So I spent most of April and early May, working on my largest, most intricate project to date. Is an Osprey family made For a Environmental education foundation headquarters in Somers point New Jersey.
The flying female osprey is nearly 6 feet in wingspan. The entire group of sculptures will be installed in a nesting habitat located in the Patcong center. The grand opening is for sometime late June. I am excited to be part of this great organizations outreach to the jersey shore community.
It was quite the task carving it with largely hand tools. Not to mention to tubes of oil it to to cover those wings.
I thought the DHBP would enjoy the process.
