This was my inspiration for this piece

The half size maquette from which I worked

I thought it best to piece together the maquette with the gate it will guard

Getting rid of the waist. This the quickest way.

Now the “air” has gone, its time to start the shaping.

Roughing out

Working up the detail

Looking at how to make the overhang

Now there’s the solution

Sorted out the overhang and we are ready to go …

Finally installed over the gate it needs to guard.

Close up

Looking at the artist

I moved and couldn’t part with him, so he came with me and now guards a garden path until …. I find a proper place for him
