| Sculptures
Don's sculptures usually portray people engaged in activities that are symbolic of their culture or an activity that will bring back memories of an exciting activity done in the past, such as a Maasai Warrior tracking a lion, Pueblo women creating pottery, or a skier flying through new powder snow.He also enjoys doing whimsical sculptures of animals and children.
Wax or clay are used to sculpt the subject showing emotions and movement specific to their activity. The wax sculptures are cast into a limited edition bronze by Burning Palace Bronze, a fine art foundry.The clay figures are kiln fired by Don and then the detailed finish is created with Bisq-stains.
