Eric, that's very nice. Did you cast the piece then cut it or is the whole thing cut/carved ? I especially like the leaves. It looks deep and 3d. What size is it ? Thanks for posting. Very good pics too !

I liked the oak leaves that Chris did in one of his works. I was not able to perform so gracefully like his.

Thanks for the comment, Monk!

The sketch was the basis, but when I started to paint on the metal had to make adjustments.
I started work without optics, and only in the process bought Optivisor.
