His Affectionate Embrace: Part of a series called "In the Raw," a figurative group of sculptures relating the Creator to the beauty of the human body. This piece is a representation of a vision the artist had during prayer.
"The Lamb's Tender Lion": Prophetic sculpture piece from the "In the Raw" series. In Ms. Belinda Porter's collection.
"The Piercings": Part of the "In the Raw" series. Prophetic scultpure done during a church worship session.
Val's Hand: for a commission by a private collector. I was accused of doing this piece from a hand-casting, which wasn't true. As I recall, Auguste Rodin was accused of doing the same for his "John the Baptist" sculpture. I wasn't sure if I should be offended or flattered when accused of not doing this from sight only. BTW: it was done from sight only, and NOT from a hand casting.
