Bronze
Sculpture: 'Lewis and Clark' |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In 1805, explorers Lewis
and Clark reported that they found Canada Geese nesting in cottnnwood trees along the western banks of the Missouri
river. Canada geese are quite willing to accept unusual nesting
conditions of many types. Instinctively
the geese choose nesting sites that would offer some protection, while isolating
themselves from predators. The birds often usurping the nest
of Ravens, Owls, and Herons to create a favorable habitat.
The sculpture is a tribute to the long and enduring expedition across North America by two courageous men, Captain Meriwether Lewis and Frontiersman William Clark. Their scientific expedition has expanded the frontiers of all knowledge and their daily journals have become wonderbooks in the literature of exploration, for years to come. |

Sculpture Theme: The sculpture depicts a
pair of cackling geese nesting in an upland wooded area along a shallow
stream. The river bed waters trickle down through the remains of
a well rooted cottonwood tree. The geese seek sanctuary from their
predators, as they purch themselves on the intertwining branches.
The original sculpture of Lewis and Clark was created in wax,
and casted in bronze using the lost wax process. It is beautifully finished with
colored patinas and paints. The sculpture has been created for indoor/outdoor fountains or ponds. The sculpture has been properly plumbed and comes complete with all necessary brass fittings and PVC
adaptors, for easy installation. The sculpture is part of a Limited Editions, number 3 of 15. Dimensions are as follows: Height 30", Length 18", Depth 22". |
