The sculpture will be lowered and the location of the pins will be marked on the concrete; these precise points will first be drilled into the concrete with a smaller drill bit to serve as pilot holes for the larger concrete-cutting bit to do its work. The installation team made use of compressed air to remove the extracted concrete dust from each of the 24-attach points for the bear and the cubs.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGI1vNZCoOlxFyc3j7OalQkGI-y8F92apDk34zEtWcr52c_AmartkkZ2pvKUIrl_mgjz8-Q9ns1nqKAINT7igsjqjreNcmL5AZoXAjh7DlYz2YCdNceMb5ZPOmgnFNiDsLG4iVPL6b330lPMRySgxJnYu2znh2A-zwBTYGTeEDsa7EtgYtnJw4sIKrhAM/s4032/setting-the-monument6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGI1vNZCoOlxFyc3j7OalQkGI-y8F92apDk34zEtWcr52c_AmartkkZ2pvKUIrl_mgjz8-Q9ns1nqKAINT7igsjqjreNcmL5AZoXAjh7DlYz2YCdNceMb5ZPOmgnFNiDsLG4iVPL6b330lPMRySgxJnYu2znh2A-zwBTYGTeEDsa7EtgYtnJw4sIKrhAM/s320/setting-the-monument6.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvAlpOPimAvfG3IkciTFZZsoBFluRX59_J0z_oegbrFoOVvNgyAF4_SYuWKs_TXAsY9SP_oQd1VCDfxsXkiMujWww5mq0n-If8BFanUDwZYnKMCIUzDKGDQTRdHlwoVgaQwVlZkdHEMLUa5hNSQTLSTA8IuyiEopaCaG2k0hDi2PKFJnoz2eh3rk1AhN0/s4032/setting-the-monument5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvAlpOPimAvfG3IkciTFZZsoBFluRX59_J0z_oegbrFoOVvNgyAF4_SYuWKs_TXAsY9SP_oQd1VCDfxsXkiMujWww5mq0n-If8BFanUDwZYnKMCIUzDKGDQTRdHlwoVgaQwVlZkdHEMLUa5hNSQTLSTA8IuyiEopaCaG2k0hDi2PKFJnoz2eh3rk1AhN0/s320/setting-the-monument5.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt7R3thte3xqrWLmihdV8nsB6m8TqAVyUijGVZW4NFzMGeePi5aZqNKgMLJenxsjLmGrpmtdCOoBSNM_CZ3N0P5GEIhPP6EkW7x66t0UdoMAo9HsCYzHWMJGeOlwCdUPO-XAT-zhKsuLfkM73cNBJPhNuIU8EAzQuL77daCaQF-LmJb2-C9e2Ji6n536s/s4032/setting-the-bear7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt7R3thte3xqrWLmihdV8nsB6m8TqAVyUijGVZW4NFzMGeePi5aZqNKgMLJenxsjLmGrpmtdCOoBSNM_CZ3N0P5GEIhPP6EkW7x66t0UdoMAo9HsCYzHWMJGeOlwCdUPO-XAT-zhKsuLfkM73cNBJPhNuIU8EAzQuL77daCaQF-LmJb2-C9e2Ji6n536s/s320/setting-the-bear7.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj1pjj-GEqs1Dm7_TtNceBy78N4WJ6WJvGa-iiWhj0uw8w1tsLqaIJeLLDtcoCVbLN43MTbAyb3NLfNYO9KpNIh6tiX2or_biEAyZUSMPvoQ7dUyX9gOXpdKw1vT28R_3tKXsQwDS6RXjHO39iEsK_953weqBmdekJfPWe5Oq51wx81Zv6Gk7jBRSfNpQ/s4032/setting-the-bear8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj1pjj-GEqs1Dm7_TtNceBy78N4WJ6WJvGa-iiWhj0uw8w1tsLqaIJeLLDtcoCVbLN43MTbAyb3NLfNYO9KpNIh6tiX2or_biEAyZUSMPvoQ7dUyX9gOXpdKw1vT28R_3tKXsQwDS6RXjHO39iEsK_953weqBmdekJfPWe5Oq51wx81Zv6Gk7jBRSfNpQ/s320/setting-the-bear8.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The holes for each of the 24-stainless steel attached pins have been prepped and next the sculpture will be delicately lowered into the epoxy-filled holes.

