| "Here
is our great American lion (mountain lion, cougar, puma), interrupted
mid-stride by some slight noise or flash of movement which demands
his immediate attention. Ever "on the alert", this magnificent
predator doesn't miss much that goes on in his immediate vicinity.
It could mean his survival, or at least his next meal. This miniature
sculpture was the original study for the table-top size "On
The Alert" Maquette (which is sold out), but when I decided
to cast it this size, I added the stylized rocks to be included
in the bronze rather than using a separate base of another material
like I did for the larger one and, of course, for the over-lifesize
version. I did this at the "Quick Draw" event of the Western
Rendezvous of Art in 2005." - Rosetta |
