It is all in the details.



Just finishing up the details on this sculpture. You can read more about the entire project at http://www.dickhathaway.blogspot.com




This life size sculpture has been in my studio for almost 2 years. usually these life size pieces take anywhere from 6 months to a year. Professor Hathaway was a project where I donated over $16,000 to the project and the people of Montpelier who knew and loved Professor Hathaway donated the rest. It took them some time to get the money raised and sent.



I hold off on creating all of the fine detail until just before it goes to the foundry, otherwise the detail might be ruined as it is touched, or accidentally bumped. This is the sculpture that is also featured in my videos. Soon he will be home in Montpelier Vermont.
