Humpback Whale Eye retailer Sculpted Art Tile Realistic Animal Statue

Humpback whale relief sculpture. I was recently requested to create a whale sculpture. While I have observed humpbacks on the 'whale watching' California boat tours one can take, I did not feel I knew enough about them to attempt one with much confidence. With a little bit of research, I was impressed by the intelligence in the eyes that these creatures possess. This little piece is about that look. As an aside, I was also listening to Don Mclean's song about Van Gogh, 'starry night' I think it's called. Some of the images in my mind of that retailer iconic painting worked its way into this piece! The result, I think, is a friendly, inquisitive expression.

From my sculpt in soft clay, I make a mold. Into this mold , I cast hydrostone cement to make permanent editions. These editions are then colored by hand . There are hooks on the back to hang this sculpture like a picture
.
