Pussycat cast in bronze on a limited edition of eight possible castings. What a delightful feline character he is, such a friendly fellow!

The great race is on! Here Tortoise is in the lead with Hare fleet-footed in the distance…
This is the second of the edition, and I have barely resisted the temptation to encrust the bronze sculpture with precious stones.
The fable is mounted upon a base of African black wood, elevated on a pin of sterling silver.

Pussycat is my latest sculpture commission completed in wax for bronze.
I have used Mephistopheles our studio cat as willing model for ‘Pussycat’.
He walks as if rubbing up against you stretched onto his tiptoes, three feet touching the base, with arched back.
He demands attention from the viewer.
I have elongated elements of his anatomy to accentuate his expression and his tail flicks in a charming ‘S’ spiral.

Goddess in bronze
My second monumental-size sculpture cast in bronze.
Dedicated to the North Westerly winds, she brings rain to our thirsty Western Cape earth, a blowing, billowing, blustery storm wind.
She is a mythological piece following a similar thread of content as my ‘Cape Doctor’ a bronze sculpture of the South Easterly wind that I made some years ago.
The Cape Doctor, the beastly South Easterly that cleanses, here is my article link:

He is The South Easter and Bacchus and stands in a private garden in Stellenbosch South Africa.
