects have been exhausted, that there is “nothing new under […]
