Carvings In Homes - Page 1

Below are examples of clients who have mailed me photos depicting displays of wall  and
in the round sculptures in their home. To date, pieces have found their way into not only homes
 but in medical and law offices, commercial buildings and restaurants. The work is quite striking
to the public when they visit these establishments.

Pelican Wall
This home in Carmel, California,  proudly displays the two flying Pelicans above the sliding doors to the outside. When placed in sets of two or more, they make a striking statement for a home with sea life as a theme or near the ocean as in Carmel. Measuring 29" X 31", they are carved ion Alder wood with a Mahogany beak.
Lighthouse Carving

This lighthouse carving in Red Gum really stands out against the wall and fireplace of this Los Altos home in California. The piece is 30" in diameter and is highlighted by a soft light for additional effect.

Morro Rock Mirror
This Morro Bay, California home has a sea life mirror in the hallway depicting the famous Morro Rock as a focal point along with twin sea otters along the bottom. Notice the etched areas in the mirror depicting waves, Pelicans and Gulls flying. Carved in Alder wood, measuring 31" X 47", this mirror opens an area visually creating a stunning display.

Orangutan Trio
This display of baby Orangutans with the tree adjacent to the pieces in this Morgan Hill, California home creates a fantastic corner display. The two wall sculptures are complimented by the three dimensional piece on the floor. The 30" baby Orangutan is holding a piece of Manila rope and ties the entire group together. Below are individual shots of each piece, and Richard with the sculpture at the Wal-Mart Photo Department!
Ocean Vista Wall
This Fremont, California client has created a fantastic dual wall display. Utilizing the Twin Horizontal Pelicans as a center, the display also uses Seals, Otters, a Lighthouse, a Dungeness Crab and a flight of five Pelicans! The Pelicans have been spaced away from the wall 2", and the corner Pelican is 11" away  from the center of the corner. The shadows created by the spacing vary as the day progresses, creating an almost lifelike environment.
Starfish Table
In the same Los Altos, California home as the round Lighthouse sculpture pictured above resides this unique, commissioned Starfish theme table. The area carpet continues the Starfish theme and their kitty, in typical cat behavior, decided it was really his.
