A Completed Sculpture For The University of Memphis

Today I completed, or should I say almost completed the commission of Willard R. Sparks for the University of Memphis. There is just some minor smoothing out to be done and then he is off to the foundry. I expect he will be going through the mold process by the weekend. His daughter came by and approved the sculpture.  I have really enjoyed sharing not just memories of Mr. Sparks but also her love of animals and other things.  Here are some final pictures.
