Week Twelve

This week I worked with the Forest Idyl and Mother sculptures. Forest Idyl is positioned right outside the main courtyard and is inspired by the Song of Hiawatha. Its a quaint sculpture of a woman holding a doe while a mother deer is next to them and tending to her offspring. The sculptures itself is quite intricate; cleaning and waxing it took more time and attention than I had anticipated but the work was worth it as it looks much better now.

Mother is positioned on the periphery of the premise right on Osceola Drive and is a sculpture of a mother with a child standing next to her and a baby cradled in her left arm. This has actually proven to be the most challenging of the sculptures simply due to its sheer size. Its probably the largest of the sculptures on site and took more time and wax than any of the other works to tend to.