During chasing, the metal chaser will blend and integrate the weld marks . . . leaving no trace of seam lines. As the welds are chased away and blended into the surrounding metal textures, I spend many hours in the foundry. The metal chasing step in the process is very important to the artist: The integrity of the surface and what was modeled into the clay must flow seamlessly. A metal chaser is a highly trained technician and must be sensitive to and aware of the sculptors modeling techniques.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWSWnbfV0HJHkgjXEGM_RdyTWJZtHy-Px1zieY24QeWX6QR5ygY2JbThR_ey0_QHxB0hwiSgpLYtgilDEzkeZYLbWPSlCP9HisBLshUQCJXtqjUTLA8VvPb_7Q2x7pYcIuOyF8CylTRDK2S2hknU2DgHiwFj2aADZqAojD0gUa8a1n4CXw-jrgQIi-Bsc/s4032/399-bear-bronze-10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWSWnbfV0HJHkgjXEGM_RdyTWJZtHy-Px1zieY24QeWX6QR5ygY2JbThR_ey0_QHxB0hwiSgpLYtgilDEzkeZYLbWPSlCP9HisBLshUQCJXtqjUTLA8VvPb_7Q2x7pYcIuOyF8CylTRDK2S2hknU2DgHiwFj2aADZqAojD0gUa8a1n4CXw-jrgQIi-Bsc/s320/399-bear-bronze-10.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuVPnm-lwl96j0_iKATeizedp_7eww0rwOqAm5IwmVM2ev-a-u37IoxnEM1b7SQ2YmZZxm3P9a4vPhOkjY4d5ySp1LYs-wIdGR1ueQRqJc6OJtJWiS7uPGYo4o6EJJMc66Ron4YUP38gbk3rysCQMX7uNQhvTQzMK3ECBlkF1BTcsiWwbcn-XUmzuKw6E/s1266/steel-armature.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1266" data-original-width="950" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuVPnm-lwl96j0_iKATeizedp_7eww0rwOqAm5IwmVM2ev-a-u37IoxnEM1b7SQ2YmZZxm3P9a4vPhOkjY4d5ySp1LYs-wIdGR1ueQRqJc6OJtJWiS7uPGYo4o6EJJMc66Ron4YUP38gbk3rysCQMX7uNQhvTQzMK3ECBlkF1BTcsiWwbcn-XUmzuKw6E/s320/steel-armature.jpg" width="240" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYE81cfUeVcb2qQj6l22v3OyMwRHc81hoCXLyy2zA6R8cnMBjJ1FY_FDYUpOYAG8tq9zN-fRg6Qgy6a32BtU6OcfE05xV6D5rENPvUTussQalenxO2tPH7LIvj0K88sbOhzDQ8sbu4Ejizp3QV-amoTNz0OVRA8tV93Xx5nEDCnv9xP-vQ3CJO-esjbMA/s4032/399-bear-bronze-3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYE81cfUeVcb2qQj6l22v3OyMwRHc81hoCXLyy2zA6R8cnMBjJ1FY_FDYUpOYAG8tq9zN-fRg6Qgy6a32BtU6OcfE05xV6D5rENPvUTussQalenxO2tPH7LIvj0K88sbOhzDQ8sbu4Ejizp3QV-amoTNz0OVRA8tV93Xx5nEDCnv9xP-vQ3CJO-esjbMA/w240-h320/399-bear-bronze-3.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Looking past the original clay model, which damaged during mold pull, note the heavy steel armature emerging from the bear's feet. Bronze is over 95% copper and the soft metal is not strong enough to support itself when cast in large, heavy monuments. Therefore, a steel armature must be placed inside the sculpture to provide structural support. Imagine a garment hanging from and supported by a coat hanger and one can envision the armature procedure.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Notice the steel bar inserted in the leg. One panel has not been welded in place to allow the workers access to the steel armature inside the sculpture.</div></div><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979021793543574385.post-77554029671556531972023-08-06T13:33:00.010-06:002023-08-19T11:15:05.135-06:00#792 Sprue, Shell, Burn-out, Cast, Metal Pour, and Removing Shell - Grizzly 399<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The genesis of "I Can't Hear You" was a scenario I witnessed on a hike in Jackson, Wyoming. I heard a riotous cacophony of croaks and squawks and glassed a pair of ravens a short distance away. One bird was silent with a seemingly aloof, disinterested attitude while the other pursued an in your face uproar. The narrative of the event struck me and the sculptural depiction speaks for itself.