 I know I'm going to get hammered because DPCers never like photographs of sculptures. This pains me, because I am first a sculptor and second a photographer.

This is one of many of my sculptures in our yard. I will admit, I needed to take VERY BIG STEPS from our back door to get close enough to her. I also needed to do some strategic cropping to eliminate neighbors houses and fences.

Interesting image. Glad it is within walking distance of where you live.
I am disconcerted by the missing foot, but still a nice find.

PS I don't know how that garbled message that I just erased got in there, but thought you would prefer this one...

Why would you cut off the left foot? Sorry but it is a distractant to me so I had to ask. Kinda cool how the right arm follow the same shape and angle of the tree branch in the background.
