Collecting Horse for Stourhead

I helped Paul Boswell and Rachel Macleay collect their Horse from Horseworld near Bristol to take to Stourhead, the National Trust property in Wiltshire, where it will be in the Scraptors' Sculpture Trail Beyond the Garden Gate throughout September. The horsebox was decorated by Paul for a neighbour. Paul has wielded his brush on murals for clients in Shanghai and Helsinki as well as nearer places such as Bristol and London. You can see Rachel holding the Horse in place on the lifting gear.

Barn Owl Flying

I have hung up my Barn Owl Flying made from a car fender found while I was walking the dogs. There was a heap of burnt out out car bits. This will be exhibited at Stourhead, Wiltshire in September with other owls by my fellow Scraptors in our sculpture trail round the woods.
