Sgt.Dan Brown Statue on Today Show. NBC's Gabe Gutierrez Reports

The Heart of a Soldier.

This new military portrait statue is nothing like any other soldier memorials. A young soldier with a generous smile reaches out to a local kid in a midst of a war torn country... he is making friends with a child, showing that he came in peace.

This statue was inspired by a touching story that I heard from the family of Sgt.Dan Brown.

Ralphy the Shi-Tzu-Pomeranian Mix Dog Bronze Portrait

Mixed Breed Doggy That Will Make you Smile...

When a dog is a mixed breed, you get the best of both worlds, and still it is a surprise.
This cute little gentleman is Ralphy, a Shi-Tzu-Pomeranian mix dog.

 I can tell you that he has the most adorable face I've ever seen.

Ralphy the Dog Bronze shows him with his favorite toy

  

The statue accurately depicts Ralphy's unique markings- a rusty color mustache and a narrow stripe on his chest.

Bronze Ralphy was shipped to Australia.

This original bronze portrait sculpture was created as a surprise Christmas gift.

It is good to know that the Australians love their dogs as much as we do here in the US.

Portrait Sculpture of Basset Hound

Custom Desktop Sculpture of a Very Special Basset Dog

This is my first Basset dog portrait sculpture. I love depicting different breeds. It gives me a chance to do my research on their unique characteristics. Creating a dog portrait demands even more observation. Every dog is unique. 

This is Seymour. He was called a "Basset on Stilts"
Basset hounds have very short legs, but Seymour happened to stand taller than your average Basset.

I was commissioned to create a custom desktop portrait sculpture of Seymour the Basset that would honor his noble spirit and unique looks.

  I can't wait to see this sculpture cast in bronze. This unique dog portrait will be a fine addition to my custom dog bronzes portfolio. Visit my webpage Custom Bronze Dog Portrait Sculpture to see statues that represent different breeds: English Setter bronze, Belgian Malinois military dog, larger than life statue of Portuguese Water Dog , Bulldog mascot, bronze Pug portrait  and many others.
