Streamside Sculpture Trail
I carved the Kingfisher specially for the Streamside Sculpture Trail which is currently showing at RHS Garden Harlow Carr and runs throughout June.
Do you remember the first time you saw a Kingfisher? There’s usually just a flash of blue and sometimes you hear their call. My very first sighting was like that, though the second time, a Kingfisher perched on an old bare branch overhanging the water and sat for some time before diving. I was transfixed and didn’t dare move my binoculars. I remember it so vividly and it still brings a wave of excitement.

he is so dear. I love your aesthetic.
Ellen thankyou – sometimes I wonder if pieces end up with the look I intended, really sometimes it is as much as can be achieved to get a likeness, or carve accurately! The beak on Kingfisher was a challenge and I wasn’t quite brave enough. Next time!
and if you didn’t live so far away I would own one of your pieces.
Oh, thanks – it is a tremendous thing that I can receive at least your comment and appreciation, and that I can post a pic for you to see, even though seas separate us.
