Parkland County Bear

This is the piece that Parkland County purchased for their collection. Made from chlorite stone from B.C. it is about 20 inches long and 9 inches tall weighs about 60 lbs. New design that I came up with that seems to be well received.

Parkland County Municipal Art Program

Parkland County for the second time in two years choose my Bear in Black Chlorite as part of their 2009 Art Acquisition Collection. With financial support from SMS Equipment, out of the 130 entries, twelve pieces were purchased and will be displayed in Parkland County owned Facilities. The Art Work Unveiling took place Apr 15, 2010 at a wine and cheese social at the Parkland County Administration building.

Carving at DBG March 26/27 2010

Beyond beginner course, the results were outstanding. A nice eagle head by Lloyd G. from Sangudo, Emma working on a beautiful somewhat abstract sculpture and Tom just grinding away on a whale fluke. Lots of fun and some really nice pieces were made by those who attended! Next course is in April
