A visitor during Covid 19 lockdown

The garden has been a very quiet place for much of the spring, but a pair of sparring roe deer bucks chased each other all round both it and the orchard for about 20 minutes today. While pausing for breath, one of them suddenly noticed my fox sculpture, and after a moment of alarm had to reassure himself by giving it a thorough sniff…

Young roe deer pair

The young roe deer are now cast into bronze resin and able to enjoy some September sunshine.  Like the adult deer, both are limited editions of 18.

 

Finished sculpting young Roe deer pair

I have completed sculpting the two young roe deer which when shown with the buck and doe will complete the family.  They are now in the process of being cast.  This is the clay of the one lying down, just before being taken to the casting studio.