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979021793543574385.post-86900386256720935022022-04-30T16:22:00.010-06:002022-08-12T17:21:30.453-06:00#776 "Trail Creek Brownies" Wall Mount<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhde4GDJUB6EoLQLErtHuVDq9PlHgekhUxMzFtzByTTgAO3vMQGyvRAKrfDbihl8jvpll3HD_jpFUS8CMgDvYQKZvBVuYhPgsd3Y_0bQ0GjuxdJqaZyHlS-7zhxfaTfNtU6fKcQTifTs7fFxWcG2WW2JSS8yecVWl1Q9T9P_r6KhxnA5CT72lDvpHOU/s3866/DSCN9325.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="3866" height="572" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhde4GDJUB6EoLQLErtHuVDq9PlHgekhUxMzFtzByTTgAO3vMQGyvRAKrfDbihl8jvpll3HD_jpFUS8CMgDvYQKZvBVuYhPgsd3Y_0bQ0GjuxdJqaZyHlS-7zhxfaTfNtU6fKcQTifTs7fFxWcG2WW2JSS8yecVWl1Q9T9P_r6KhxnA5CT72lDvpHOU/w640-h572/DSCN9325.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small;">(click on image to enlarge)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">"Trail

<br /><div style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When I see trout hanging from a twig I think of Ken Bunn. Ken was a
celebrated master sculptor whose work I greatly admire. I lived in Ft.
Collins, Colorado years ago and when Ken and Mary came up from
Denver we would fish the Cache la Poudre River in the Rocky Mountain
foothills. Trish and I owned property there which had a tributary to
the Poudre running through it called Trail Creek where we would all camp
along the stream.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Ken grew up in Denver and was an excellent fly fisherman. Each morning he
would cast the beaver pond upstream and return with fresh caught brown trout
for breakfast. I can close my eyes and smell the bacon sizzling on the

Their pointed dagger-like bill is perfect for catching fish and frogs. The design source for my new sculpture, "Marsh Master" was the Tricolored Heron which is a sleek, slender and fairly small heron compared to its cousin the Great Blue Heron. Reference for the work was gathered at Port Aransas on the Texas gulf coast and is the latest addition to an ongoing portfolio of coastal, wading, and shorebirds in progress. </span></p><br /><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979021793543574385.post-57236373151265456242022-04-30T16:14:00.010-06:002022-08-12T17:26:36.768-06:00#774 "Tempest"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpErHRCt95cfGx99len9nM0hFpdLtdWQXPPuXD_TrQFt6eqenN6jzn8kg9u_ERtBOqAQxabHpLX19WjoNI4jzfCsD5onXP8cBflG8kVdqw4USbnkdCgT0s8pId_u68j7L-T73jfn-k8x7q0pF6p_dCGEt5IHKAUSQMhKYIgnnsjscTsMebIzFiKs5A/s5400/SandyScott_2022_3_2_LJ.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3600" data-original-width="5400" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpErHRCt95cfGx99len9nM0hFpdLtdWQXPPuXD_TrQFt6eqenN6jzn8kg9u_ERtBOqAQxabHpLX19WjoNI4jzfCsD5onXP8cBflG8kVdqw4USbnkdCgT0s8pId_u68j7L-T73jfn-k8x7q0pF6p_dCGEt5IHKAUSQMhKYIgnnsjscTsMebIzFiKs5A/w640-h427/SandyScott_2022_3_2_LJ.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(click on image to enlarge)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">"Tempest" <br /></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">17"H 21"W 8D<br /></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">Ed.

aesthetic perfection is an ongoing pursuit and at any given time I have
several horse sculptures in progress in the studio. I'm influenced by
Greek and Renaissance sculpture from antiquity as well as
Bayre and Fremiet from the 19th century and Anna Hyatt Huntington and
Adolph Weinman from the 20th century.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">My goal while creating "Tempest" was to present a feeling of dignity
and drama with a symbolic pose of wind- tossed mane
depicting power, beauty, and proportion. As a lover of horses, one
who grew up with and has always owned horses, I enter the realm of instinct
while contemplating the design of what I consider the most beautiful
animal on earth. </span></div></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
