The carved plaster items were sent to Martin Bellwood at MB fine arts for casting in bronze. I look back at these pieces now and wonder how I managed to put so much detail into each of the items. I did study lots of different images and drawings most of them were natural history illustrations, if you are into that kind of thing you will recognise one or two of the bird images.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5-Curlew.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-83\" title=\"Curlew\" src=\"http:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5-Curlew-1024x934.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5-Curlew-1024x934.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5-Curlew-300x273.jpg 300w, https:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5-Curlew-328x300.jpg 328w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/6-Curlew-food.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-84\" title=\"Curlew food\" src=\"http:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/6-Curlew-food-1024x1015.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/6-Curlew-food-1024x1015.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/6-Curlew-food-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/6-Curlew-food-302x300.jpg 302w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These photos were taken around 8 years after they were first installed and apart from the richer patina they look as fresh as a daisy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/7-Cormorant-food.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-85\" title=\"Cormorant food\" src=\"http:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/7-Cormorant-food-1024x950.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/7-Cormorant-food-1024x950.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/7-Cormorant-food-300x278.jpg 300w, https:\/\/russcoleman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/7-Cormorant-food-323x300.jpg 323w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These small bronzes were done for the Stone Jetty Morecambe as part of the Tern project.
