 Along the same lines, I thought my husband's sculpture deserved a better setting so I placed her in a garden at the Vanderbilt Mansion. |

Berie, firat what a beautiful sculpture! Your husband's work certainly deserves a proper setting and how nice that you are the perfect person to make it happen! The Show Your Work board is the perfect place to share how an image could be transformed!

Once again nice job Berie but I need to ask a couple of questions,is this a lifesize sculpture in stone or a miniture setting as a model, similiar to the castle project. What ever the case you both compliment each other's talent's.

Excellent work on your part and his.  Is your husbands sculpture comparable in actual size and chiseled out of stone, or is it clay/bronze and table-top size ? ; either way, it is impressive. Years ago, I used to work for a (now world known) guy who did mostly table-top sized civil-war sculptures in clay, then somehow used the clay sculpture to make a mold that was then poured full of molten bronze to make the finished product; it was very interesting work. |

Thank you all for the compliments.
The sculpture is half life size (32 inches). I don't remember whether he did this in clay or plaster but it was cast in bronze at a foundry in 1983. I took a picture of it but of course had to shrink it quite a bit to fit into the garden background. Dick died in 2010 so I can't ask him how he made it and my memory isn't too good. I'm 86 now and am thinking of putting pictures of all his work that I have on the internet for no other reason than just getting it out there. Any suggestions on how I could make a gallery? Flicker? A blog? Facebook? I don't know the difference on all the many sites and need some advice.
Thanks again.
Berie

Berie I know I would appreciate it if you created a gallery for our pictures on our forum Berie. In the Images and Creative Techniques category is a board for user's to create there own personal gallery: Individual User GalleryMore globally, I think an account on Flickr would serve your purpose. They give you a terabyte of storage for free! |

I've been thinking of starting my gallery here as I did on PSEV. Do you advise using Postimage?

If you are going to also use Flickr you could do that first and then build your gallery here by posting from Flickr. I'm really the one to ask though, as I haven't put any time into figuring out the pros and cons of each image posting method. |
