Horse

This wonderful sculpture was made and given to me by a very talented cousin with a great knowledge of horses. He used to make stunning sculptures of horses in no time, just by adding pieces of clay to an anonymous initial lump, while conversing pleasantly with whoever was present in the room. He still is horse-mad and sometimes still mad like this one.

That is fantastic. Where or how could I purchase one? My mother had these two beautiful carved horse heads that burned in a fire that she got from Spain.

Mahalo for your visit! This beautiful sculpture inspires me to return to sculpting. I'm also horse mad! :-)

Thanks for the note on my blog. I understand the "that period is over" thing and i respect that. Art should not be manufactured, but have inspiration and passion. Tell him I think that the horse is just amazing, lots of raw energy in that sculpture.
